Angle Measurement System IRIS PLUS

BendVision technology provides a range of real-time angle measurement data that includes the inside and outside angles of the material, average angle, material warp angle, material spring back angle for various material types, thickness and grain direction, plus end of relaxation angle once the bend has been completed.

Raw and processed BendVision image data can be utilised in advanced tool recognition and confirmation processes. Live images of the punch and die can be compared with reference images that are stored in the CNC. Tool recognition and confirmation can be use for an array of functions including tool damage prevention if the programmed tools do not match the tools that are physically installed on the machine.

Dynamic Angle Control is ideal for high speed processing of volume production parts. When the first part is formed, Active Angle Control is first initiated to automatically calculate the spring back of each individual bend in the part. After spring back is calculated and recorded for the first part, then Dynamic Angle Control is activated. Dynamic Angle Control uses real time angle data plus the recorded spring back value to automatically and accurately control the bending depth, with the final angle automatically confirmed after decompression before proceeding to the next bend. Dynamic Angle Control is a high speed process that ensures accuracy and consistency between parts with no delay to the bending operation.
