Retrofit for Bending Robot Cells
Robots in press brakes have long been a goal for many sheet metal fabricators. Although robotic systems have been available for decades, they were traditionally very difficult and time-consuming to program and required a significant investment. Only in recent years has robotic programming become much easier.
A Historical breakthrough in press brake robotics was achieved on October 22, 2024, at the Eurobleach exhibition in Germany. The Cybelec team, together with retrofit partners from around the world, showcased a financially viable robotic solution that is accessible even to small workshops. Moreover, the robot is programmed directly through the “VisiTouch” press brake controller, with programming times comparable to a standard bending program, making it practical for both small and large production runs.
