Installing our Amada Manual Bending Cell
Posted on January 5th 2022 by Paul Ellis - Marketing & Business Development Manager.
Step into the QMP time machine as we take a look back at some of the key dates in our history. In this edition we journey back to 2017 when we successfully installed our Amada Manual Bending Cell.
2017
In 2017, QMP further expanded its wide range of hi-tech machinery purchasing the Amada Manual Bending Cell. The machine which was installed in our manufacturing facility, enabled QMP to enhance their productivity and quality of metal products.
Here is a selection of photos from the installation that took place back in 2017.
Masters in Metal
Our new Masters in Metal video series features the innovative Automated Robotic Bending Cell which QMP installed shortly after the manual bending cell. The video takes a closer look at the different stages of the metal bending process.
- Phase 1 – Loading – This is where the punched sheet steel is collected ready for bending. This robot has automatic onload and off load capabilities.
- Phase 2 – Bending – The component is bent into shape using a press brake method. This allows for precision folds time and time again.
- Phase 3 – Turning – This phase allows the machine to bend all 4 sides of the component in one clean movement.
- Phase 4 – Completion – The Bending Cell has automatic offload. So once the part is bent, a pallet with the finished part.
