The concept
With the EASYFORMER line, Kurth+Heuser presents its new CNC edge processing machines for the production of non-circular sheet-metal hollow parts and blanks with different geometries. The machines offer extraordinary flexibility for the processing of various workpiece contours, materials and panel thicknesses.
The technology
Highly dynamic operation, accurate positioning, excellent repeat accuracy as well as robustness and long service life were the requirements set for the development of the EASYFORMER-CNC line. The result is the accurate interaction of servo-hydraulic actuators with a servo-electric workpiece drive, CN-controlled for maximum precision.
Programming by operators trained on the job
Machines of the EASYFORMER line are easily set up even by operators without professional training: Just preselect the workpiece contour from the selection of standard shapes directly at the control panel and specify the dimensions. Any other contour can be set up just as quickly. Highly dynamic EASYFORMER actuators ensure the precise implementation even of non-standard edge geometries on non-circular workpieces. Material deviations of the workpiece can be compensated swiftly and flexibly by adjusting the programme.
