Variobend EB 4, 2.00 Long Length Folder

The Variobend EB series are powerful long-length bending machines. The EB models impress by their precise versatility and an attractive cost effectiveness. They combine the best of quality and easy operation.
The patented bending system with the angular bending beam permits a diversity of profiles unprecedented up to now. The large free space created by the tilted bending apron enables the production of profiles which are only possible on VARIOBEND long length bending machines.
Variobend-ASCO innovations, such as the conical bending and stick together of profiles, the segmented bending and clamping beams made of high-strength steel as well as the automated crowning system, servo technology and
the new arched top beam are available as options.
The EB models are available in lengths of 4 to 12 metres as well as with a bending capacity of 1.50 mm to 2.00 mm of steel sheet.

Working Length: 4.100 mm
Bending Capacity: 2.00 mm

THE PATENTED BENDING SYSTEM
Variobend with its inclined backward-bending beam enables an unprecedented variety of profiles. The large open space created by the inclined bending beam enables the production of profiles which are only possible on Variobend long folding machines.

The high-strength BENDING AND CLAMPING BEAM SEGMENTS are extra harden. This ensure best bending. Separate segments allow fast change.

VARIOBEND DRIVE CONCEPT
combines highest bending speed with lowest power consumption. By using a Start/Stop technology the energy consumption reaches a minimum. With the optional Servo technology much higher bending speed with an even further reduction of energy consumption can be reached.

VARIOBEND CUTTING DEVICE
guarantees perfect cutting results. The cutting device is attached to the
chassis. This leaves the bending beam free from any guide rails.

THE VARIOBEND TORSION BAR
allows a controlled hemming over the full length to a pre-determined value

THE VARIOBEND CHASSIS
the solid base frame for the highest level of bending precision.

THE VARIOBEND BACK-GAUGE
driven by maintenance free high precise ball screws guarantees perfect positioning. Back-gauge range 5 – 1.000 mm
optional 1.250 mm.

VARIOBEND PRO 4.0 DESKTOP SOFTWARE
Markets are subject to permanent change. In sheet metal forming, this also leads to an ever higher complexity of products and processes. Effective, highly flexible, but also user-friendly solutions are needed. The software solutions of Variobend-ASCO will help you to get a grip on precisely these challenges, reducing expenses in the process as well. Networked production
reduces the risks of error and increases profitability.
With VARIOBEND Pro 4.0 you do not program your long length folding machine or up and down folding at the machine,
but in one or several workplaces, parallel to your production
Many order and small lots – this means for you that your machine operators or programmers have to program faster – error-free! With VARIOBEND Pro 4.0 you have
sufficient time for an efficient work preparation. VARIOBEND Pro 4.0 software displays all process steps for an efficient planning process. With VARIOBEND Pro 4.0 you do not program your long-length bending machine or your twin bending machine at the machine, but in one or several workplaces, parallel to production. This process reduces auxiliary process times distinctly and thus increase the machine availability dramatically. No time-consuming training on the machine. Thus, your VARIOBEND works productively without breaks.
