The Professional Multi Point Bending Machine is a high-precision, automated equipment tailored exclusively for the production of IBCs (Intermediate Bulk Containers) cage frames. As a core device in IBCs manufacturing lines, it integrates advanced mechanical structure, intelligent control, and flexible configuration, effectively addressing the high-precision, high-efficiency, and multi-specification requirements of cage frame bending, significantly boosting production quality and operational efficiency for enterprises.
The equipment frame adopts an integral processing technology, which eliminates cumulative errors caused by split assembly and ensures exceptional structural stability. This integral design not only lays a solid foundation for high bending precision but also enables stable operation even under long-term continuous work. With a processing rhythm of one frame every 20-25 seconds, the machine achieves efficient mass production, far exceeding the efficiency of traditional semi-automatic equipment and perfectly matching the high-throughput demands of IBCs cage frame production lines.
To ensure the diagonal dimension accuracy of the cage frame—a key indicator affecting the assembly and load-bearing performance of IBCs—the machine is equipped with a special bending balance system. This system dynamically adjusts the bending force and angle of each point in real time during the processing, effectively avoiding diagonal deviation caused by uneven stress on the pipe. It ensures that the diagonal dimensions of each cage frame are consistent, laying a reliable foundation for subsequent assembly processes.
In terms of control mode, the machine adopts a human-machine interface (HMI) combined with PLC programming control, realizing a high degree of automation. The HMI features an intuitive operation interface, allowing operators to easily set parameters such as bending angle, speed, and quantity, and monitor the processing status in real time. The PLC control system ensures fast response and stable operation of the equipment, reducing manual intervention and operational errors, and lowering the threshold for operator training.
For further improving automation and reducing labor costs, the machine can be optionally equipped with a manipulator for automatic loading and unloading. The manipulator seamlessly cooperates with the bending process, automatically conveying raw pipes to the processing position and removing finished frames after bending, realizing an unmanned processing loop. This configuration not only reduces personnel allocation but also avoids workpiece damage and precision errors caused by manual handling.
The machine boasts excellent flexibility in handling multi-specification cage frames. By simply replacing the mold blocks, it can meet the bending needs of different pipe diameters, specifications, and shapes of IBCs cage frames. The mold replacement process is simple and efficient, requiring no complex tools, which greatly shortens the production changeover time and adapts to the production needs of small-batch, multi-specification cage frames.
Powered by a servo hydraulic system, the machine features fast response, low inertia, and high precision. The servo hydraulic system precisely controls the bending force and displacement, ensuring uniform and stable bending effects, even for thick-walled pipes used in IBCs cage frames. Compared with traditional hydraulic systems, it also has the advantages of energy saving and low noise, conforming to modern green production concepts.
Each part of the equipment adopts a high-degree modular design, allowing for flexible configuration according to customer needs. Enterprises can select corresponding modules such as automatic detection, online sorting, and mold storage based on their production scale and automation requirements, gradually upgrading the equipment's automation level and realizing customized production solutions. This modular design also facilitates equipment maintenance and part replacement, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.
