Nowadays, whether you bend manually or automatically no longer depends solely on lot size and the variety of parts. Even small series and parts that change frequently can be manufactured cost-effectively using an automated bending cell. The key factor is how you want to manufacture your products: Manual bending machines are suitable if your operators need to respond flexibly and intervene directly in the bending process. Automated bending machines, on the other hand, handle more steps of the process on their own and can produce autonomously over longer periods of time. In many manufacturing processes, the two approaches complement each other. This does not increase the programming effort: A ready-to-use bending program suggestion is generated at the push of a button just as quickly as with manual bending. You decide for yourself how much automation to use. The options range from mobile bending cells that you can connect to the machine as needed to highly automated systems with Smart Factory connectivity.
