The challenge of complex bending
In the era of sheet metal working, flexibility is everything. The profiles to be bent are becoming increasingly complex, and the need to change setups quickly and accurately is crucial to maintaining competitiveness. Too often, however, tool management on press brakes becomes a bottleneck: limitations in the height of the tool adapters, downtime for manual alignment and difficulties in repositioning.
At Gasparini Industries, we have combined two of our most advanced technologies to solve these problems at their root: the AirSlide pneumatic clamping system and the Self-Aligning Hydraulic Clamping for high tool adapters.
Freedom begins at height
The first obstacle for complex bends is often the configuration of the tools. With our integrated system, this problem disappears.
Thanks to an optimised and robust design, the combination of the two systems unlocks the possibility of using tool adapters with unlimited height. You choose the tools that best suit your workpiece, without machine constraints limiting your design freedom. You no longer have to compromise on configuration.
Goodbye effort and connecting tubes
Repositioning and changing tool adapters are historically time-consuming and laborious tasks. With the combined system, everything is designed for speed and ergonomics:
- No Connecting Tubes: The integration of the AirSlide and hydraulic systems eliminates the need for external tubes or cumbersome connections between intermediate units. This means more space, fewer obstacles and simplified maintenance.
- Integrated Sliding Rollers: The tool adapters are equipped with sliding rollers, making lateral movement an effortless operation. The operator can reposition the tool in seconds, minimising setup time.
The result? Extremely fast tool changes that drastically reduce machine downtime.
Maximum flexibility
When a part requires a very long bending setup, it is essential that the side-by-side tool adapters form a uniform clamping line.
Our system ensures that the tools sections can be perfectly aligned, maintaining impeccable precision. Whether you need to create a single long configuration or a series of complex side-by-side setups, assembly is intuitive and the end result is a continuous bending line with no interruptions or misalignments.
Guaranteed and automatic precision
The real key is reliability. The hydraulic element of the system ensures automatic and perfect alignment with every cycle.
No manual adjustment is necessary. The machine aligns itself, ensuring that the tool is always in the optimal position. This translates into:
- Consistent Quality: Precise and repeatable bends on every piece.
- Zero Human Error: Elimination of problems caused by wear or sub-optimal alignment.
Conclusion: the Gasparini bending machine works for you
The combination of AirSlide and Self-Aligning Hydraulic Clamping is not just an accessory; it is an investment in flexibility and productivity.
We allow your operators to focus on bending, leaving the machine to handle setup and alignment.
With Gasparini clamping systems, you can say goodbye to bending limitations.
