Finnish Press brake manufacturer Aliko is known for innovative product development and flexible design.
Aliko’s Finnish-made Press brakes and tooling solutions present cutting-edge technology and quality. The customers benefit from the advanced and comprehensive solutions for machining heavy materials. Aliko press brakes are manufactured in Finland according to customers’ specifications and requirements.
This article highlights a couple of the latest innovations. These are the Aliko KMJ Angle measuring device, Aliko CNC Vario crowning 400 and Aliko CNC Vario die.
CNC-controlled and servo-driven measuring with Aliko KMJ Angle Measuring Device
When the bending pressure is released from the material, it will tend to return to its original shape. This effect, which will result in a bend that isn’t at the desired angle is called springback. This makes overbending necessary to achieve the desired angle. With a CNC-controlled Aliko KMJ angle measuring device, it is possible to measure the springback effect and automatically calculate a correction in real-time to reach the desired angle.
- Typical measurement accuracy is better than +/-0.1 °
- Can be used with 1V lower tools or CNC Vario dies.
- Can be cleaned pneumatically.
- Change of lower tool won’t affect the measuring or make moving the measuring necessary.
- A covered parking space at the bending table.
- Has a blue beam, making all the lights on the bending bed in different colours.
- Collision protection for safety.
Aliko CNC Vario crowning 400 makes adjusting crowning easy
Aliko CNC Vario crowning 400 is constructed of servo-driven self-locking wedges. These wedges are adjusted by servomotors from the control panel. The wedges are located every 500 mm, and each can be managed with an accuracy of 0,01 mm. The ability to adjust crowning in this situation is ideal, especially when bending demanding materials and aiming for flawless bending results.
Due to the deflection of the upper and lower beams when pushed against each other, the accuracy of the bending angle will be affected. Aliko’s crowning system is designed to compensate for the deflection of the upper and lower beams, so accurate bend angles can be achieved throughout the length of the bending material. The CNC calculates the required compensation automatically, after which the operator can make further adjustments based on the bending result. With Aliko Vario crowning, 400 adjustments can be made with absolute precision.
Fast V-opening adjustment straight from the CNC
Aliko has developed a durable and fast CNC lower tool for press brakes. With the CNC lower tool, the V-opening change occurs in seconds and is completely automatic through the CNC control of the press brake. Due to the speed of the adjustment, the production of small series is cost-effective and much preferable compared to standard bending tool solutions.
The design of the tool pays special attention to durability and precision control. V-opening adjustment range and tool length can be customised according to customer needs:
- Motorised V-opening adjustment, precise positioning every 10 mm
- Fast v-opening adjustment straight from the CNC.
- Strong and durable construction; excellent load resistance
- Possibility to add rollers at the corners of the V-opening.
