Schroeder EVO Center

The highly automated EVO-CENTER with ATC (Automatic Tool Change) gives you complete control over your bending needs. A single set of 15-3/4” tools that are automatically changed drastically reduces setup times while increasing the flexibility and part potential. Eliminate part flipping, part whip, and multiple operators with bi-directional folding and ergonomic automation. Since material variance has virtually no impact on part accuracies, you get parts with superior quality, and automated operation removes operator influence over part quality, and output. Schroeder Advanced Handling System (AHS) is a further development of the well-known suction gauge and offers the highest level of automation that can be achieved on a folding machine without the use of a robot. AHS can rotate – this means that the sheet gets turned to process the next bending side. Two camera systems control the process – pictures from the workpiece are compared with the CAD-data. Light barriers around the machine provide safety on the rear side of the machine. Through the combination of the Up-and-Down folding beam, the suction gauge and the rotating plate with suction cups in the center of the machine the software control is able to program the whole bending program without any manual intervention. The EVO Center is your industrial solution to achieve large-volume as well as flexible series production with utmost repeat accuracy.
