Electric CNC Wire Bending Machine



The E-Flex from BLM GROUP USA is an all-electric CNC wire bending machine.

BLM GROUP USA offers the E-Flex, a versatile CNC bending machine for wire fabrication.

The E-Flex is equipped with two clockwise and counterclockwise bending turrets for 3-D bending during one part operation, within the same machining cycle. Coil-fed wire is straightened in both a vertical and horizontal orientation to allow for various sizes and types of wire as well as automatic operation. "The process allows for excellent repeatability in most bending operations," said a company spokesperson.

The E-Flex is suited to bend wire with complex shapes and its flexibility allows for short runs as well as high-volume production. Further, the machine automatically corrects the program by searching for prior bends that could interfere with the bending sequence. This eliminates the need for manual adjustments in order to obtain the required parameters. In addition, chamfers can be added for burr-free cuts.

The unit incorporates VGP3D, a 3-D visual graphic program for constant monitoring of the machine to assist in performance and operator ease of use. With VGP3D operators can generate a single machining program by entering geometric part data, automatically simulate the feasibility of the bending operation, change the running sequence directly in simulation mode and calculate the real cycle time in advance.
