Mitsubishi Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) Press Brake Series

Compatible with the Diamond Hybrid BH Series Press Brake

Save yourself some time and money.

Automation in the press brake world hasn’t seen something like this. Without having to switch tools manually, the Mitsubishi tool manipulator allows for seamless operations when bending sheet metal. Want a part that will look exactly how you want it and for high production? Look no further…


how does automatic tool changing save you money?

Let’s give you an example of how the ATC can save your business big money, with an operation consisting of 3 shifts:

Without atc (manual Tool changes):

  • Shift 1:
    9 Press Brake Setups
    3 hours per day on setups

  • Shift 2:
    9 Press Brake Setups
    3 hours per day on setups

  • Shift 3:
    3 Press Brake Setups
    1 hours per day on setups

Total per day: 21 setups in 7 hours

30% of the day spent on tool changing

 

With atc (Automation)

  • 21 Setups in ONE HOUR

Total per day: 21 setups in 1 hour

4% of the day spent on tool changing


Create programs offline using the DiamondBend software controller.

Create programs offline using the DiamondBend software controller.

In this scenario, we saved 6 hours of labor per day on setups, which could be time used for producing parts, deburring, or other operations.

At Fabtech, Mitsubishi averaged 500 tool changes - almost a months worth of standard tool changes - per day!



Automatic TOol Changer Specifications:

CAPABILITIES:

  • Tool storage – Customers now have options ranging from 107.28’ (32m) up to 170.60’ (52m) of tooling, allowing the greatest variation of tooling storage ranging from high runner V openings to specialized tooling, such as hemming or offset tooling

  • Automated too setup & cleaning – The ATC will automatically change the tooling while the operator is free to perform other tasks further reducing press brake setup time. Up to 50 mm (2”) v-die opening and 500mm (19.7”) tool lengths can be used in the ATC. The manipulator is also equipped with a cleaning device that cleans the tools and bed surface automatically during tool changes.

  • Tool usage flexibility – Machines equipped with the ATC are not limited to using tools from the tool changer’s storage. The operator can use the machine as a stand-alone press brake, as well as an automated system. This gives the operator flexibility for hot jobs, one-offs, or jobs that utilize tooling not stored in the tool changer allowing for the greatest flexibility of any other ATC system.

  • The Diamond BH “dual drive” system controls high-speed up/down movement with a ball screw and bending movement by the servo-hybrid piston system for unbeatable functionality.

  • The dual drive system allows high-speed down movement at 200 mm per second with high repeat-stop accuracy while still offering energy savings thanks to an assist device that stores the energy of down movement for the industry’s fastest cycle time 2.3s.

  • The ram floats on a gas cushion, thereby greatly diminishing the weight to return the ram to the top of the stroke, resulting in lower operational costs for greater cost-efficiency.

  • Ram cylinders powered by AC servo motors with 1-micron repeat accuracy and combined with a back gauge, accurate down to 4 microns, the BH Series delivers positioning accuracy unparalleled in the industry, part after part.

  • With automatic thickness detection & compensation, angular irregularities are minimized due to material thickness with no added options or external measurement devices needed; the BH series holds tolerances some machines can only hope to do with angle measurement systems.

Mitsubishi Videre On-Screen Operator Support

Compatible with most Diamond BB & BH Series Press Brakes

carlson-videre-press-brake-operator-assistance.png

Press Brake Training Costs have never been lower.

Wouldn’t it be great if there could be someone in the room at all times to instruct operators on how to correctly bend their parts? What if a screen was put right in front of the operators that gave real-time feedback on the size, direction and location of their parts? Well, look no further; this state-of-the-art press brake technology by Mitsubishi brings a whole new meaning on how to workers on the production floor.


The Videre add-on brings press brake training to a whole new level.

The Videre add-on brings press brake training to a whole new level.

  • Lower Setup Time

    • Compared with a manual clamped machine, the Videre gives up to 80% reduction in time spent during setup.

  • Increase Accuracy

    • By having both a screen in front of the operator’s work station and allowing for guidance of the parts both rear and front view, less mistakes will be made and the amount of slipups will be greatly reduced.

  • Enhance Production

    • With fewer bending mistakes and reductions in time spent setting up and training, no extra money is spent on automation and more time is spent on production.

Being quick and easy to understand for any operator, the Videre add-on brings simplicity to a skill that was once a technical one.



Videre Press Brake Support Specifications:

The VIDERE operator support system is available for the following Diamond BB series and Diamond BH series press brakes:

  • BB6020

  • BH8525

  • BH13530

  • BH18530

  • BH18540

  • BH25030

  • BH25040

Most BH Series Hybrid press brakes are compatible with the Videre add-on

Technical Specs:

CAPABILITIES:

  • Reduced setup time due to shape, length, and install position information is displayed in front of the operator in a 1 to 1 scale it is quick and easy to understand for any skill level

  • Bending simulation is displayed on the front of the machine and guides part handling from both a front and rear view, preventing mistakes for asymmetrical work.

  • Work is clearly displayed in a large, easily readable format directly in front of the operator, eliminating any unnecessary movement that could result in mistakes or inefficiencies.

  • Reduced setup time, fewer bending mistakes, and less operator movement to the control to check bending sequence or confirm dimensions equals more parts per shift of operation. Increase production with the same footprint of a standalone machine without the large budget for automation.

  • The machine becomes the teacher whether you are forming for the 1st time or unfamiliar with the press brake you can process a part guided by the VIDERE operator support tool. Practice bending by watching the simulation and have operators trained in hours or less. So simple a salesman can operate it.

  • Work status, parts in progress, caution signals, and other notifications can be visually recognized and understood from anywhere in the shop

  • Display additional support documentation, engineering notes, setup sheets, job travelers, part pictures, etc. Attach and precautionary documentation that is important to processing the part and the system will display information for the operator.
