EDGEMASTER
|
|
Corner Forming Technology
|
| |
|
|
EDGEMASTER products feature a very unique
process to form corners to create for example a pan shaped part from a
solid rectangle of metal in one process. This technique eliminates all
welding and finishing as a secondary process. The savings for
manufacturers which either produce a lot of these types of parts or
those who today leave the corners un-welded, because they can not
afford to close them, can be tremendous.
|
|
|
Cold rolled steel up to 0.125 can be formed in almost
any combination of flange bending radius and actual corner radius.
Corner radii of up to 2 may actually be created.
Stainless steel, aluminum and other formable alloys may also be
processed.
The parts created are consistent in appearance. The material in the
vertical bend is not weakened, in the contrary.
Flange heights up to 1.0 or in special cases up to 1.5 are possible. Please see the flange chart for specifics based on your material and thickness.
|
| Significant time savings can be achieved
with the EDGEMASTER corner forming process. The process takes less than 9
seconds for each corner regardless of the material or the shape
applied. Utilizing the external cutting unit C100 increases
flexibility and reduces runtime. |
| The advantages to this novel approach are numerous:
Cost savings:
- No or limited corner notching
- No welding
- No or limited finishing
- Less space
- Less time
- Less consumables
Throughput:
- Shorter lead times
- No buffering in between
Improved Quality:
- Consistent
- Strong
- Clean inside radius (This is especially relevant for parts used in the food processing and medical industry.)
Working environment:
- Clean
- Less noise
- Ergonomic

Not only the process is unique. The M100 is genuine in
its design, simplicity and ease of use. An economic investment, it
features the through and through quality of its
solid engineering promising the user many
years of trouble free use.
The floor space required to place the unit is measures only 42 inches
square. External controls are mobile and to be located depending on
work piece dimensions.

- The blank is pre-bend on the customers press brake. Edgemaster
will modify a customers short piece of press brake die to create
the specific shape at the end of each bend.
- The corner is then formed down utilizing a stress free rolling
process. Large flange heights may require a rough pre- trimming of
the corner to avoid too much excess material.
- After forming the excess material is trimmed off, either
automatically in the M100 machine or externally in the C100 cutting
device. The flange in the corner is true to height. Special tooling
is available to create offsets.

 |
| The M200 features the same process of the
M100 but is able to process to corners simultaneously. Adaptable for
different width of the part this machine will double the output where
larger lot sizes need to be produced.
|
|
 |
The recently developed C100 cutting device will allow
the user to cut same corner radii parts with varying flange height in
one tool setup.
It further extends the application range for high tensile alloys such
as stainless steel.
And it will speed up the overall process as you can now process a part
in each machine in approximately 5 seconds, given additional manpower.
