At Excel Machine & Tool, Inc. we can design and build a Semi and Fully Automated Bending Machine to fit your needs. Our machines, modeled in 3D space, are designed to your specifications in an effort to minimize your production costs and maximize your production throughput. For the parts that you need bent, Excel can design and build a Semi or Fully Automated Bending Machine that will produce your parts with a high level of quality and precision. Costly part defects can be prevented by incorporating POKA -YOKE techniques used to prevent simple human errors.

With the use of 3D modeling software, your machine begins to take shape. Starting with a 3D model of your part, bend tooling is designed around your part and a machine base is added. Once the basic design is completed, modifications are made to achieve a small foot print and an ease of operation. Next the electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic components are added into the machine design. The process is completed with the addition of machine guarding. The end result is a complete 3D model of your machine. In the event that the original part print is changed, the original machine design can be reviewed for potential tooling modifications.

Excel, a machine builder who can provide you with:

• Minimal set-up material required
• Improved part quality with the addition of the latest in POKA -YOKE techniques
• Part locators designed to avoid incorrect loading of components
• Operator friendly machines
• Machines with space saving small foot prints
• 3D approval prints
• 2D machine design prints
• Electrical, pneumatic and hydraulic schematics
• Replacement details optional
• Heat treated gib and slide assemblies
• Heat treated tooling
• Form tools and bending dies mounted with the use of screws and dowels
• Ease of adjustment designed into the mounting blocks used to mount the form tools and bending dies
• Automatic load systems - conveyor or hopper
• Automatic unload systems - parts placed on a conveyor, stacked onto rods or dropped into a basket
• Multiple stations combined with a transfer system
  • Secondary operations such as end forming, hole piercing, gauging or component assembly can be included
• Changes to the original part design can be handled easily by reviewing the original 3D machine model
  • Minor modifications to the existing tooling can easily be handled at your location
  • Major modifications would require the machine to be returned to Excel's facility. Impact to your production would be minimized by have any new tooling machined and ready to install prior to the actual return of the machine.
