Active Angle Control is a high-precision angle control process: it calculates spring back for each bend individually, then uses Live Angle Bending to regulate bend depth and attain the correct angle.
Accurate angle measurement and correction are essential for precision sheet metal fabrication, especially during the bending process. The IRIS Plus is a cutting-edge system that is specifically designed for the most challenging applications in this field. This advanced device comes equipped with a laser transmitter and receiver set, which is mounted to the upper beam of a press brake. Moreover, the IRIS Plus boasts a high-speed digital camera and an image data processing system contained within the receiver unit. These components work in tandem in real-time to ensure the measurement of bending angles is accurate, and any necessary automatic correction is executed promptly.
Different dies can be combined with various V-openings, which range from 8 mm to 35 mm.
Most optimal accuracy results (3.6 meters or less)
Never collision with workpiece
Possibility of measuring on workpieces with apertures
IRIS Plus real time angle correction An important device for the most demanding applications.
The contactless angle measurement principle ensures that the system remains reliable, even under heavy-duty circumstances.
In partnership with Data-M Engineering, the iMeasure Laser angle measurement system offers precise bend angle measurement after a single bending operation. These fully-automatic laser-assisted systems are tailored for use with CNC press brakes. With the LaserCheck feature, they can accurately determine the bending angle with better than 0.1° accuracy, regardless of the material’s properties or thickness. This level of precision was previously unavailable in the industry.
Variable working distance
Die width up to 60 mm without adjustment
Automatic height compensation
