E-FLEX by BLM: the wire bender for complex 3D items
E-FLEX is BLM's completely electric single-head wire-bending machine. The scope of wire is expanding globally. BLM's wire line includes both single-head and double-head solutions to meet all production needs. E-FLEX, in particular, is BLM's completely electric numerically controlled single-head wire-bending machine that is designed to process diameters up to 8 mm. It has two bending turrets with clockwise/anticlockwise rotation and is suitable for 3D bending, enabling several bending technologies to be used simultaneously (flexure, blows, variable radius). Supplying the wire from a coil ensures automatic operation. The workpiece is straightened in a single forward movement, at constant speed, without intermediate stops, ensuring precise straightening and bending repeatability. The 3D (VGP3D) visual graphic programming and the continuous visual support of the processing zone make the machine extremely easy, comfortable and safe to use. The machine can in fact correct the programme automatically and safely by searching its database for previous bending experiences that ensure that the first product to be processed is correct.
