NEW possibilities with conical bending!

CONIC BENDING opens up new possibilities for the TURBO2plus for bending roof and facade profiles, as well as advertising signs or enclosures!  The Bendex software automatically programs the parts, evaluates alternative bending strategies, and shows the bending sequence on the monitor in 3D.

Some RAS TURBO2plus highlights:

Versatile bending of profiles, panels and boxes

Touch & More

You will be fascinated about the easy to use Touch&More control. With the revolutionary RAS programming method the operator uses his finger as a pencil. He simply paints a flange and sizes it with his finger to the right dimension and angle. The Touch&More screen shows the finished part, simulates the folding sequence and shows whether the part can be folded or not. The CADalyzer automatically creates the program for most parts and shows the program, the finished part and the actual bend sequence all at one time.

Upper Beam

A super-fast drive system opens and closes the beam at 26 mm (1.0″) per second, up to a height of 200 mm (7.87″). As the open and close position is programmable, you can create any variety of hems, thus making your parts unique and versatile. The special upper clamping beam shape offers extra large areas in front of the beam. Large free areas behind the beam allow your operators to see the tools when creating large parts from the rear. Features you will hardly find anywhere else!

Lower Beam

The lower clamping beam with a deep box configuration is designed using the Finite-Element-Analyse and is directly linked to the side frame for maximum resistance to deflection and torsion free rigidity. This means high precision work, long machine life, a solid return on you investment, and perfect parts day by day.

Folding Beam

The folding beam on the TURBO2plus plus is another example of engineering superiority. Designed for deflection resistance, the folding beam is slim-line designed, which guarantees a torsion free configuration for accurate and precise metal folding parts. And with lightning fast 80 degrees per second speed, your productivity is insured. An equally impressive plus is its ability to adjust the folding beam automatically for different material thicknesses. In less than 10 seconds everything is finished. You will always produce with the optimum adjustment and you will have no down time, even if the material thicknesses

Tooling System

The three segment sharp tool can be taken on and off by a single operator in no time. The exclusive RAS goat’s foot tooling is precision designed, and literally “quick-clamps” and locks in position so that it is ready to work within seconds. No other tool system offers so much free space around the tool for all different part geometries. C-flanges can be as long as 56 mm (2.2″). Handy tool segments of maximum 200 mm (7.874″) length make it extremely simple to change tools. Four sided boxes can be as deep as 110 mm (4.3″) and the tools are designed for the creation of all possible part shapes with a single universal set of tools.

Backgauge and Sheet Support System

Another real plus is the unlimited backgauge versatility. Each backstop units comes with three position pop-up fingers. They are driven by a brushless AC servo motor with twin parallel guidance and position the workpiece to any dimension in under 2 seconds. The backstop system can come as “J” or “U” shape with lengths up to 3050 mm (120″). Think about it. Your operator can run small parts from the front of the machine. For large and heavy parts, the operator handles the workpiece from the rear of the machine. With the simplified handling he can fold even large workpieces all by himself.
