Hybrid cnc press brake control system From ESA VIS-800 Series

New VIS-800 series We have created the  CNC of the future. 

1 rack only for all models,  100% digital, 100% Wifi  connectable, GlassOnly  100% Full Touch screens. 

With VIS-800 Esautomotion redefines CNC standards, offering a series  of innovations and features that incredibly improve efficiency and  productivity during installation on machines and systems. 

The speed  and graphics performance also guarantee an optimal user experience  for end users. 

The extraordinary nature of VIS-800 CNC machines can be  understood from the technical characteristics:

• Intelligent modularity: 1 rack only for all models. This allows  a significant reduction in warehouse stocks and an exceptional  simplification of the connections to the axes and control units to  all the other devices installed on the machines. 

• 100% Digital: the VIS-S800 series was born with a full digital  concept thanks to the Ethercat communication protocol. 

• 100% Wifi Connectable: the VIS-800 CNCs are designed for the  Industry 4.0 logics: they can all be connected to the internet,  allowing an absolute level of integration with the other systems  and management software installed inside the company. 

• New GlassOnly screens, 100% Full Touch: developed on  Esautomotion specifications, they are all equipped with a  chipset to support high-level graphics performance. 

• Advanced HMI graphic tools: possibility to develop complex  and 3D interfaces, simplifying user interaction. Turn-key power: all VIS-800 CNCs are software-bundled and  immediately operational, with significant savings in terms of  time and costs. 

• Maximum versatility: VIS-800 CNCs are adaptable to all  possible applications: sheet metal cutting and bending, marble,  wood cutting, general purposes. 

• Remote tele-assistance for all models: Fast Service  Esautomotion and Industry 4.0 fully combined thanks to the  permanent connection with the customer and the end user. 

• Total integration with all motors, drives and Esautomotion  expansion boards available.

Back gauges positioning 

EsaBend provides automatic and manual control options of the back gauge: 

- Automatic position back gauge supporting 

- Automatic calculation tooling considering the shape of fold 

- Graphic and interactive control for all of the axis 

- Snap Management on all axes for precise positioning stop 

3D Simulation and collision detection 

EsaBend comes with real-time, automatic 3D simulation, presenting a realistic visualization of the bending process. 

The simulation helps you to create an error-free process, producing NC code or a bending report. 

The simulation lets you check whether the part collides with the press brake, tool setups, finger-stops, or even with itself. 

It also checks whether the finger-stops collide with any of the tool setups, and whether the punches collide with the dies. 

- Real-time animation 

- Realistic visualization of bending process 

- Dynamic collision analysis (e.g. backgauge movement) 

- Detection of collisions between all moving elements 

- Operator part handling 

- 100% correct program

Tooling report 

The complete tooling report includes: 

- Bend sequence instructions 

- Tool information and tool setup details 

- Flat view with the bend sequence 

Innovative Press Brake Drives 

Innovation 

In the e-Z Hybrid Servo Drive, servo pumps replace the classic servo/ proportional valve and control technology. 

This con cept allows for an optimal adjustment of power and speed to  the bending process and simplifies the design of the press brake, 

while  minimizing energy consumption. The new drive solution requires significantly less space and less oil  volume than standard hydraulic systems. 

Engineering 

In a close collaboration between ESAautomation and Voith, an  optimal product combination was developed for the e-Z Hybrid Servo  Drive.  

The intelligent control allows a very flexible use of the press brake and  pushes forward the capabilities of the machine with the available  options for angle measurement and active crowning. 

You can benefit from our many years of expertise with regard to  managing complete drive systems.  

Our specialists are on hand to support you when it comes to the servopump group dimensioning. 

Energy 

Compared to conventional systems based on se-rvo/pro portional  valve technology, 

the e-Z Hybrid Servo Drive is energy-efficient,  because the system uses only as much energy as the press brake requires in the various phases: 

most of th pressure drop from  bottlenecks have been either eliminated or extremely reduced.  

The position control accuracy of 5 μm is a strongpoint of this system. 

Compared to conventional press brakes, where the-re is con  tinuous full energy consumption, the e-Z Hybrid Servo Drive energy  consumption is 95% lower in stand-by mode. 

Operative costs 

The e-Z Hybrid Servo Drive concept implies very high efficiency in  energy consumption; no energy is wasted in oil cooling.  

The state-of-the-art CNC provides additio-nal dia gnostic capabilities, which supports preventive maintenance and, in the ideal case, condition-oriented maintenance.  

The full remote connection is standard in this system.  

The OEM can connect from remote with the supplier or with his end  customer. 

When the machine is not working the system is complete shut down  and the energy consumption is near to 0%.
