What is a Flexible Bending Center?

A flexible bending center is a high-end intelligent equipment specifically designed for sheet metal bending processing. Unlike traditional press brakes that require tool changes for different processing methods, flexible bending centers achieve rapid, multi-angle, multi-process continuous bending through multi-axis linkage control systems and standardized bending tools.

Qingdao D.K. Histron has focused on the research and development of flexible bending centers since 2018, successfully developing a fully automatic bending center with international advanced level in 2020. Its core advantages lie in: adopting the mode of upper computer numerical control system and motion control card, the upper computer has a simple and easy-to-learn human-computer interaction interface supporting visual programming of graphics; the motion control card itself supports 24 axes and can be updated to 64 axes to support EtherCAT bus control, with powerful positional computing capabilities.

Flexible bending centers can be widely used in various fields including office supplies, architectural curtain walls, kitchen equipment manufacturing, refrigeration equipment, enclosures and cabinets, elevators and escalators, medical devices and laboratory equipment, metal doors, architectural decoration and home furnishings, environmental protection equipment, industrial manufacturing, etc. One machine serves multiple purposes, adapting to high-mix, low-volume production needs.
