RAS machines for: Kitchen equipment and cleaning machines

Multibend-Center ECO bends exhaust hoods

Recently delivered to China: RAS Multibend-Center ECO panel bender. Our customer Aisen Kitchen Equipment folds many exhaust hoods for the US market on a Multibend-Center RAS 79.26-2 ECO panel bender. They customer confirms:

  1. The consistent and repeatable bending accuracy makes the Robotic Laser Welding very easy.
  2. No bending scratches or bending marks is very important for our stainless steel products and eliminates downstream polishing.
  3. We are able bending 300+ hoods per day with a single operator. Much quicker than previously on press brakes.

Bending commercial washers and dryers

While most companies just look for more productivity in metal bending, other producers use a more global approach. One of these companies is Miele & Cie. KG in Lehrte near Hanover. Short cycle times were not their main focus for the RAS Multibend-Center investment. Issues like fast machine set-ups, the use of already deep-drawn blanks, a multifunctional tool set, high levels of part design flexibility and system reliability as well as improved logistic sequences have been much more important.

Ventilation ceilings for commercial kitchens

The video shows the RAS UpDown folding machine at Halton Foodservice GmbH in Reit im Winkl (Germany). The company, which belongs to the Finnish Halton Group, produces exhaust hoods and ventilation ceilings for commercial kitchens. The opposing bends were the main reason for investing in a RAS UpDown bi-directional folding machine.

Kitchen appliance

Bending the front of a kitchen appliance on the bending center RAS Multibend Center. The large glass cutout in this complex stainless steel part requires machine features like repositioning of the main manipulator during the bending process, an asymmetrical tool setup and tool change within the bending sequence. Due to the unmatched bending accuracy, subsequent laser welding of the corners is possible.

Scanning blanks for cooker hoods with camera system

The panel bender RAS Multibend Center folds cooker exhaust hoods. Due to the special shape of the blanks, a normal squaring process cannot be used. However, a camera system recognizes the shape of the blank, loads the bending program and sends the position data to a loading robot, which loads the blank precisely to the bending center.
