With its patented Smart Arm system, PB NL offers a pioneering solution for the automatic bending of rigid spacer frames, used to manufacture insulating glass units. This robust and versatile machine can bend a wide range of different materials, including aluminium, steel, steel/plastic as well as latest-generation spacers in glass-fibre-reinforced plastic. The fully integrated 12-station storage unit automatically connects and disconnects spacers of various widths and types directly to and from the bending head. Used in combination with the production control software, the platform is designed to optimise frame handling, particularly large frames.
The use of the Smart Arm ensures precise bending, guaranteeing the stability of the spacer and the integrity of the material at the corners. An exclusive cutting blade with rotation speed control cuts all types of materials cleanly and eliminates the need for lubrication. PB NL is also equipped with a rapid tool change system that significantly reduces and side deformation after corner bending, for exceptional quality and a precise finished frame. The available options include ink jet or laser marking, to further simplify the production process.
