R-Brake software and WLM update
Update R-Brake software and WLM at QBTEC
In 2017, QBTEC, Netherlands, purchased a SafanDarley R-Brake for the automated production of boilers and grease drawers that are used in their frying systems. With the R-Brake, the press brake and robot are integrated into one system. The R-Brake has a fully automatic tool and gripper change connected to the machine.These and the product are programmed completely offline using RoboBend offline simulation software.
Since the installation of the R-Brake, more and more products have been programmed using the offline software. As QBTEC gained more experience with the system they developed a wish list of features they would like added to the software to further improve the bending process and to work even more efficiently. These wishes have been met and we recently updated the software at QBTEC to the latest version.

WorkLoadManager
In the latest version, the 3D files are processed in AutoPOL, our modern 3D system for programming press brakes offline. This determines the best bending sequence and then “SafanDarley Robobend” ensures the correct calculation of the robot movements in order to easily automate a new product.
This update ensures that QBTEC can also process small series automatically in order to limit the storage of material. When the products are programmed by the offline software, they are sent to the WLM (WorkLoadManager) and here the amount of each product is simply entered. The different products are automatically bent and stacked in sequence, without operator intervention.
QBTEC recently purchased 2 new SafanDarley press brakes, including an H-Brake 230T - 6 metres for the production of long stainless steel blades. These will be delivered soon.

SafanDarley has recently developed and manufactured a special shear for the German company Maxion Wheels. This electric/hydraulic guillotine shear combines all of our experience and technical knowledge in the field of efficient sheet metal cutting. The result is a Shear that cuts strips of 13.5mm thick steel plate into different widths every 6 seconds.
In 2020 it will be 25 years since SafanDarley launched the first electric press brake on the market. Sustainable development that is of greater importance in today's society than ever before. An important milestone that SafanDarley, as the inventor of the E-Brake, will not let pass unnoticed.
