Short-side Benders FSW / FST
Product Details
Short-side Benders FSW / FST
PivaBend FSW (Folding Short Wide) sheet metal benders are the standard for short side bending in Pivatic. The FSW consists of two traversing bending machines with part positioning. Both sides are bent simultaneously for reduced cycle time, and they can be bent upwards or downwards. The transportation from long side benders to the short side benders can be in straight line or in a 90˚ angle, depending on the preferred layout for the factory area. In a straight line, a turning table is added for turning the part in the right orientation. Benders are servo electric for lighter gauge and hydraulic for heavy-duty applications. They are selected according to the type of material, material thickness, and main dimensions of the work pieces.

The PivaBend FSW can be equipped with an automatic hold down tool organizer for different part widths. The change from one part width to another is done automatically by the line controller system.
PivaBend FST (Folding Short Through) benders are run-through end benders for longer parts, up to 8000 mm / 314”. The FST station consists of a positioning device, feeding gripper, FST bender, and the pulling gripper. The FST can only bend upwards.

The maximum height of bends is 120 mm. When corner tools are used maximum height is up to 80 mm. |
Box Benders FSO / FSO-C
Instead of welding 3 parts together to form a U-profile, PivaBend FSO (Folding Short Open) sheet metal box benders can be used to form Casings from 1 part. The original PivaBend FSO is an open-frame machine with a height limitation of 2000 mm / 78” of the sections. A variant of this, the C-framed PivaBend FSO-C, is available and feasible to use when there are only upward bends, the cycle time allows it, or when the factory floor space is limited. The ends can also be bent in the FSO-C instead of including an FSW short side benders. The FSO-C has a section height limitation of 725 mm / 28”.

The PivaBend FSO and FSO-C can be equipped with a similar-type automatic hold down tool organizer for different part widths than what is used in PivaBend FSW. The change from one part width to another is done automatically by the line controller system.
