FastBEND Robotic Press Brakes

Acieta FastBEND gives manufacturers an instant competitive advantage.

Bend more
parts – safely

Operating press brakes is a potentially dangerous part of sheet metal forming and metal part fabrication. But what if you could produce more, higher-quality parts without adding risk to your workers?

The FastBEND robotic press brake bending cell can be integrated with new or existing press brakes to process a wide variety of formed parts. It may be outfitted for bin, pallet and conveyor outputs.

Plus, get fast delivery in as little as twelve weeks so you can increase capacity right away.

Do You Need to AUTOMATE Your Press Brake?

Does your press brake sit idle during the day?
Do you have a lot of quality variances and scrap?
Do you lose time in downstream operations due to those quality shortcomings?
Do you want to increase capacity overnight or during off shifts or run lights-out?
Do you struggle to attract and retain skilled workers?
Do your employees experience problems due to straining and repetitive motion?
Are you concerned about operator safety around the press brake machines, especially when forming small parts?

If you said yes to any of these questions, FastBEND robotic press brakes could be your solution to address key business challenges, FAST.
