How does the Ursviken FlexiCrown system work?
The system operates by utilising segmented wedges that can be independently adjusted. These high-strength cast iron segments are both durable and wear-resistant, designed to provide precise adjustments at 600 mm intervals.
By correcting deflections in the upper and lower beams, the system compensates for:
- Variations in sheet metal thickness and springback.
- Natural machine deflections
- Tool wear over time
This approach allows for meticulous control, and by storing and correcting within the system, operators can apply settings automatically for recurring products to minimise setup times.
Benefits of the Ursviken FlexiCrown system
One of the primary benefits is the substantial increase in bending precision. By addressing material deviation, the system reduces the likelihood of errors and material waste, leading to cost savings and improved product quality. Real-world applications demonstrate significant reductions in downtime, resulting in faster production cycles and increased overall efficiency.
Comparing the Ursviken FlexiCrown to traditional systems
Compared to traditional metal forming systems that may rely on fixed crowning solutions, the Ursviken FlexiCrown system’s adjustable segments offer unparalleled flexibility. Performance metrics indicate superior control over bending angles, reducing the need for manual adjustments and rework. Although the system requires an initial investment, the long-term benefits of improved accuracy make it a cost-effective choice for many operations.
