E-FLEX: wire bender for complex 3D items

E-FLEX is BLM’s completely electric single-head wire-bending machine. The scope of wire is expanding globally. The BLM wire line includes both single-head and double-head solutions to meet all production needs. E-FLEX, in particular, is BLM’s completely electric numerically controlled single-head wire-bending machine that is designed to process diameters up to 8mm. It has two bending turrets with clockwise/ anticlockwise rotation and is suitable for 3D bending. It also enables several bending technologies to be used simultaneously (flexure, blows, variable radius). Supplying the wire from a coil ensures automatic operation. The workpiece is straightened in a single forward movement, at constant speed, without intermediate stops, ensuring precise straightening and bending repeatability. The 3D (VGP3D) visual graphic
