The MCB rolling machine line is the ideal apparatus to bend plate from 10 mm to 200 mm thicknesses with widths varying from two to up to six metres. It is accurate, user friendly and fast (plate advancement speed of six mt/min) and represents the best available on the market today. The MCB also represents advantages not available on other models. It can automatically pre-bend the leading edge leaving the shortest possible flat end. The MCB can roll the plate without removing, turning or reintroducing the plate as required by a single leading pre-bending machine used for this range of plate thicknesses. Unlike three roll models that require pre-bending on both ends, the MCB only requires that leading edge is pre-bent. Another important advantage is the possibility to make a shell in a single pass. The operator needs to identify only the lateral rolls position whereas on the three roll machine it is necessary to identify the six or nine positions to bend successfully a single shell.
The MCB concept from its inception has been designed for a complete automization package. Even the basic model is equipped with programmable visual displays with the possibility to memorize the lateral rolls position and (with the exception of the plate advancement which is performed manually) to perform an automatic cycle. It is possible to retrofit a powerful CNC control even after the model has been purchased that are widely recognized as the best CNC on four roll equipment currently available worldwide. Once equipped with CNC the MCB becomes a powerful and extremely accurate bending system capable of high productivity levels.
Another interesting characteristic of the MCB is the possibility to introduce material horizontally easily and quickly. The MCB can be equipped together with in-feed tables, loading stations and transfer units. In this case the rolling machine becomes the centre for automatic bending with a high level of productivity resulting in drastic reduction in cycle times.
All the MCB rolling machines are equipped with electronic rolls parallelism “Servo Tronic” that substitute completely the obsolete mechanical torsion bars used on old generation units. The MCB rolls machines all use the ultimate state of the art DAVI technology: PSG, PLT, EST and “Roll by Wire”. The DAVI technology not only represents an effective innovation but also reflects the trend in all AVI products towards user-friendly, programmable solutions to assist our customers with highly productive reliable competitive products.
