RAS presents the new XLTbend 2
At this year’s Blechexpo, RAS Reinhardt Maschinenbau GmbH presents the new XLTbend 2. An innovative folding machine that combines state-of-the-art technology, maximum precision, and outstanding energy efficiency.
With the XLTbend 2, RAS introduces a new generation of folding technology designed for precision, efficiency, and intelligent control. The machine is available in two versions with bending lengths of 3200 mm and 4060 mm, and depending on the model, it handles material thicknesses of up to 3 mm. This makes it highly versatile and perfectly suited for a wide range of sheet metal applications.
Precision through intelligent crowning system and automation
The intelligent crowning system ensures consistent and highly accurate bending results across the entire working length. In combination with the newly developed, optional robot integration and the powerful RAS automation solution LUNA, the XLTbend 2 enables fully automatic loading and unloading, which makes the production process significantly more efficient. With well-defined interfaces, the machine can be seamlessly integrated into existing production environments. This optimizes workflows and increases process reliability.
More energy efficiency with advanced drive technology
A key focus during development was on energy efficiency by replacing the four main drives from IE3 asynchronous motors with modern IE5 or higher servo drives. The result: more power, less energy consumption, and a clear contribution to cost-effective and environmentally conscious production.
The XLTbend 2 also impresses with a range of practical, application-oriented improvements. The 3-in-1 hybrid backgauge with increased suction power, combined with rear access to the bending line, provides greater safety, flexibility, and convenience when handling parts. In addition, the stronger folding beam stroke offers more power and expanded functionality for advanced bending operations.
