What is a Panel Bender?Why STON Panel Bender is extraordinary？

The Panel Bending Center from STON is the crowning achievement of this innovation. Featuring a high-strength cast body, high-precision machining, and cloud management capabilities, it established a new standards for production efficiency and accuracy in the industry.

Benefits of the Panel Bender

1.Highly Effective Automation

To complete multiple bending steps in a single setup, STON’s Panel Bending Center employs a servo-driven clamping arm detection system. This greatly reduces the need for human intervention, making it ideal for high production needs. A recent project, for example, allowed a customer to reduce production time by 25% by replacing traditional techniques with an automated solution from STON.

2.Precision and Consistency of a machine

Utilizing CNC systems in conjunction with closed-loop control technology（TRIO motor&Driver from UK), STON’s Panel Bending Center delivers precision unlike any other to ±0.01mm. Its ability to change positions in real time cuts waste and means consistently high-quality products. This has been a game-changer for industries with highly demanding tolerances, such as automotive and aerospace manufacturing.

3.Bending Speed and Time-Saving

The machine can bend at an impressive 0.2 second per blade. And its synchronized high-speed design handles even complex multi-step workpieces easily, especially when it comes to shortened production cycles. A home appliance manufacturer is reporting a 30% productivity increase with STON’s technology.

4.Lower Labor Costs, No Training Required

STON's Panel Bending Center has an intuitive user interface, and multi-language support that makes it an exceptionally user-friendly machine. New operators with zero experience can quickly get the hang of it. In addition, automation minimizes dependence on skilled workers, lowering operational expenses while preserving uniformity in quality.

5.Arcs And Circles That No Manual Technology Can Achieve

Dabbling in complex shapes and challenging bending tasks, STON’s machine is capable of utilizing patented compensation structure with high-strength, wear-resistant molds. For instance, it is great for producing parts with tight radii and complex geometries that would be hard or impossible to implement manually.

6.reduce waste

Each workpiece is processed precisely with STON's sheet thickness detection system and high-performance servo motors. This reduces material waste and production losses, leading to cost savings and sustainability improvements.

7.Cloud Management & Remote Diagnostics

Such cloud management features enable remote monitoring of equipment status and diagnostic capabilities. It can also import over 100,000 3D models, helping to simplify production planning and quickly adapt to changing demand.

There are several applications that can be achieved with the Panel Bender.

The STON’s Panel Bending Centre is used in a variety of sectors, such as:

Sheet Metal Cabinets: For electrical control cabinets and communication cabinets.

Home Appliances: Designing housings for washing machines, refrigerators, etc.

Metal Fabrication Architectural Ornamentation: Curtain walls, decorative panels and other metal work

Automotive: Accurate forming of vehicle components.

Aerospace: Building complex, high-precision metal components.
