Dr.ABE_Astro Value Proposition

Previously, a user would manually determine the "gripper" for the bot, manually select the tools, and then manually create bend sequencing. Dr.ABE_Astro takes care of ALL of these functions automatically. Designed to handle large volumes and groups of unique parts, Dr.ABE_Astro makes it possible to select multiple parts from the data manager and process all of them on-the-fly. All of this comes together to form the most advanced automated bending solution to date.

Dr.ABE_Astro delivers significantly higher machine runtime and increases throughput. This is accomplished through offline programming and removing a live operator’s interaction with the Astro machine.

Dr.ABE_Astro Features

• Off-machine load and unload programming capabilities empowers the user to bypass the programming learning mode with the exception of final on-machine adjustments.
• Full 3D simulations allow for material handling programming in-office rather than out on the shop floor. This also saves valuable machine runtime and yields higher productivity. Multiple programs can be generated in one step.
• Automatic calculation of numerical data for bending and machine setup
• Simplified GUI for greater efficiency
• Batch automated program generation
• Off machine load and unload programming
• Bypass the learning mode programming
• Latest 3D visual simulation
