Stierli Expands Automatic Measuring to its 220 and 420 CNC Horizontal Bender

Automatic measuring has traditionally only been available on Stierli’s 220 and 420 CNC WP Hybrid Benders. Now, however, the software and measuring tool have been adapted and are available as an option on standard model Stierli 220 and 420 CNC horizontal benders – delivering perfect bends regardless of material characteristics. Once the machine is programmed for angle or the stroke length, the integrated encode system measures the angle of the bent part and re-bends if needed (automatic spring-back compensation). The required stroke and the spring-back compensation are each calculated by the control to achieve the best possible accuracy. The automatic measuring tool and software compensate for differences in material, the angle or stroke setting throughout the bending program.
