Sep 07, 2023Robotic bending cell helps fabricators automate high-mix press brake work
Jun 04, 2025Forge Manufacturing Technology offers the Press Pilot robotic bending cell, built by Machine Pilot. It is designed for job shops and small OEMs, where it doesn’t make business sense to spend two hours programming a robot when it takes an operator much less time to run those parts manually.
With the no-programming option, the user does not have to worry about the time and labor required to program a part. According to the company, someone with minimal training can set up a part for the first time in less than 30 min. The second time the part is run, the user recalls the program in the PLC, fills the infeed station, adds a blank pallet on the outfeed, makes any necessary changes to tooling and the gripper, and hits "go."
If manual operation is desired, the robot skid can be rolled out of the way by a single person. Once the robot is moved back into place in front of the press brake, only a quick calibration is necessary.
