CNC Folding
Alpha Manufacturing has a range of forming facilities, each of them designed to suit differing product types.
Amada Astro Robot Folder
The Amada Astro 100NT is an automatic robotic bending system integrated with a 110-ton hydraulic press brake. It is designed for high-precision part productivity through reduced cycle times. The Astro 100NT is a totally unmanned robotic bending system, which increases productivity and profitability without increasing labour. The robot utilises the entire length of ram allowing flexible multiple stage bending.
Programs for folding components are produced off line dramatically reducing set up times and allowing cost effective small batch runs.
