The numerically controlled universal bending machine from Oakley Industrial Machinery is a fully programmable solution for bending heating elements with one or two bending units. It can perform automatic bending on a single plane or multiple planes, accommodating a wide range of shapes, sizes, and bending angles.
Using OIM’s 3D-graphic programming software, operators simply enter the geometric data of the heating element. The machine automatically generates the bending program, leveraging previous bending experience stored in its database. Preset programs allow the machine to achieve accurate dimensional tolerances from the very first element, minimizing setup time and ensuring consistent, repeatable results.
The concrete advantages that make the difference

By entering standard bending data, the machine automatically and reliably generates the execution program, drawing on a database of prior bending experience. This delivers a correct part on the first try, eliminating the need for manual adjustments.

Our 3D graphic programming software lets you create and run the bending program instantly — just enter the heating element’s geometric data. Parts can also be simulated before production, guaranteeing the best result with zero risk of collisions.

Main movements are controlled by electric axes, with all position and power parameters saved directly with the part program. Fewer mechanical adjustments mean faster setup and precise, repeatable positioning at every changeover — no specialist operator required.

An optimized design cuts maintenance needs and component wear, making the machine more reliable and dependable over the long run.

Simple, fast programming with storage for up to 10,000 programs.

The machine bends heating elements of varying lengths, with tolerances programmable for each branch of the element.
