Recently, the "OFweek 2026 (7th) China Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Conference," hosted by the high-tech industry portal OFweek, successfully concluded in Shenzhen. ESTUN's Intelligent Bending Processing Center BENDING CELL won the "Vico Cup · OFweek 2026 China Intelligent Manufacturing Industry Annual AI + Intelligent Manufacturing Innovative Product Award" for its innovative technological advantages such as highly integrated modular design and AI teaching-free programming.

Faster, More Accurate, More Intelligent

Intelligent Bending Processing Center BENDING CELL

ESTUN's Intelligent Bending Processing Center ESTUN BENDING CELL is a new-generation sheet metal automated bending solution that integrates robotics, visual positioning, and intelligent control. It addresses flexible production with multiple varieties, small batches, and short delivery times, providing high-precision, high-efficiency, and low-energy-consumption bending automation support.

The solution adopts a highly integrated and modular design, with a compact and flexible structure that adapts to high-density production layouts and is easy to embed into existing production lines. It offers excellent equipment compatibility, supports plug-and-play, and enables rapid integration and commissioning, shortening project cycles. The master control system is deployed in a one-stop manner, realizing integrated operation and monitoring of bending robots and CNC machine tools, improving production efficiency. It supports mixed-line production of multiple varieties and small batches, and improves overall equipment utilization through mobile design, modular actuators, and a workpiece recognition and positioning system.

01 Faster: From Drawing to Finished Product in Just a Few Minutes

Traditional bending programming relies on manual teaching, which often takes at least half a day. The E-Bend Studio of the Intelligent Bending Processing Center supports one-click import of DXF/STEP/IGES drawings. AI automatically identifies bending features, intelligently merges bending lines, drag-and-drop configures dies, and automatically plans processes and paths. From drawing to runnable program, the whole process takes only a few minutes.

02 More Accurate: AI+ Greatly Improves Precision and Stability

High-precision simulation and real-time collision detection avoid on-site "crashes." The E-Bend Master master control system supports online fine-tuning of bending points and 1:1 digital twin synchronization, enabling remote machine adjustment without a teach pendant. Combined with angle detection and closed-loop control, every finished product is within tolerance.

03 More Intelligent: AI+ Makes Production More Efficient

AI teaching-free programming, one-click deployment, and coordinated operation of robots and bending machines;

Supports mobile phone scanning to switch orders, enabling changeover of multiple varieties and small batches without changing personnel;

Automatic alarm for abnormalities, one-click reset, and a data dashboard for real-time monitoring of yield and takt time.
