Lithuania, Mažeikiai, 2026, Full-Electric CNC Bending Machine with Robotic Workstation
Intelligent Electric Press Brake with Robotic Integration for Modern Sheet Metal Production
In 2026, a fully automated sheet metal bending system was installed in Mažeikiai, Lithuania, based on a 4000 mm, 100-ton Full-Electric CNC Press Brake combined with an integrated robotic bending cell. The project was focused on increasing production efficiency, ensuring stable bending accuracy, and implementing energy-efficient metal processing technologies suitable for Industry 4.0 environments.
Electric Servo-Driven Technology for Maximum Precision
The press brake operates on advanced electric servo technology, eliminating hydraulic components and ensuring extremely accurate ram positioning. This solution provides high repeatability of bending angles, stable performance during continuous production, lower energy consumption compared to hydraulic systems, reduced mechanical wear, and clean operation without oil-based systems. The 4000 mm bending length allows processing of long sheet metal parts, while the 100T pressing capacity supports a wide range of industrial applications.
8+1 Axis CNC Configuration for Complex Geometry
The machine is equipped with a programmable 8+1 axis control system (Y1, Y2, Z1, Z2, X, R, S1, S2) designed for demanding bending tasks. Independent Y1/Y2 control guarantees parallelism and precise angle formation. Z1/Z2 enable flexible positioning of backgauge fingers across the working width. The X axis controls material depth positioning, while the R axis adjusts vertical movement. Additional S1/S2 axes provide extended capabilities for special bending sequences and complex parts. The additional axis supports crowning compensation or auxiliary automation modules, ensuring consistent results even when working with longer sheets.
Robotic Bending Cell for Automated Workflow
The automated robotic workstation transforms the press brake into a complete bending cell. The industrial robot manages loading, positioning, rotation, and unloading of components, fully synchronized with the CNC system. This automation significantly increases productivity, reduces dependency on manual labor, improves operational safety, and ensures consistent quality in serial production. The system is optimized for medium and high-volume manufacturing where repeatability and cycle time are critical factors.
Advanced CNC Control and Digital Integration
The bending solution features an intelligent CNC control unit with 3D simulation, automatic bend sequence generation, real-time interference detection, and CAD/CAM compatibility. These digital tools reduce programming time, optimize production planning, and help minimize material waste. Offline programming capabilities allow preparation of bending programs without interrupting ongoing production.
Energy Optimization and Lower Operating Costs
Since the electric system consumes energy only during active movement, overall power usage is significantly reduced. The absence of hydraulic systems lowers service requirements and long-term maintenance costs, making the installation both economically efficient and environmentally responsible.
Industrial Applications
This 4000mm, 100T Full-Electric CNC Press Brake with Robotic Bending Cell is suitable for manufacturing electrical enclosures, industrial cabinets, HVAC components, machine frames, construction elements, and custom metal structures.
Automated Bending Technology for Sustainable Growth
The 2026 implementation in Mažeikiai demonstrates a strategic investment in high-precision electric press brake technology combined with robotic automation. The result is a compact, intelligent, and highly productive bending solution designed to meet the evolving requirements of modern metal fabrication industries.
