Hi looking for some insight into what is hopefully a pretty straight forward question, but one i am struggling with.
We run medium size batches (approx 100 lengths a day) of bar and tube with minimum 4 band maximum 6 bends on each.
We use a digitally controlled draw bender, and we get a good quality of round bar in but we still experience a large variance in the bends that requires manual 'adjusting' before welding.
My question is; will buying a cnc machine solve this i.e. when a bend operation is performed is there feed back within the machine that checks/inspects this bend has been achieved to the correct radius?
or is it all purely down to the quality of bar purchased i.e. the better quality the more consistent and repeatable the process.
It is very difficult to get an honest answer to this and not a sales pitch!
