RAS UpDownCenter-2 78.43-2: Semi-Automatic Folding Center


RAS UpDownCenter-2 is a semi-automatic folding center for panels and boxes, engineered for high precision, fast changeover, and great part variety. The machine supports Up/Down folding, auto-programming, and automatic blank positioning. It is suitable for thin and medium gauge sheet metal. It is particularly valuable in the production of panels, electrical cabinets, housings, facades, etc., where precision, radii, cutouts, or box constructions are required.

Features and Advantages  
  • Up/Down Folding: Allows folding both downwards and upwards, significantly simplifying the processing of complex geometries, facades, function boxes, without the need to flip the part manually.

  • Automatic Folding Sequences: The machine can automatically program the sequence of folds, often using an imported STEP file; minimal operator intervention is required.

  • Automatic Tool Changer (ATC): Allows tools to be changed quickly, reducing setup time (approximately seconds).

  • Blank Positioning System: Suction plates (Saugerplatten) automatically position the part before folding.

  • Large Box Height: Capable of folding four-sided boxes up to high, allowing for tall flanges or box constructions.

  • High Dimensional and Angular Accuracy: A result of automatic positioning, stable construction, and high-precision control.

  • "One-Click" Programming: Automatic creation of the folding program from a CAD/STEP file.

  • Dual-Side Operation: Ability to operate from the gauging system side or the folding beam side for convenient unloading or working with large flanges.

  • Support for Complex Features: Tools allow working with parts that have cutouts, holes, embossed features, and radii.

  • Roto-Foot Corner Tools: Specialized rotating tools allow folding corners when the parts have lateral flanges that would interfere with standard tools.

  • Segmented Tools: Segmented tooling in both the upper beam and the folding beam allows adaptation to part requirements, such as holes, cutouts, or protrusions.

  • PosLift System: Automatic height adjustment of parts/blanks before folding.

  • Safety: Includes light curtains on both sides of operation, LED access/status indicators, and protective doors/glass elements that automatically close or lock during tool change or the automatic cycle.

Standard Equipment / Core Functions  
  • Automatic Tool Changer (ATC): For both the upper beam and the folding beam.

  • Up/Down Folding: Capability to fold in both directions.

  • Automatic "One-Click" Programming: Program generation from STEP or other CAD files.

  • PosLift System: For part positioning.

  • Complete Set of Main Tools: Segmented upper tools, folding beams, and roto-foot corner tools.

  • Vacuum Suction Plates: For fixing or positioning small or complex-shaped parts.

  • Dual-Side Operation: Operation from the gauging system side and the folding beam side for convenient unloading.

  • Support for Large Box Parts: Up to height and lengths up to depending on the modification.

Options / Integration Capabilities  
  • Gauging System Extensions: Options include "Rectangular gauge" or "J-Gauge" (with extension) variants for different part sizes.

  • Additional Small Part Supports: Suction cups for small parts, tables with ball casters, or support plates.

  • Upper Beam Tool Variants: Available in various heights: for large boxes or parts with tall flanges.

  • Roto-Foot Corner Tool: Specialized corner tools for parts with lateral flanges.

  • UpDownTools: Tools that can be programmed to three different working heights to execute protrusions, window folds, and flanges.

  • Safety Systems: Lamellas / light curtains / LED indicators / protective doors, etc., optionally or in different configurations.
