SEVEN CNC system

SevenX

Unmatched precision, user friendliness, and versatility.

SEVEN is SweBend’s CNC control for bending machines. A graphical touchscreen interface with templates gets operators running quickly, and the same control fits rolling machines of different brands and types, including older ones.

SEVEN CNC

Precision bending, simplified

Material size, thickness, mechanical properties, spring back and diameter change the result of every bending job.

SEVEN handles these variations in the control and gives the operator complete control over the rolling process. SweBend matches the number of CNC-controlled axes to your bending needs.

The graphical interface comes with templates that get operators into production quickly. SEVEN also communicates with production robots and systems, and you can write your own sequences with logic based on input and output data from your machines. See how plate rolling and section bending work.

Functions

What SEVEN does on the shop floor

IRMA, 4S, ADAM and the simulator are the four tools built into SEVEN.

IRMA

Precision bending assistant

IRMA is a radius adjustment tool. It corrects material deviations automatically and stores the adjustments for consistent batches, which improves precision and reduces scrap. One operator can manage multiple machines.

4S

Short start and stop · three roll machines only

4S reduces the flat ends in automatic mode with a short start and stop. It can save as much as 40% of the scrap compared with conventional automatic bending methods.

ADAM

Automated design assistant manager

ADAM calculates, plans and processes any shape you design. It handles multiple shapes, variations and materials in sequence with minimal setup time.

Simulations

Precise product planning

The SEVEN simulator calculates cycle times and runs programs in your chosen time scale. It gives you key data for workshop planning and time estimates as batch sizes grow.

Platform

Built on standard industrial parts

SEVEN uses standardised components from large, well-known manufacturers, which keeps spare parts available for years.

Hardware
Reliable components from Beckhoff of Germany, chosen for long-term stability and a worldwide presence.
Interface
The same graphical interface on every machine type shortens the learning curve for new operators.
Online support
TeamViewer support for programming and troubleshooting when the machine is connected to the Internet. Our support team can monitor the machine and run online training.
Integration
Auxiliary equipment such as robots and material handling systems can be connected to the control.
Customising
Tailor-made programs for any product, I/O checks and jumps. Ask us to customise SEVEN for your machine.

Popular additions

Add functions as your work changes

SweBend keeps adding functions and adaptations to SEVEN. Ask us for the latest additions.

CNC for support rolls and pinching roll
Supports the material automatically during rolling to minimise deformation and save time. A movable lower pinching roll speeds up loading and unloading, and automatic pressure control improves precision.
CNC for ejection device
Ejects the finished material automatically, which removes the need for an overhead crane. An outfeed system can be added to raise production speed further.
Run subprograms
Runs programs you have created yourself from within another program. They run as part of the main program, with the correct toolset and settings.
Interpolation
Moves side rolls and rotation at the same time. Add extra axes to the list of steps and the machine calculates their speed to match the other axes.
Additional functions
Many more functions are available. Ask us to customise SEVEN so it matches your requirements.

Retrofit

From analog to CNC in three days

The mechanics of a machine often outlast its electrics many times over.

SEVEN retrofits onto older machines, and you can expand it to integrate almost anything into the control of the machine. It also controls SweBend plate rolls and section benders, and our overhaul and upgrade service covers older machines.

SweBend specialises in integrated solutions for our customers’ processes. You are the final voice, so propose any feature you want and we will develop it.

A typical three day conversion

1
Day one

We test and verify the machine’s functions and read out data from the old system where possible. The existing electrical cabinet is rebuilt and the control panel is swapped for the new one.

2
Day two

We tune the software for the best speed and accuracy from the machine. Meanwhile your operators are trained in programming it.

3
Day three

Training is completed and we help the operators write some of the old programs into SEVEN.

Peter Nilsson, CEO of SweBend

An old CNC is not equipped to handle today’s demands, both in production rate and precision. We therefore created a graphic CNC system that can be retrofitted onto old machines. It’s easy to use and creates professional results.

Why upgrade

Seven reasons to upgrade to SEVEN

SEVEN replaces the control of a rolling machine and leaves the mechanics in place.

01 Futureproof
Standardised components from large, well-known manufacturers keep spare parts available. Beckhoff of Germany supplies a stable hardware platform for many years to come.
02 Adaptable
A workshop often runs several brands and types of rolling machine. SEVEN fits them all and gives operators the same interface on each, which also shortens the learning curve for new operators.
03 Expandable
A new product may need a different support or tooling, which should not require a new machine. SEVEN adapts to almost any accessory and integrates it for accurate, repeatable operation.
04 User friendly
SweBend has decades of experience training operators in the safe use of CNC systems. Operators are often running production after less than one day of training.
05 Online
SEVEN comes with online support through TeamViewer when the machine is connected to the Internet. Our support team can monitor the machine, share the operator’s screen and perform online training.
06 Faster
Better positioning accuracy and repeatability raise production rates and quality.
07 Quick to fit
Standard components and decades of experience, with an upgrade completed in as little as 2-3 days including tuning and training. You are back in production with minimal disruption.

Accessory
