Accuform modular line consists of interchangeable components within the same size
Major components: turntable, straightener, feeder, 2 dimensional bender, optional accessories such as punching, chamfering, threading, drilling, piercing, marking, and many others
Each Accuform modular CNC wire bending machine can currently have up to 32 motion axes, depending on the machine configuration
Takes wire directly from coil, straightens it, bends it, and cuts it to create wire products designed with AIM’s exclusive software package
SmartEditor® provides flexibility and simplicity in setup; programming is quick and easy by entering lengths and angles of the product, viewing the design, editing if necessary, and beginning production
Technical Specifications
AIM uses the world’s preeminent servo system
Depending on machine size, feeding speeds may exceed 120 meters per minute (394 feet/minute) and bending speeds may exceed 1100 degrees per second
Smallest resolution of the wire feeder is 273 pulses per millimeter (6.93 pulses per thousandth of an inch)
Resolution of the bender is 1450 pulses per degree
Published accuracy of the servo controllers is ±1 pulse; length accuracy is ±0.1 millimeter (±0.004″); angle accuracy is ±0.05 degrees
Accuracy and repeatability of AIM machines are exceptional; wireforms produced will only be limited by the quality and consistency of the wire supplied
Parabolic and S-curve positioning profiles give smoother acceleration and deceleration, minimizing shape distortion while achieving higher speeds at minimum possible power usage
Exclusive AIM Ultra option can in most cases double or triple the production rates from the standard models and grants the AIM equipment the title of the highest working speeds in the market
Wire Feeder and Straightener
AIM “four wheel drive” wire feeders are capable of operating at lower pressure, which means no wire marking
Using V-groove rollers, you can run more than one wire diameter per groove; by using two V-grooves per roller, wire capacity doubles
Power transmission is through high torque, precision drive belts and in some cases, high precision planetary gearboxes; no adjustments needed
Accuform machines come with “true wide-range straighteners”
A two-plane straightener with V-groove double row ball bearing rollers is standard on all AIM single head machines
Each plane contains two different roller sizes on two different center distances from each other
For the lower half of the machine wire range, you would typically use only the smaller rollers; for the top half of the wire range only the larger rollers are used
This design allows easy and efficient adjustments and eliminates many difficulties for the lower or upper end of the wire range; it is like having two wire straighteners incorporated into one assembly
A quick release adjustor bar on each straightener minimizes changeover time
By using these preset adjustor straightener bars, changeover time can be as short as ten minutes, allowing for a quick and easy wire diameter change
Wire diameter change is even faster with the AIM optional automated indexing turret system (AITS), which can hold and index up to six straighteners
Cutting and Hydraulics
Dual acting hydraulic cutter for strong and fast cuts
All hydraulic cylinders installed in AIM machines are double acting, providing fast and powerful motion for extra heavy duties such as cutting of the wire
AIM machines incorporate simple design and easy access plus world wide available parts
Simplicity, robustness, functionality and speed are AIM’s basic engineering principles
Easy tool changeover makes setup quick and efficient
Clear drawings are available upon request so that AIM customers can easily manufacture their own tools such as cutters, rollers, bending pins and all consumables
AIM machines have an excellent reputation of customer support and spare parts delivery
Construction and Durability
AIM uses robust engineering for long life and low maintenance
Using enclosed type brushless servomotors along with highest precision planetary gearboxes provides the best machine operation
All critical components have over-temperature, over-current, and over-voltage protection installed
All bearings used are oversized and double-sealed for longer life expectancy and lower maintenance
The design of the Accuform machines provides for maximum safety standards and life expectancy factors
All Accuform machines come backed by a two-year parts and labor limited warranty, the most comprehensive in the industry; excluded are wear parts that “touch” the wire (such as cutters, rollers, etc.), although all of these wear parts are made from the hardest tool steels and heat-treated to Rockwell scale 55°-65° degrees
Parts purchased from other manufacturers carry their own OEM warranty; for example, the precision gearboxes made by Alpha®, the world’s largest high-precision gearbox manufacturer, have a 5-year warranty
AIM always installs the best quality parts available and never sacrifices quality for price
Even after the warranty expires and within common sense rules, AIM provides technical support free of charge to the original owner
