Hit dimensional tolerances right from the very first part

All heaters have a number of imperfections and variations: dimensional tolerances, compaction inconsistencies, chemical composition variation, stretch, elasticity, and more. These can all affect bend quality. That’s why some bends may turn out vastly different from what’s expected in terms of quality, accuracy, and repeatability.

Traditionally, a bender operator needs real expertise to compensate for these variations.

At OIM, we’ve built our 75 years of bending know-how directly into the CNC of our benders. Now you can get perfect results regardless of the operator’s skill level.

Simply enter the standard bending data and the machine will automatically generate the part program, pulling from prior bending experience stored in its database, to make sure the very first part comes out right.

This capability eliminates the manual adjustments that were once indispensable for producing good finished parts.

The software that makes all the difference

The 3D graphic programming software developed by OIM lets you create and immediately run the machine program by simply entering the geometric data of the heating element.

To make programming even easier, you can simulate the part to ensure the best possible result with no risk of collisions.

Work where it suits you: program in the office or directly at the machine.

Minimum setup time and repeatable accuracy

All major machine movements are driven by electric servos. Bend positions, tooling information, and power parameters are all stored together in the part program. When a job is run again, you simply mount the tools and call up the program.

No further mechanical adjustments are needed.

This ensures fast setup and changeover, and delivers lot-to-lot repeatability.

It also eliminates the need for a dedicated bender setup specialist.

Low maintenance and high reliability

A simplified design has reduced the need for routine maintenance while delivering more consistent bending results. The practical benefit is straightforward: the machine is easier to maintain, safer to operate, and more reliable overall.
