Otto Bihler Maschinenfabrik is the world`s largest manufacturer of automatic punching and bending machines for metal-forming, and of CAD/CAM software for stamping and forming technology.

Bihler machine systems manufacture both radially and linearly, and key technologies such as welding, tapping, screw insertion, assembly, etc., are integrated in the fully automated work processes.

Bihler machine solutions are used for radial and/or linear production. Special machine series are available depending on the application and the requirements in question. All the machine systems have an open design and can be modified, extended and interconnected as required. The wide range of ancillary units available and Bihler's many years of know-how in the field of tooling development guarantee the indispensable qualities of flexibility and the capacity to innovate.

- For radial and linear processing concepts
- Integrated eccentric press unit next to working plate mounting unit
- Large mounting area for cutting tools
- Higher punching force and increased stroke
- Work-plate suitable for processing of bigger parts
- Huge middle-opening allowing various central mandrels
- Quick-change systems for all toolings
- NC-feedings for high feed lengths
- High-end-control with 15“-Touchscreen VariControl VC 1
- Integrated noise and operator protection included as standard equipment
- Stroke rate, continuously variable from app. 5 to max. 200 1/min.

Flexibility will be the keyword for the efficient production of small batches and component variants in the future. In the new BIMERIC BM punching, bending and assembly system electronic cams move the different units. Under the motto "Plug & Work", servo drives generate all the work cycles flexibly and independently of each other by means of a numerical control system. The advantages of numerical control over mechanical control lie not only in the economic production of large batches or in the flexibility of the software, but also in the automatic readjustment of units for enhanced quality assurance.

New applications demand new ideas. They demand machine concepts that can be flexibly adapted to new manufacturing strategies as applications expand and develop. For example, the combination of Bihler centers and Minster presses for high forming capacities unites all the capabilities of Bihler's multi-technology with the advantages of progressive press technology for the end-to-end manufacture of large parts. Bihler has created the optimum mechanical and control conditions necessary for such a venture.
