CNC Horizontal rebar Bending Center LYWQ-50 LYWQ-50 Supports High-Precision Steel Fabrication in Industrial Facilities

When industrial facilities deal with heavy-gauge metal fabrication daily, the margin for error is essentially zero. The CNC Horizontal Bending Center LYWQ-50, developed by Shandong Zhongji Luyuan Machinery Co., Ltd., directly addresses this reality. Built around a 500kN hydraulic system and a closed-loop horizontal frame, the LYWQ-50 processes copper and aluminum busbars up to 20mm thick with a bending angle accuracy of ±0.3°. Its horizontal worktable design eliminates gravitational sagging in long workpieces—a persistent problem in vertical bending machines—making it a dependable choice for high-volume, high-precision steel and busbar fabrication operations.

Understanding the CNC Horizontal Bending Center LYWQ-50

What It Is and How It Works

The LYWQ-50 has a horizontal closed-loop frame structure, which makes it more rigid than regular C-frame machines. The bending is controlled by a 500kN hydraulic system, and the whole process is run by an industrial-grade PLC controller. Since the piece stays flat on the worktable during the cycle, long busbars don't get bent by gravity, which is a common cause of angular error in vertical configurations.

Core Technical Specifications

The machine can handle pieces up to 200 mm wide and 20 mm thick. For T2 copper, the highest level of accuracy is reached at 15 mm thickness. The servo-controlled backgauge can place things with an accuracy of ±0.1mm. Heat-treated Cr12MoV metal dies have a smooth surface that meets international standards for electrical conductivity and don't break down easily. Operators can run complicated bend sequences without having to manually change settings between steps thanks to multi-step program storage.

Control System and Connectivity

The LYWQ-50 has a high-resolution touchscreen interface and a bending CAD/CAM module built in. For multi-bend sequences, operators can either directly enter coordinates or import DXF files. The machine has an RJ45 Ethernet port and is compatible with Modbus TCP/IP, which lets it be monitored from afar and connect to Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). This makes the LYWQ-50 a good fit for current production settings that use computers.

Advantages of Using the LYWQ-50 in High-Precision Steel Fabrication

When a company switches from manual or semi-automated bending to a CNC horizontal bending machine like the LYWQ-50, they usually notice improvements in the consistency of their output and the efficiency of their labor. The machine's automatic springback compensation function, which gets material values from a library that has already been set, gets rid of one of the busbar fabrication tasks that takes the most time to do by hand.

Here are the main ways this machine helps with production:

• Angle repeatability verified over 500 consecutive cycles: Laser protractor calibration during quality control confirms that bending error stays within ±0.5° across extended production runs, which directly reduces rework rates and material waste on high-value copper and aluminum stock.
• Automatic springback compensation: The CNC controller adjusts the over-bending angle based on the material type selected by the operator. This eliminates trial-and-error bending, cuts setup time, and protects expensive busbar material from unnecessary stress cycles.
• Reduced operator dependency: Because the system stores multi-step programs and applies automatic adjustments, less experienced operators can produce consistent results, which lowers training overhead and reduces reliance on specialized technicians.

Two problems that keep coming up in the process of making industrial busbars are high material waste from mistakes in the springback formulas and slow manual adjustment steps. The CNC Horizontal Bending Center LYWQ-50 directly addresses these problems. When purchasing managers look at the total cost of ownership of a piece of equipment, these factors translate into a measurable return on investment over the course of its useful life.

Comparing the LYWQ-50 with Other CNC Bending Centers

LYWQ-50 vs. LYWQ-40

The LYWQ-40 can handle materials with a lighter gauge and less pressure. The LYWQ-50 can bend up to 500kN and has a Modbus TCP/IP interface that the earlier model didn't have. The LYWQ-50 is better for places that process a lot of busbars that are thicker than 12 mm because it doesn't have the same capacity limit as the LYWQ-40 when working with bigger stock.

Horizontal vs. Vertical Bending Machines

The person operating a vertical bending machine has to hold up long pieces of work against the pull of gravity during the bending cycle. This causes mistakes in bending that are especially bad for busbars longer than 800 mm. The LYWQ-50's horizontal table gets rid of this variable completely, making angles that are the same no matter how long the workpiece is. This is a clear structural advantage for switchgear and power distribution applications.

Lead times depend on the configuration, but the company can handle both standard and custom orders within agreed project schedules thanks to its 50 million yuan registered capital and dedicated manufacturing facility.

Warrant                                                                                                            comes with a warranty and access to Zhongji Luyuan's service team after the sale. Support includes help with installation, training for operators, and fixing problems from afar. It is clear when to do maintenance on a hydraulic system: the filter should be checked every six months during standard 8-hour shifts, and the oil should be replaced after 2,000 hours of use. This planned maintenance timeline cuts down on unplanned downtime and makes planning for the building easier.

Quality Assurance Standards

The LYWQ-50 is made in accordance with CE and ISO 9001 quality standards. Each unit goes through a full electrical safety test on the CNC cabinet, a 500-cycle angle accuracy calibration test, and a die alignment check. The tests last for 24 hours. These rules make sure that the machine works reliably in production settings that are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Ensuring Optimal Performance and Longevity of Your LYWQ-50

Preventive Maintenance Schedule

Every six months, the hydraulic oil filter needs to be checked. Every 2,000 hours of use, the oil needs to be completely changed to keep the valve response speed within the acceptable range. At every scheduled maintenance period, die wear should be checked, and if the surface starts to wear down, the Cr12MoV alloy dies should be replaced before it affects the quality of the finish on the workpiece.

Operator Training and Safety

Zhongji Luyuan offers training guides, workshops that happen on-site, and tools for remote help. Operators must follow the written instructions for starting up and stopping the machine, and safety guards must stay in place during all rounds of bending. Testing the shielding and grounding of the CNC machine on a regular basis is important to keep electromagnetic radiation from happening in industrial settings.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Before starting production again, the servo motor tuning should be checked if the backgauge setting is off by more than 0.1 mm. Angle differences within a batch are usually caused by changes in hydraulic pressure. The factory-level 24-hour stability test is meant to stop these changes before they happen. When adjustments need to be made in the field, Zhongji Luyuan's technical support team can be reached for remote diagnostics.

FAQ

How does the LYWQ-50 handle springback from different materials?

A library of material coefficients is kept by the device. The user chooses the type of material, and the CNC processor figures out the necessary over-bend angle to account for springback on its own. This gets rid of the need to make adjustments by hand and by trial and error.

What is the maximum thickness the machine processes accurately?

Even though the LYWQ-50 can measure up to 20mm, it stays as accurate as ±0.3° at 15mm for T2 copper. If the metal is thicker, the processing settings may need to be changed.

Does the LYWQ-50 support complex multi-bend shapes?

Yes. The built-in CAD/CAM interface can be used to enter coordinates directly or import DXF files. It can handle complex sequences like Z-bends and U-shapes that are common in high-voltage switchgear cabinets.
