Crono TASK 84 Automation systems

Crono Project Overview: The Crouo project systems from the synthesis and optimization of all necessary devices for automating a bending press machine. Crouo is a COMPLETE CNC solution for the direct control of both synchronized and non-synchronized hydraulic axes, as well as mechanical axes for backgauges motion.

Key Features:

Ideal Solution: It represents the ideal solution to reduce costs while maintaining complete automation.

Enhanced Performance: Crouo enhances bending performance and precision through advanced functions that consider machine and tool geometry.

Compatibility: Crouo can work in angular mode even on traditional RG presses, automatically calculating tool penetration and part development.
