Roundo CNC Systems

ROUNDO CNC Systems Unlimited Possibilities
Technology at its Best
ROUNDO CNC2 runs under a Microsoft Windows 32 bit Operating system installed on an lndustrial PC terminal complete with keyboard and TFT display, placed on the machine's control console. The PC communicates with the ROUNDO Master Control
Unit, 2 nd generation through a CAN field bus system, which ensures high speed transfer rates and reliability. All CNC bending programs as well as language support and machine dependant constants are stored in databases on the hard disk. Therefore there are no practical limits for the number of part programs that can be stored. For loading data or for backup purposes, you may use a diskette, the built in unit or an optional ZIP drive. To be able to prepare bending programs in advance, the software can also be installed on a desktop computer. When completed, just download the program to the machine via diskette, CD, your local network or lnternet.
The machine may run a program at the same time as the database is in use by another PC, achieving true online programming, which increases the available production time, and minimizes preparation and setup time.
True CNC
The ROUNDO system controls speed, ramps and pressures for highest precision and may also control roll parallel and tilting on plate bending machines. The system is not based on a PLC with all its limitations. lnstead, the unique hardware uses the latest integrated circuit technology and is designed specifically for ROUNDO bending machines to meet the toughest demands of our customers.
Total ControI
The ROUNDO system can, in its basic version, control up to 12 axes. Optionally two ormore of these axes can be positioned simultaneously, providing an interpolation function for smooth transitions when bending complex shapes with multiple radio. The CNC may also control side functions on and around the machine, such as
Plate Bending Machines Drop end, balancing and erection of the top roll, support rolls under the lower roll, side support, top support, material in and out feeding systems, etc.
Section Bending Machines Guide rolls, pushing and pulling roll unit, mandrel and turning unit, calibration and pitch setting devices, etc.

Precision
At ROUNDO we never compromise the mechanical accuracy or precision of our machines, or our CNC system. We use only high precision digital encoders for the bending rolls instead of analogue transducers. This unwavering attention to quality and detail, gives you the ultimate combination for quality production.

User friendly HMI Human Machine lnterface
Our CNC equipped machines aгe easy to operate and do not require any previous CNC experience. The operator can choose from a large number of languages for the CNC control. The positions of the axes and other important information are presented comprehensively and clearly on the large TFT display. The terminal, in combination with the practical stepless joystick controls, gives the operator the best possìbilities to operate the machine both manually and in CNC mode.
Bending Wizards for easy Programming
The ROUNDO features highly advanced Bending Wizards to simplify the creation of a CNC program. Enter the object data and the CNC will automatically create a complete bending program. A unique feature is that the Wizard is active in real time and always calculates the positions for each step based on the present information. Adjustments made will be saved and will take effect immediately. Drill down Functionality for advanced Programming. For the experienced users, the CNC system offers the possibilíty to break down the programs into pieces for absolute control of each step of the program. Graphical Program Simulation
After completing a new bending program, the operator may simulate the bending result with all steps shown on the display, in order to visualize the theoretical shape of the object for each step. Programming errors will thus be exposed and eliminated prior to the first program run with material. Naturally, each step in the program is graphically visualized on the screen in real time during a CNC program run.
Teach in Feature
ROUNDO supports production of unusual and multiple radil parts using our Teach in feature. This allows the operator to move all axes in any way desired, and each new position will automatically be stored into the CNC program.
Flying Production
Many objects require continuous bending without stops or pauses between the different radil, in order to avoid kinks or marks on the finished part. The ROUNDO gives you the possibility to perform flying production, including simultaneous adjustment of bending rolls, guide rolls, material supports or whichever other optional equipment you have installed on the machine.

The First with a CNC System
In 1985, ROUNDO was the first to develop CNC controls specifically adapted to bending machines. Since then, we have steadily enhanced and expanded the capabilities of our systems, allowing us to maintain our position as the world leader in this area as well. Up to now, we have delivered more than 500 true CNC controls, on all types of machines, giving us experience and know how that all future customers will benefit from. Always ahead of the competition. The ROUNDO software and control system were designed from the ground up specifically to operate ROUNDO bending machines. We did not attempt to adapt general purpose software and off the shelf PLC controls for this purpose. Software is written in house by ROUNDO engineers who understand the complexities of both bending and machine control, based on having delivered over 15 000 bending machines around the world. No other competitive machine offers the combination of true PC based CNC control using only the highest quality digital components and software designed by experts in the field. That is what makes ROUNDO the world leader in bending machines.
CNC for the Future is developed and designed to meet customer needs today as well as tomorrow, and we will continue our efforts to maintain and enhance our position as the world leader. For you as a customer, it is essential to know that support and service are always available
whenever needed. Future software upgrades may be distributed via the lnternet, as well as support and on line trouble shooting.
ROUNDO is your key to successful production of rolled parts for years and years!
