Robobend - AI robotic sheet metal bending for manufacturing industries.
Robobend is an intelligent robotic bending system that fully automates sheet metal bending. Unlike traditional robotic bending, which requires days of programming, Robobend's proprietary block-based language and automated path-generation engine allow users to configure new parts in minutes. Its software controls both the robot and the bending machine, ensuring time-synchronized motion and safety. Through sensor-based feedback, Robobend maintains consistent accuracy and enables 24/7 autonomous operation. The system offers plug-and-play integration with major robots (Yaskawa, ABB, Fanuc) and press-brake controllers, making it a production-ready automation platform already deployed at companies like Bluestar, Vertiv, and Samarth Aircon.
