MULCAHY PROVIDES END TO
END PROCESSING SOLUTION
With the addition of
two new Trumpf
TruBend 5170s
to its bending
operation, Mulcahy Engineering can
provide customers with a complete
end-to-end processing solution.
“The technology associated with
the new machines allow us to take
the customer’s model and carry
it right to the finished folded part
with complete accuracy, using
innovation such as TechZone bend
offline programming software,” says
managing director Kayne Mulcahy.
The software takes the customer’s
model for a product or component
and generates a press programme
for it at the order processing stage.
“This minimises the risk of human
error and vastly improves process
efficiency,” says Kayne.
Once at the machine, the operator
refers to an augmented reality view
of the part they’re folding on-screen
to ensure everything is aligned and
folded the correct way.

A NEW ANGLE ON
ACCURACY AND EFFICIENCY
Our two new bending machines take
accuracy to a whole new level.
Innovative features include laser angle
measuring and an on-screen augmented
reality view for correct part placement.
So even when your model features the
most complex geometry, we can make it
real. With 100% accuracy.
Let’s talk about how our accurate and
efficient end to end processing can work
for you.

bending (ACB) device measures the
folded angle in real time, adjusting
the pressing force to ensure 100%
accuracy of the fold, every time.
Additional Industry 4.0 initiatives
allow real time monitoring of press
performance through machine data
analytics (MDA). And thanks to the
6-axis back gauge, products with
even asymmetrical geometry can
be folded with 100% accuracy.
“We’ve always been committed
to enabling our customers to be
innovative,” Kayne says.
Investing in not one, but two new
Trumpf TruBend 5170s is a further
demonstration of this commitment.
“The accuracy achieved through
the new technology means faster
speed of delivery and greater
flexibility, all of which adds up
to greater efficiency for our
customers.”
Mulcahy Engineering operates six
modern press brake machines at its
Auckland premises, with up to 230
tonne capacity and 4.25m press
length.
