New Tool Support: Maximum ergonomics for machine operators

We are setting new standards in ergonomics and work facilitation with the introduction of the new Tool Support.

This optional system, available for both the RAS XLTbend and RAS MEGAbend machines, significantly simplifies the handling of upper beam tools used in the production of large box heights.

The Tool Support allows for the effortless handling of upper beam tools up to 300 mm (XLTbend) and 400 mm (MEGAbend), designed to accommodate large box heights. Even at this “box height”, RAS tools of this type still allow exceptional sheet thicknesses and are dimensioned accordingly.

This system enables tools to be moved to the desired position or stored in the machine’s integrated tool magazine not only ergonomically, but also nearly "weight-neutrally."

Ergonomics at the forefront:

The Tool Support represents a significant advancement in workplace ergonomics. It allows operators to move large and heavy tools without physical effort. By minimizing the required effort, the operator's workload is significantly reduced, enhancing overall comfort. In addition, this reduces fatigue and importantly lowers the risk of injury from repetitive heavy lifting.

With the Tool Support, RAS Reinhardt Maschinenbau GmbH provides a solution that promotes both healthier working conditions and greater efficiency, leading to improved productivity and enhanced well-being.
