Opera 16: the highly flexible and productive stirrup bender by Schnell
Today’s construction industry demands machines that are easy to use, highly productive and capable of adapting to different production needs.
Opera 16 fully meets these requirements: a stirrup bender and bar shaping machine from coil, designed for the production of stirrups and shaped wires with bends at both ends, processing wires up to Ø 16 mm (#5).
It combines maximum flexibility and high productivity in a compact layout, ensuring excellent performance across a wide range of production environments.
The ideal solution for those seeking efficiency, quality, and reliability in a single machine!
Why choose Opera 16?
• Versatility: Opera 16 allows the production of stirrups, shapes and straight bars of different forms and dimensions using wires up to Ø 16 mm, all with a single machine.
A single cost-effective investment that meets diverse production needs, replacing multiple machines with one versatile, multi-function solution.
• Easy to use: the Sapiens straightening system ensures high-quality results even with less experienced operators, reducing the need for highly specialized personnel.
• Reduced waste: the independent feeding of 1 or 2 wires for the production of shapes in even or odd quantities, ideal for residential constructions , allows quick adaptation to different production orders, drastically reducing material waste.
• High productivity: advanced unloading systems, such as C-LOOP and motorized carriages for collection and sorting, reduce manual operations and machine downtime, ensuring continuous workflow and higher productivity throughout the working shift.
• Advanced configurability: thanks to a wide range of available options, including laser scanners, automatic collecting carriages, and AIM/HS predictive pay-off systems, the machine can be customized according to production requirements and the available space in the plant.
• High-quality products: the bending tools specifically designed for Opera 16 guarantee high bending speed, outstanding precision, and consistent quality, even when processing small diameters.
The simplified tool change, which requires no additional equipment, minimizes downtime and further increase productivity.
Opera 16 is a powerful stirrup bender with a compact layout, designed to improve productivity and reduce processing times.
