Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the BIMERIC BM and the BIMERIC Modular?
The BIMERIC Modular is the current, standardised design of the platform: pre-assembled feeding (EM-R), stamping (PM400, 400 kN) and forming (BM-L250) modules are designed for 80 mm strip, the base extends up to 6,000 mm and linear tools are shared with the Modular Series. The BIMERIC BM brochure dated 05/17 describes 150–300 kN NC eccentric presses, an optional SP 500 servo press and a base of up to 4,500 mm.
How do I choose between the BIMERIC and the GRM-NC?
The manufacturer positions the GRM-NC for individual stamped and formed parts and the BIMERIC Modular for jobs that add processes such as welding, thread cutting or screw insertion, and assembly, to forming. Linear tools built to the same design guideline can be moved between the two machines.
How long does a variant or product change take?
For a product change usually only the active tool parts are exchanged and the programmed data are recalled from the control. In the manufacturer's applications, a tool change on the BM 3000 takes within half an hour, and set-up on the BM 1500 hose-clamp line and the BM 4500 hydraulic-connector line takes under 30 minutes.
