LVD North America, located in Akron, NY, is part of LVD Group, a global designer and manufacturer of sheet metal fabrication machinery, automation, and software. Established in 1952, LVD provides integrated metalworking technologies designed to help manufacturers improve productivity, precision, flexibility, automation, and overall production flow.

LVD's core technologies include fiber laser cutting machines, press brakes, robotic and automated bending systems, panel benders, punch presses, punch-laser combination machines, shearing machines, automation systems, tooling, and CADMAN® software for integrated sheet metal manufacturing.

Laser cutting solutions support manufacturers requiring high-speed, high-precision sheet metal processing. LVD offers fiber laser systems across multiple configurations and levels of automation, allowing manufacturers to select equipment around material type, sheet size, thickness, production volume, and automation requirements.

Press brake and bending capabilities range from compact electric-drive machines to hydraulic press brakes, automatic tool-changing systems, robotic bending cells, cobot bending systems, and custom heavy-duty/XXL press brakes. Applications include general-purpose sheet metal forming, high-mix/low-volume production, complex components, automated production, and very large or heavy workpieces.

LVD's Easy-Form® Laser adaptive bending technology provides real-time angle monitoring and correction during the bending process. The system compensates for variations in sheet thickness, strain hardening, and grain direction to improve bend accuracy and reduce the need for manual corrections.

ToolCell press brakes integrate an automatic tool changer and tooling warehouse directly into the machine. Tool changes are performed automatically based on the programmed job, helping manufacturers reduce setup time and improve throughput in high-mix environments.

Robotic Bending Systems provide configurable automation for different part sizes, weights, production volumes, and handling requirements. LVD's CADMAN-SIM software can automatically generate bending programs, robot paths, gripper positioning, and part-handling movements offline, reducing or eliminating the need for manual robot teaching at the machine.

Punching capabilities include turret punch presses, single-head punch presses, servo-electric punching systems, punch-laser combination machines, and automated load/unload and material-handling solutions. These systems can support punching, forming, bending, tapping, marking, and other value-added sheet metal operations depending on configuration.

LVD also manufactures panel-bending and shearing equipment for manufacturers requiring automated folding, high-productivity panel production, precision sheet cutting, and other sheet metal processing capabilities.

A major differentiator is LVD's CADMAN® software suite, which integrates quoting, drawing import, programming, nesting, bending, laser cutting, punching, robotic automation, job management, production data, and ERP connectivity. CADMAN is designed to connect business systems, machines, operators, and production information to create an integrated Industry 4.0/Smart Factory environment.

CADMAN modules include CADMAN-B for bending, CADMAN-L for laser cutting, CADMAN-P for punching, CADMAN-SIM for robotic bending, CADMAN-SDI for CAD file import and cost-driver analysis, and CADMAN-JOB for Manufacturing Execution System (MES), job tracking, production management, and ERP integration.

LVD also supports manufacturers after equipment installation through local sales, application support, machine service, spare parts, software support, training, upgrades, and other customer-service resources.

LVD serves manufacturers across aerospace, defense, transportation, industrial and commercial machinery, construction equipment, agricultural equipment, appliances, electronics, food equipment, medical and scientific equipment, steel service centers, contract metal fabrication, and other sheet metal-intensive industries.
