Press brakes were limited to making bends using one axis. They were more limited than modern machines that can program 12 or more movement axes. Modern press brakes have high precision and produce graphical representations to aid the operator. Setup time is significantly reduced with newer computers. They can quickly calculate the optimal settings according to materials, dimensions, and the desired result. These calculations were once done manually.
This options list could be almost endless, we will just list the major ones here, if you don’t see something you want, just ask us we probably have it. Since safety is of the utmost priority, at the top of our list of options is the AKAS-LC world class laser safety system, considered to be the best you can get for a press brake. Light curtain Sick C 4000 for combination machines. Additional axis up to 14. Extended travel back gauge to 39 inches with safety light curtain. Sheet follower with motorized height adjustment. Updated cnc controllers from Delem (DA69T) or Cybelec (10S,12S,15S, 3D with PC1200). Quick release clamping, hydraulic clamping, Wila or Wilson mechanical or hydraulic clamping, tooling options from the “who’s who” of press brake tooling. Bottom tool positioning systems, thickness measurement systems, offline software for V-Bend or Profile-W.
