Hydraulic Press Brake

Strippit/LVDservo-controlled press brakes are available in capacities from 9 to 2,000 tons with working lengths from 5 to 50 ft. The 150-ton 8-axis model with working length of 10 ft was exhibited at Fabtech 99.

The PPEB series features the CADMAN control, a powerful PC-based control complete with Windows 95 and the CADMAN B programming software.

The CADMAN control creates and stores interactive databases for bend allowance, angle corrections and spring-back. These user-generated databases created by actual bending results are searched and applied each time a part program is generated. This automatic optimization of the part program eliminates trial bending and reduces the time required to produce a quality part. CADMAN B is standard in the machine control and is available as an off-line programming system.

The PPEB series of press brakes can be equipped with the patented Easy Form system that allows for exact measurement of the angle during the bending process. Easy Form measures the bend angle "in process." It then positions the ram of the press brake to give the desired bend angle, rather than relying on a calculated depth value. Changes in material characteristics no longer influence the bending results. Easy Form provides constant bend angles from the very first bend, avoiding trial-and-error bending.
