Fiessler ’ s new new AKAS ® 3P-CNC press brake safety system .
AKAS ® transmitter and AKAS ® receiver . This allows the adjustment to be carried out conveniently from the CNC control or a HMI . Alternatively , the setting can still be started with the existing key switch , as before .
Fintek Industry Company Limited provides sheet metal machines , such as hydraulic press brakes , shearing , folding , rolling machines etc . With over 30 years of experience in the manufacture of machines , it has become one of the largest companies in the machine tool industry in Taiwan . Gabella Macchine is an Italian manufacturer of sheet metal working machines with 60 years of experience in the production of cut-to-length lines , slitting lines , multi-blanking lines , press brakes and folders .
Italian specialist Gasparini offers a press brake range that includes the entry-level X-Press Easy and the X-press ECO energysaving system that increases speed and lowers energy consumption using an inverter motor drive . It is available as an option for the X-Press product line . The ECO inverter motor drive is leaner and greener , delivering quiet operation and faster cycle times . The 80-ton , two-metre X-Press Next 80 / 2000 4.0 press brake is equipped with a two-axis back gauge ( X-R ) for more stable support of the workpieces .
Gasparini has also brought out AIC AirSlide pneumatic tool adapters , a barcode reader , wireless pedal and the X-Press SuperCustom Edition , a new line dedicated to deep-box bending . The company has also developed its GPS4 angle measurement system for press brakes . Complex shapes , with Z-bends or with narrow flanges , can be bent and set-up times reduced . Agile is a new automatic tool changer for press brakes of up to 640 tons x 8 metres to facilitate bending with frequent tooling , complex set-ups and expensive , heavy tools . It handles both punches and tool adapters , enabling boxes that are 290mm tall to be bent , even by large press brakes .
At EuroBLECH 2018 , HACO exhibited its re-designed press brake programme and guillotine shears . Its latest press brake , the PressMaster , features high positioning speeds , energy-saving functions , advanced
safety optics and user-friendly bending simulation software on the Multi-Touch controller . Its new SynchroMaster pressbrake was also be on display . HACO ’ s new FastBEND-2D MT Premium enables rapid data processing and calculation of bending programs for hydraulic CNC press brakes . HACO ’ s bending portfolio includes press brakes with capacities ranging from 40 to 2,000 tons and working lengths from 1.6 to 10m .
French manufacturer , Jean Perrot , released a new ‘ JEAN PERROT ROBOTICS by CLEIA ’ brand .
Following a Bending 4.0 Open Day and the inauguration of the E COBOT BEND ( collaborative bending cell ) in France , Jean Perrot ’ s system encompasses a robotic bending solution to improve material handling , in-process material flows and machine loading / unloading . Using vision systems and pattern recognition , the system is designed as an ‘ all-in-one ’ solution . Previous innovations from the French manufacturer include the Maneo Premium LCS press brake , the Tool Box and dynamic hydraulic crowning for the press brake . New 2018 versions of the E FOLLOW Tool and the Tool Box are now available , along with a new customised version of its HMI ( Human Machine Interface ) and a new barcode management system .
LVD ’ s Ulti-Form .
LVD has introduced Ulti-Form , a new robotic bending system featuring an automated tool-changing press brake designed to keep bending productivity high and handling small batches and long production runs with low changeover time .
“ Ulti-Form features a 135-ton press brake designed using the ToolCell platform , our automated tool-changing press brake , integrated with an industrial robot . The press brake houses a built-in tooling warehouse and uses a gripper mechanism in the machine ’ s back gauge fingers for quick and efficient tool change ,” LVD told ISMR .
LVD ’ s Industry 4.0-ready laser cutting , bending , punching and software technology is designed for an easy and smooth transformation to a ‘ more competitive ’ workshop . It also offers the ToolCell XT automated tool-changing press brake , with extended tool storage capacity , and Dyna-Cell automated electric press brake for high-speed bending of small to medium-sized parts .
FOCUS ON BENDING
“ Our Easy-Form 80 / 25 press brake is equipped with the Easy-Form ® Laser inprocess angle monitoring and correction system . The press brake adapts in real-time the ram position to ensure the desired angle from the first bending operation . The bending process is not interrupted and no production time is lost ,” the company told ISMR .
Synchro-Form is LVD ’ s next leap in adaptive bending technology and a new solution for large-profile bending . The company also produces the Dyna-Press electric press brake , Easy-Form ® series press brake and PPED Series hydraulic press brakes , featuring a multi-axis back gauge , CNC V-axis crowning system and a 15 ” version of LVD ’ s TOUCH-B graphical icon-driven CNC controller .
Mate bending tools .
Mate Precision Technologies ’ CleanBend™ forming technology for press brakes is designed for high-quality sheet metal forming . Using rotating supports , the process mimics a folding operation with minimal to no marking of the sheet metal . Its Ultraform PBT™ press brake forming adapter combines Mate ’ s Ultraform ® thick turret forming system with its new universal pressbrake forming holder .
Mate ’ s press brake tooling also includes a full array of European Precision and WILA TRUMPF-style punches , dies , standard specials , “ Bevel Tang Style ” press brake tooling , specials and accessories , all available in segmented , full-length and half-length sizes .
Murata Machinery ( Muratec ) was established in 1935 . In 1989 , Muratec merged with Wiedemann . It exhibited its BB6020 ball screw press brake with operator support system , “ VIDERE ”, at the EuroBLECH 2016 exhibition .
Turkish manufacturer , MVD Makina Saniya AS , has manufactured press brakes , shears , punch machines and laser machines since 1950 . The company has showcased new features and options on its iBend press brakes . Its iBend C series of press brakes can configure up to a maximum of 12 axes , has large throat depth and stroke , a heightadjustable control panel and automatic heightadjusted front support system .
Olma Srl ’ s Allbend is a flexible bending centre with an innovative sheet metal bending method inspired by programming simplicity , ease of operation , reduced energy
