for ‘ intelligent ’). It offers higher speeds ( 87MHz motors ), an energy regeneration system and the latest software functionality . The modular structure means that we can also reduce the price point i . e . more value for less money . It is the culmination of 1.5 years of development work with our subsidiary in Eijsden .
We have combined our 90 years of experience with the latest technologies to make these machines even more energyefficient , modular and reliable . Key features include advanced drive technology and increased approach and pressing speeds . The press brake is available in several sizes : 170 ; 240 ; 320 ; 400 and 480 tonnes . Other options are possible since we are always open to meeting customer requirements with custom-made systems . The screen is also

easier to use and simpler to handle . I am delighted to confirm that we have just sold the first H-iBrake at this show ! We are also highlighting our in-house developed software platform , ASC-Control , for all our automated solutions as well as
EC3D functionality for direct import of 3D files and 3D programming at the press brake ( Ultra and Premium models ). ASC-Control means that our automated press brakes are more responsive and quicker ; operators can also see machine updates on-screen such as tooling , status etc . Together with AutoPOL and RoboBend ( offline software ),

Launch of new H-iBrake press brake series
With its new and innovative H-iBrake press brake series , SafanDarley has made its mark on sheet-metal bending .
“ The H-iBrake is designed to take companies ’ production to the next level and help them to success at the lowest possible cost . This is achieved through advanced drive technology , increased approach and pressing speeds , optimum precision and energy regeneration , among other things ,” it told ISMR .
The H-iBrake uses the latest energy regeneration technology for less heat generation and very high energy efficiency . With sustainability in mind , a new drive system with integrated intelligent control is used on the bending system . This has reduced the size of the entire drive system with , says the Dutch manufacturer , “ minimal energy consumption ”. The new drive system is designed to optimise speeds in each process step and reduce cycle times . The introduction of an adaptive safety system integrates safety for operators and increases productivity . All machines using it are also equipped with new modular support arms .
“ The H-iBrake is equipped with the latest drive technologies , which means fewer components resulting in lower maintenance costs . This also ensures reliability and higher uptime . The applied technology covers the entire press brake range , delivering power and precision over the full range of tonnages ,” explained SafanDarley .
“ The H-iBrake ’ s modular construction has resulted in an attractive priceperformance ratio . In addition to lower purchase costs , using the H-iBrake also ensures lower energy consumption which reduces emissions on the CO₂ performance ladder . The design focuses on using energy as efficiently as possible ( not just consumption but , where possible , also feedback to the power grid which can significantly reduce operational costs ),” it concluded .
