Turkish manufacturer , Ermaksan , has been continuously improving and adding to its portfolio of products . It has now re-designed the look of its hydraulic press brakes with “ a more elegant , dynamic and different outlook .” Its Flexible Cutting & Bending Line integrates its FIBERMAK GEN-5 laser cutting machine with TOWERMAK loading system and the new SPEED BEND PRO press brake , enhanced with robotic applications .
Its green FX Servo press brake uses electric technology for low energy consumption ( approximately 50 % lower , compared to hydraulic press brakes , it confirmed ). With a four-axis back gauge , full-length bends can be made between side columns , with no obstructions , and the machine is almost silent in operation . Sliding front support arms assist the operator for easier material handling .
Other Ermaksan press brake models include the Evolution III ( hybrid ); Green Press FX servo ; Speed-Bend Pro ; Power-Bend Seater ; Power-Bend Pro ; Power Bend-Falcon ; Micro- Bend ; Eco-Bend Expert and the Heavy-Duty press brake ( featuring a hydro-dynamic hybrid crowning system , six-axis servo motor backgauge system and special top / bottom tools ).
Eurostamp Tooling has been manufacturing and selling press-brake tooling and equipment since 1970 . At EuroBLECH 2022 , it launched a new range of press-brake tooling : series ESH , Eurostamp Same Height . It has extended its product range by introducing a new complete series of upper and lower tools for European style clamping systems ( AMADA / Promecam ).
Italian manufacturer F . lli Vimercati S . n . c . offers a wide range of press brakes from the smallest ( 30 tonnes x 1250mm ) up to 600 tonnes x 8050mm without stroke and opening limits , along with optional accessories . Its e . TERNA hybrid press brakes are fitted with SIEMENS IE3 motors driven by an inverter that , combined with a pump , controls the main motor and activates it only when the machine starts running . This means zero energy consumption during standby , but energy savings are also made during operation via the Pressure Control system .
Gasparini ’ s Agile tool-changer system .
Fiessler Elektronik GmbH & Co . KG has cited its AKAS 3P as ‘ the first co-moving press brake safety system worldwide which provides high-speed operation up to the clamp point ’. By using the new press-brake safety system , it is now possible to operate and close a pressbrake at high-speed to the clamp point .
Fintek Industry Company Limited provides sheet-metal machines such as hydraulic pressbrakes , shearing , folding , rolling machines etc . With over 30 years of experience in machine manufacturing , it is one of the largest companies in Taiwan ’ s machine-tool industry .
Gabella Macchine is an Italian manufacturer of sheet-metalworking machines with 60 years of experience in the production of cut-to-length lines , slitting lines , multi-blanking lines , pressbrakes and folders .
Gasparini ’ s X-Press hydraulic press brake is now available in three versions : Easy ( entry level ), Next and SuperCustom . The 80-ton , twometre 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 . The X-Press Next 30 / 1250 press brake is for small part bending and offers a range of accessories .
“ Machines can be produced in any bending force and with any length ,” said the Italian manufacturer . “ Press brakes can also be configured as stand-alone , or in tandem / tridem / quadrem and integrated in a robotic cell or automated line . The X-Press Next Hybrid pressbrake is equipped with an innovative hydraulic system that makes it even more ecological and efficient . Thanks to the brushless motor , we can precisely control the movement of the ram using a minimum amount of oil and energy ,” added the Italian bending specialist .
The X-press ECO energy-saving system features an inverter motor drive ( available as an option for the X-Press product line ) which delivers quiet operation and faster cycle times . Gasparini Adaptive Crowning Plus is the advanced version of Gasparini adaptive crowning , part of the ECO + package .
