The Amada EP panel bender has been developed to realize new levels of production with speed efficiency and versatility being key aspects.
With improved production versatility over a full range of material sizes and an extensive range of automation options, the EP will provide a blank – to – bending solution to meet any specific needs. The servo drive system employed, ensures 100% repeatability, exceptional high speed and very low maintenance costs. The automation options ensure continuous production flows at the desired speeds.
Key benefits of the EP panel bender are extended range of shape sizes, large range of material thicknesses, high possibility of complex shape production and simple visual programming. All these benefits will eliminate any limitations that are associated with conventional panel bending.
The addition of two press brake models, namely the HS and HG series assures that Amada has a press brake to cater for any bending requirements. The HS series press brakes are down-stroking machines, available with different backgauge options and bend lengths from 2 meters up to 4 meters. The simple touch screen control allows the operator to set all bending conditions according to tooling being used and material being bent. Various back gauge options provide for a simple 2 axis machine or the more sophisticated 4 or 6 axis versions.
With the larger open height of 470mm and stroke length of 200mm, deep bending can be realized with less interference. The Eco-Drive system behind this operation ensures significant energy saving, compared to conventional machinery.
The HG range of press brakes has been developed for high speed and accuracy in all production environments. The combination of the high rigidity frame and the new hybrid drive system allow for process range expansion. The newly developed NC unit has strengthened display functions which allow the operator to check the forming information, view 3D models, while bending the components correctly from the first part. The hybrid crowning system will ensure a bend angle accuracy of ±15′ anywhere along the bed length.
An option of the Bi-S or Bi-L angle measuring system together with the thickness detection system (TDS) will ensure repetitive accuracy through automatic compensations being made to the program.
