Subcontractor gets a new press brake with sheet followers

The best tool for bending boxes, basins, and tanks

This press brake is setting sails to a beautiful firm from the Modena area, specializing in cutting and bending of sheet metal. A few weeks ago, they chose Gasparini for their new press brake. Their latest purchase is a 250 ton on 3 meters, customized in Box version, with a 750-mm throat.

The machine is equipped with 400-mm tall intermediate adapters for box bending. The ram has self-aligning hydraulic clamping: when closing, the adapters are raised and rested on the ram. Pre-bends are no longer needed to align the tooling. A special clamping system, compatible with the Wila standard, is used to fix punches and dies.

ACSG1 active crowning system allows to compensate in real time for the bowing of the ram, while the Reflex system corrects for the C-side frames deformation. The CNC is a Delem DA-66T CNC on mobile stand, with 3D visualization and Tele-Link remote assistance. Furthermore, the Stand-By technology allows to save energy.

When we bend very big metal sheets, their own weight can cause deformations. This firm uses a lot of stainless steel, often in big and thin pieces. For this reason they chose front sheet followers, that support the sheet during the bending phase. Supports are equipped with ball transfers to protect the surface.

Finally, it's important to work with some comfort: they therefore added the wireless pedal. This way, since there are no cables on the floor, you don't risk to stumble and everything's more practical!
