Taking Shape: Bending & Forming

Here are some of the latest advances in press brakes that can help shops increase their metal bending and forming productivity, improve quality and safety, and reduce their operating costs.

Ideal for job shops that bend greater varieties of shapes in small batches, the high-end Xpert press brake from Bystronic uses an integrated Tool Changer system that can swap tools automatically. This state-of-the-art sensor system with integrated 6-axis robotics creates an exceedingly versatile and compact bending system that sets itself up so that shops can save time and increase quality, but not forego flexibility.

Why Shops are Demanding Fast but Mobile Bending Systems
The Xpert 40, 80 and 150 press brakes from Bystronic are ideal for shops that need a small and versatile powerhouse for bending small to medium-sized parts up to a bending length of approximately 5 ft and a maximum thickness of ¾ in.

Advanced Press Brake Flexibility for a Wide Range of Bending Applications
Ideal for a wide range of bending jobs, PPED Series hydraulic press brakes from LVD Strippit are practical and easy to use, combining a multi-axis backgauge, CNC crowning system, and a 15 in version of the exclusive TOUCH-B graphical icon-driven CNC controller for greater flexibility and enhanced capability in a variety of bending applications.

Intuitive Information Management for Press Brake Operations
Priced to achieve ROI in less than one year, the VIDERE system for Mitsubishi BB and BH series press brakes from MC Machinery Systems supplies real-time information and intuitive assist features to operators in an easily understandable and readable format.

Advanced Systems for Superior Metal Bending
With TruBend 5000 and 7000 Series press brakes and the automated TruBend Cell 7000 from TRUMPF, shops get innovative angle measuring, automatically controlled bending and the world’s fastest bending of small parts.
