The customer's need
The customer needed a press brake capable of performing a double flattening during the bending sequence, without having to reconfigure the machine between operations. The objective was to reduce set-up times and optimise the production flow, while maintaining high accuracy and operator safety.
The Gasparini solution
To meet this need, Gasparini designed an XP165/3000 press brake, equipped with an automated tool change system and an automatically positioned multi-pocket die, allowing the entire bending and flattening cycle to be performed in a single set-up.
Key machine features
✔ Automated changeover for double machining without interruption
Two-position top tool with automated changeover → Allows rapid switching between the two operations without the need for manual intervention.
Automatically positioning multi-position matrix with bending-flattening function → Dynamically adapts the configuration to perform both operations precisely and efficiently.
✔ Safety and operational versatility
Adaptive safety photocell → Automatically adapts to both punch positions, providing continuous protection without interfering with productivity.
✔ Maximum ergonomics and practicality for the operator
Customised front table → Designed to facilitate workpiece positioning, reducing operator fatigue.
Quick coupling system → For fast and safe set-up.
Pneumatic movement and lateral extensions → Allow easier handling of even large workpieces.
