Press brake 165/3000 for the American market

For our American distributor Michfab Machinery Inc., we built a hydraulic press brake with Design Next, a capacity of 165 tonnes and a table length of 3100 mm. The open-height is 600 mm, with a stroke of 400 mm.

Main features

This press brake features the E-Reflex Deformation Compensation System and the Gasparini Adaptive Crowning System. The E-Reflex monitors the bending of the structure thanks to a network of sensors in the machine and hydraulic system. The error is measured and compared with the position of the ram and oil pressure, allowing the actual height at which the punch is located to be calculated, regardless of deformations. The second, ensures that the two rams remain perfectly parallel, allowing total control of the bending angle.

CNC and software

The CNC is the Delem DA-69S, with Delem Profile-S 3D offline software.

The DA-69S offers 2D and 3D programming including automatic bend sequence calculation and collision detection. Full machine configuration in 3D with multiple tool stations providing real feedback on feasibility and product handling. Highly effective control algorithms optimise the machine cycle and minimise set-up times.

Clamping system

The hardened hydraulic clamping with micro-adjustment for Wila tools was chosen for the upper part of the machine.

Likewise, the lower clamping is also of the hardened hydraulic type for Wila tools.

Backgauge

The backgauge is configured on 5 axes (X-R-Z1-Z2-X6) fully controlled by the CNC.

Safety system

The press brake is equipped with the Iris Plus laser safety system, which uses a two-dimensional matrix sensor to monitor the entire area around the punch tip. With an optical resolution of only 2 mm, the system allows the speed change point to be positioned 0 mm from the sheet metal, significantly improving productivity. This results in a faster bending cycle, saving up to 3 seconds per bend.

Other systems and accessories

In addition, it was equipped with:

  • 2 sliding front supports
  • Provision for Tele-Link remote assistance
  • 1 standard foot pedal
  • LED lighting of the work area
  • CSA/UL-compliant systems
