Support for long workpieces and materials from thin sheet metal to thick sheet metal.
AMADA has launched its HRB series of next-generation large press brakes. These machines expand the range of possible processing by enabling the bending and deep bending of thick sheet metal and large items.
The new HRB series products expand the large-scale machine range to seven models, with new support for long and med-to-thick material from 350 tons/3 metres to 600 tons/7 metres. In addition to now being able to support the steel material processing that supports social infrastructure and the workplaces that process thick sheet metal, consideration is also given to the environment with a unique hybrid drive system using an AC servo motor and two-way piston pump.
The machines are equipped with the AMNC 3i NC control. The AMNC 3i NC unit can be operated simply via the large touch screen, so it is easy to see all the required information at a single look. Easy operation, reduced setup time, new features to support the component quality and management activities have all been incorporated.
The AMNC 3i control is optimally matched to the AMADA VPSS 3i Software Suite.
The LITE mode, which makes it easy to create a machining programme, enables easy bending regardless of skill, age, gender and nationality.
In addition, by adopting the optional angle sensor “Bi-LII” for thick sheet metal and “heavy work sensor butting” for the back gauge, it is possible to reduce bending accuracy failures and realise stable machining.
The sheet metal processing industry is currently experiencing a severe labour shortage and is facing problems related to the aging of engineers and the development of the next generation of operators. In addition, efforts to achieve carbon neutrality are urgently needed in response to the increasing awareness of the environment worldwide. AMADA will solve the issues in the sheet metal processing industry through its products and technologies and will also explore the future of manufacturing together with customers and create innovation.
