The SafanDarley R-Brake is a revolutionary bending-cell concept based on the SafanDarley E-Brake press brake. For the SafanDarley R-Brake, the press brake and the robot have been integrated into a single system. The robotic arm moves horizontally along a six metre long traverse at the top of the press brake. A feature of the bending cell automation is that it ensures that the floor in front of the press brake is free for positioning sheet-fed and discharge tables.
SafanDarley exhibited the new R-Brake 130T at EuroBLECH 2018. With the R-Brake, the press brake and the robot are integrated into one system
Compactness
The SafanDarley R-Brake has a compressional force of 130T and a bending length of 3 100mm. The robot arm has a capacity of 50 kilograms. The SafanDarley R-Brake’s robotic arm can be moved horizontally on a track in front of the machine, which leaves the floor in front of the press brake free for the pallets containing the sheets to be bent and positions to stack the bent products.
Off-Line programming
For the off-line programming SafanDarley offers the RoboWave programming software which enables the user to make programmes for the bending cell and make an accurate simulation. The setup times of the SafanDarley R-Brake are reduced by using this software.
Vision system
The machine comes equipped standard with a positioning table but optionally the basic model can be equipped with a vision system for defining the zero position of the sheet. Double sheet detection is safeguarded by an optional sheet weight sensor, which will be mounted in the gripper.

Bending without crowning
As a further evolvement of the SafanDarley E-Brake, the SafanDarley R-Brake comes with all the benefits of the innovative E-Brake technology. This includes the unique patented pulley drive in the top beam, which delivers an even, direct distribution of forces. This makes it possible to obtain the most accurate and constant bending angle along the full range of the machine without the need for crowning.
Easy touch screen control
Every operator can operate the SafanDarley R-Brake without problems, thanks to the SafanDarley touch screen control system. The system can be programmed very quickly and accurately thanks, among other things, to a ‘self learning’ database of materials, tools and previous (corrected) bendings.
Another benefit is that the machine also can be operated manually if necessary.
