So you’re in the market for a new press brake.

With so many makes and models available how do you choose the right machine and how can you be sure you’re getting the very latest technology with the highest possible levels of productivity and performance?

Advanced technologies accessible today deliver safe, high speed and efficient machine control, greater functionality and usability, highly advanced optical protection and exceptional performance. In addition to these technologies, the latest advancements in embedded optical imaging aid productivity through more accurate and consistent part production, managing faster bend speeds, real-time angle measurement, high speed angle control and instant part sampling.

Unfortunately some press brake manufacturers make the mistake of treating productivity aids, user functionality, operator protection and safety as an afterthought. Simply adding on or offering an array of third party devices and components may provide basic functions but without the latest technology embedded as a complete solution these add ons can dramatically reduce machine productivity, performance, functionality and usability. In the end this costs you money.

What if you could own a machine that provides you with the very latest in functionality, safety and operator protection while at the same time enhancing productivity and performance to levels never before possible?

In this guide we showcase the industry’s leading press brake manufacturers who have embedded the very latest technologies into their machine designs to provide users efficient and streamlined operation, enhanced functionality and outstanding levels of productivity and performance.

Technology

RapidBend Turbo charge your press brake.

Press brake optical protection doesn’t have to slow you down. Machines with embedded RapidBend technology utilise high speed progressive muting that enables the tools to close safely at high speed until the punch is only millimetres above the material. This reduces the slow speed travel distance on every bend to boost machine performance and significantly enhance your productivity.

RapidBend enables the press brake to close safely at high speed until the punch is just 6mm above the material.

RapidBend Plus Not fast enough? RapidBend Plus reduces the speed change point even further from 6mm down to just 2mm to significantly enhance machine productivity, especially in high level production environments.

RapidBend Ultimate Why go slow when you can always go fast? RapidBend Ultimate eliminates slow speed altogether by enabling the tools to close at high speed right down to the pinch point for the ultimate in high speed performance.

Press Brakes with RapidBend technology consistently outperform any other machines on the market. Only press brakes with embedded RapidBend technology can guarantee this high level of performance so look for RapidBend, RapidBend Plus or RapidBend Ultimate when purchasing your next machine.

Technology

SmartLink Work smarter not harder.

SmartLink seamlessly integrates machine safety, optical protection and optical imaging functions with the CNC system to enhance the operation, functionality, performance and efficiency of the press brake.

Press brakes with SmartLink offer a wide array of functions and not only operate without restriction or interference from the optical protection system but with enhanced efficiency and productivity.

Functionality & productivity.

SmartLink enables optical protection modes to be selected and customised in the CNC bend program.

A different mode or combination of modes can be selected for each bend step allowing the operator to streamline set-up to suit the profile of the work piece. SmartLink automatically switches modes on each step of the bend program with automatic blanking of individual sensors to eliminate unnecessary stops and pedal presses for reduced cycle time and the fastest possible part production.

Press brakes with SmartLink technology produce parts more efficiently and faster than ever before.

FlexSpeed Who said safer is slower?

FlexSpeed safety control with high speed processing technology provides the platform for more efficient machine operation and superior performance.

Traditional press brake designs employ a combination of hardware and software safety processing.

This inefficient process slows down overall response and reaction times and when coupled with optical protection systems leads to a reduction in machine performance by forcing the machine to operate at reduced closing speed in order to improve stopping performance and increasing slow speed travel prior to bending.

Machines with FlexSpeed technology operate with maximum efficiency and productivity with no restriction on operating speed or performance.

PRESS BRAKE BUYER’S GUIDE

AutoSense AutoSense automatic monitoring technology tracks machine operation and performance in real time. AutoSense automatically monitors control commands, motion, direction, speed and stopping performance to maintain a high level of machine and operator protection. Press brakes with AutoSense guarantee compliance with international safety standards that mandate automatic monitoring of machine overrun and safe speed.

AutoSense Plus AutoSense Plus provides additional monitoring to detect and diagnose specific machine electrical and hydraulic faults with visual alerts displayed on the CNC. Machine problems are quickly and easily identified to help get your machine back into production with minimal downtime.

AutoSense Ultimate AutoSense Ultimate adds advanced Dynamic Valve Monitoring technology to automatically monitor hydraulic valves, associated control commands and machine actions independent of traditional valve sensors.

Press Brakes with embedded AutoSense technology give you peace of mind so you can focus on getting the job done.

BendShield Protecting your productivity, not just your operators.

BendShield technology provides advanced optical protection by enveloping the punch tip with a protective field that has no gaps while maintaining high speed operation. With an object detection resolution of 2mm, BendShield detects even the smallest obstruction from any angle. Press brakes with BendShield technology are not only the safest but also the most productive with guaranteed high speed performance.

Newer tougher material forces the industry to re-evaluate whether the existing machinery and tooling is sufficient enough to meet today’s demands when it comes to quality and productivity in Press Brakes.

Ursviken Technology AB was established in Sweden 1885 in the land of special AHSS Advanced High Strength Steel such as Domex, Hardox, Weldox and Armox.

Ursviken knows what it takes!

Ursviken is first in the line to meet the higher demands that new material requires. Knowing that heavier plates comes in one off or small batches so the set up time for the machine is essential as well as the possibility to over the full length make corrections to the bend angle locally. An even arc as deflection compensation is not sufficient enough! Anyone that has bent AHSS material in thicker quality and longer bends knows that the material might behave differently in different areas as well as tooling can be slightly worn. Bump bending in particular is critical to BDC (Bottom Dead Center) adjustments due to a repeatable error in the same area.

With CNC Variable Die Tool (VDT) the setup time is eliminated compared to the “old school” heavy die blocks.

The style with the U shaped Ve opening allows for “over bending” / compensation for the plate spring back and in the same time give space for big punch radii noses that is required for AHSS material, often with a ratio of 5 times the plate thickness. The die edge radii rollers are ideal for bending AHSS material and are affordable consumables in hardened quality.

20

The Ursviken VDT was invented in 1992 and has proven over and over that it withstands the high bend forces also for deeper bends in AHSS material. Long lifetime is crucial for big, heavy and expensive tooling.

With FlexiCrown Ursviken gives the user possibility to do local shimming

by CNC. FlexiCrowning also works outside the side frames. Every 600 mm CC an adjustment to the even arc can be made. “This is what we need!” a customer forming heavy pipes in titanium said in 1992. The 2500 ton press 12,2 m was delivered both with VDT and FlexiCrown. The press is still in operation today mainly forming mobile telescopic crane arm booms.

FlexiCrown has raised the bar for productivity for companies forming long heavy plate especially for pipes, poles and crane arms in AHSS material.

The Ursviken sale philosophy is to listen to the customers’ needs and supply a solution. It’s not just a question of length and tonnage; there are so many other considerations to be made. Lifetime expectancy in this type of machines is at least 25 years so when investing your money in new Press Brakes you need to think ahead.

“The decision we make today we have to live with for quite some time”. The press beam forms the part. How often does your beam stroke?

Chase your productivity on the idle time, the set up time, the time for making angle checks and making corrections to your program, shimming, the time for reworking your part.

Scrap in heavy AHSS is not an option!

The Ursviken design and application team are welcoming you with your production and productivity challenges. Together we form your unique solution for a cost efficient production to the highest quality in the most difficult materials in a safe way using the LazerSafe safety and operator protection systems for press brakes.
