00 - Project story

We offer hydraulic press brakes designed for maximum efficiency and top-level operator safety in your sheet-metal bending operations. All our machines are built in full compliance with EN 12622, the ‘Safety of machine tools - Hydraulic press brakes’ standard, and with the relevant CE directives. With modern CNC controls, durable stress-relieved frames and advanced active safety equipment, our press brakes guarantee repeatable bending quality and a safe working environment, even in the toughest production conditions.

01 - Challenge

The challenges

The starting point: what was slowing the line down, putting it at risk or keeping its data in the dark?

  1. 01Challenge

    Holding a precise angle by preventing frame deflection during bending.

  2. 02Challenge

    Maximising operator safety without slowing down set-up or operation.

  3. 03Challenge

    Precise, repeatable bending depth across sheet materials of different thicknesses and types.

  4. 04Challenge

    Keeping the hydraulic system synchronised and precise over many years.

02 - Solution

Our solutions

Our answer: mechanics, controls and software, built by one team.

  1. 01Solution

    A CNC-controlled motorised crowning system comes as standard, for an even angle along the whole bend.

  2. 02Solution

    Active safety systems such as CE-certified Category 4 laser protection and rear light barriers are integrated.

  3. 03Solution

    High-quality proportional valve technology and precision linear scales give micron-level control of ram position.

  4. 04Solution

    The entire frame is stress-relieved after welding, securing its geometric precision for the long term.
