It can be operated independent of previous operator experience. The machine supports all major tooling styles; its open control allows individual adjustment of all calculations.

The press brake adjusts ram position and crowning in response to material properties. It provides 0.00015-in. ram positioning repetition accuracy and is the only press brake that introduces no angle errors, the company reports. At the press of a button the machine determines and generates the bending sequence, backstop positioning, tool plan, and process data.
