      <description><![CDATA[Pilz offers the PSENvip camera-based protection system for visual monitoring of press brake bending processes. When installed on the upper die of a press brake, the system detects even small foreign bodies in the protected field between the transmitter and receiver. It also records control data from the bending process. The system's compact PSS control system monitors and evaluates safety-related control functions, as well as press, safety, and retaining valves for the slide. BG- and T&Atilde;œV-approved software and function blocks provide for common safety control and monitoring functions. The user just adds plant-specific parameters. The integrated display enables the user to adapt the fields for box bending, backgauge mode, and tool change. Integrated overrun measurement eliminates the need for additional components such as cams. If the overrun is exceeded, the system is locked.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Bystronic has introduced a new version of its midrange press brake, the EP series. The new machine, equipped with the Cybelec DNC 880S 2D control, can select bend sequences automatically to help simplify operations. The press brake features standard active hydraulic crowning, which can deliver exact bend angles across the entire length of the bed to help reduce operator setup times and bend angle adjustments.]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.thefabricator.com/product/bending/servo-electric-bender-performs-multi-functions-with-standard-tooling</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[The Fast Bend is the newest member of the Prima Finn-Power servo-electric bender family. It can bend five different parts with different thicknesses and alloys in five minutes, the company states.The machine helps reduce or eliminate non-value-added costs associated with the traditional press brake operation, according to the manufacturer. It can form different angles, hems, multiple corner radii, Z offsets, and closed tubular profiles with the standard set of tooling.The Automatic Tool Change (ATC) option, automatic feed table, and automatic inversion of positive and negative bending blades allow for more bends per side in an automatic sequence without manual intervention. The operator only loads, rotates, and unloads the part.The operator can initiate a part program by scanning the bar code on the part with the optional bar code reader. The instruction display screen notifies the operator when the tool setup is complete, and it displays graphically how the part blank is to be loaded. With this method, part setups as quick as 10 seconds can be achieved, says the company.]]></description>

      <guid>http://www.thefabricator.com/product/bending/tube-bending-tooling-alternative-to-solid-wiper-tooling</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[Bend Tooling Inc. has introduced the patent-pending High-Pressure Wiper System&amp;trade; as an alternative to solid wiper tooling.It is an assembly consisting of a solid steel body, a single- or double-sleeved bore insert that can be replaced without removing the system from the machine, and an adjustable stabilizer located on the radius face to set and reset the system to hold a setup.The system is designed to handle extreme bends in which the wiper must be set with little or no rake. It is suitable for bending thin-wall stainless steel, nickel alloy, titanium, and copper tubing for aerospace, defense, boiler, automotive, and shipbuilding applications.]]></description>

      <link>http://www.thefabricator.com/product/bending/mid-range-press-brakes-introduced</link>
      <guid>http://www.thefabricator.com/product/bending/mid-range-press-brakes-introduced</guid>
      <description><![CDATA[LVD Strippit has introduced its PPEC press brakes designed as a mid-range bending system less challenging forming applications.The press brakes, which include the PPEC-6 and PPEC-7 models, provide capacities from 80 tons, 2 meters up to 220 tons, 4.2 meters with four to seven CNC controlled axes, depending upon machine model.The brakes have a rugged, welded one-piece frame machined without repositioning. Hydraulic cylinders are machined from a solid steel billet. Pistons are steel forgings, precision ground and micropolished.Microprocessor Technology is linked to servo-controlled state-of-the-art hydraulics and electronics to ensure precise control of the bending process and optimum precision. Double bed referenced encoders are connected to the bed in such a way that deformation of the side frames during bending does not influence the positioning accuracy of 0.01 mm of the upper beam (Y1-Y2).The PPEC's two-axis backgauge allows depth (X-axis) and height (R-axis) positioning of the two standard backgauge fingers.  PPEC-6 and PPEC-7 models offer the additional flexibility of Z1 and Z2 motorized backgauge movement. The standard PPEC backgauge fingers allow gauging to 39.4 in. (1,000 mm) and also serve as material supports. PPEC-4 and PPEC-5 models can be fitted with an additional third finger support, which is suitable for bending channels.A V-axis crowning system fitted to PPEC-5 and PPEC-7 models ensures parallel and consistent bending results on longer bending length over the different tonnage levels.All new PPEC press brakes are equipped with the company's CADMAN&amp;reg; Lite control. Based on the same platform as the full-featured CADMAN&amp;reg; Touch control, CADMAN Lite offers a number of the same key features, including 2-D graphic programming with automatic collision detection, direct angle or Quick Bend programming, and connection with the company's CADMAN-B offline programming software.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Van Sant Enterprises Inc. has introduced a sheet metal radius brake for forming radius bends in mild steel and aluminum. The apron swings outside the radius and rolls across the material, which helps minimize stress and cracking.The machine includes five different radius bars (1/2, 1, 1-1/4, 1-1/2, and 2 in.) for bending different radii in sheet metal. It features 1/2-in. steel plate construction, powder-coated components, 6-ft./16-ga. capacity, quick tooling change, and radius roll storage on the machine.]]></description>

CLR. The interactive PLC touchscreen offers access to auto and manual operating modes, system diagnostics, and multiple language capability.The bender offers programmable bend angles with independent material springback setting for each bend. Programmable auto mandrel positioning allows the operator to optimize extraction for improved bend quality. Clamping, pressure die, and boost movements are programmable with manual override. USB is available for unlimited program memory storage and communication.The interactive touchscreen displays absolute or incremental positioning with inch or metric readout. The programmable tailstock interference zone monitors position and eliminates workhead collision.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[CML USA Ercolina&amp;reg; has introduced two new double-pinch ring rollers. The forged roll shafts are precision-ground and -fitted. The rollers feature heavy-duty structure and rigid components, as well as a reinforced engineered mainframe design.Dual-axis movement helps reduce tag end length material scrap. Simultaneous downfeed and roll movement helps to minimize deformation. The touchscreen control is programmable and shows digital center readouts of each shaft position. The memory stores multiple programs and unlimited passes.Each machine includes a universal tooling set.  The roll shafts are threaded with micrometric flange adjustment to help eliminate spacer usage. Individual drive motors are provided for each shaft with auto speed compensation. A three-axis hydraulic anti-twist system is available as an option.]]></description>
