Due to the performance of the upper beam, combined with the velocity and flexibility of a new back gauge, efficiency is said to be a primary attribute of the HFE-5012M2. The open height of the frame has been increased, resulting in an optimised solution for all tooling types, and allowing for deeper box bending. Furthermore, a narrower lower beam increases process flexibility and combines ergonomics with crowning precision, while the back gauge with active security provides both better productivity and safety through its high speed motion yet low impact force.
Amada’s HFE-5012M2 has been equipped with several features designed specifically to support operator comfort, including: a reclining and adjustable table; an ergonomic chair with adjustable height and back-rest inclination; a retractable foot rest; six drawers (located at a convenient height) equipped with tooling and inserts; and a workplace lighting kit.
The HFE-5012M2 is the first in a series of Amada bending machines being developed to more carefully consider actual working environments, aiding the operator’s daily activity with the benefits of comfort and enhanced productivity.
