Bending range has from four to seven axes

All are available in capacities from 80 tons and 2 m to 220 tons and 4.2 m. PPEC press brakes feature a rugged, welded one-piece frame machined without repositioning, guaranteeing precision. Hydraulic cylinders are machined from a solid steel billet. Pistons are steel forgings, precision ground and micropolished for years of trouble-free service. Microprocessor Technology is linked to servo-controlled state-of-the-art hydraulics and electronics to ensure perfect 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 the upper beam (Y1-Y2), 0.01 mm. The PPEC's 2-axis backgauge allows depth (X-axis) and height (R-axis) positioning of the two standard backgauge fingers. There's also the additional flexibility of Z1 and Z2 motorised backgauge movement for the -6 and -7 models (manual on the -4 and -5). The standard PPEC backgauge fingers allow gauging to 39.4" (1000 mm) and also serve as material supports. PPEC-4 and PPEC-5 models can be fitted with an additional third finger support, suited to the bending of 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 LVD's new CADMAN® Lite control. Based on the same platform as the full-featured CADMAN Touch control, CADMAN Lite offers a number of the same key features, including 2D graphic programming with automatic collision detection, direct angle or Quick Bend programming, and connection with LVD's CADMAN-B offline programming software.
