PPEC press brake series enhanced with 35 to 50 ton models

These 35 to 50 ton configurations complete the PPEC product line that ranges from 35 to 220 tons, with bend lengths from -1,500 to 4,270 mm. The smaller tonnage PPEC machines achieve bending speeds up to 20 mm per second, providing fast, accurate bending of smaller piece parts. An Energy Reduction System (ERS) featured on PPEC machines reduces cost of operation by offering energy savings of up to 30 percent over comparable designs. Like all PPEC press brakes, the new 35 to 50 ton models are equipped with LVD's 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. Microprocessor technology is linked to servo-controlled hydraulics and electronics to maintain control of the bending process while optimising 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 0.01 mm positioning accuracy of the upper beam (Y1-Y2).
