Press Brake Without Oil

27 Jul 11

Press brake without oil: the absence of hydraulics means that the problems associated with environmentally harmful oil are a thing of the past. Checking hydraulic components such as valves, tanks, pumps, filters and seals is no longer necessary either. Thanks to its environmentally friendly technology and up to 50% lower energy consumption, the SAFAN E-Brake allows for sustainable entrepreneurship.

The SAFAN E-Brake produces the most accurate and constant bending angles along the entire working length of the press-brake without the need for crowning. The unique, patented roller drive system in the upper beam ensures a uniform and direct distribution of forces. The servo-electronic drive with fast start and stop times allows for bending speeds up to 20mm/sec. The integration of this unique drive, concept, combined with the new SAFAN 17 inch E-Control Touch Screen and user friendly graphical programming reduces cycle times by typically 30%.

In addition the machine consumes up to 50% less energy. Environmentally friendly technology without oil, low-noise operation and maximum ergonomics are the SAFAN E-Brake's other strenghts. The machine comes with a unique, innovative back gauge system as a standard, which is very accurately controlled and can be used along the entire working length.

The SAFAN E-brake almost doesn't require electricity when it's not in bending mode. On a hydraulic press brake the drive of the hydraulic system is running all the time causing the oil to heat up, consuming energy even while the press is not bending.

In stand-by operation an E-Brake only requires power to run a PC and PLC. The difference is enough to support a complete household free of power.

When purchasing a press brake the largest expected capacity for future projects is taken into account. Because of this in many cases initially only a small part of the machines maximum capacity will be utilised. In these cases the SAFAN E-Brake electric drive, concerning the consumed electric capacity, will have a considerable advantage compared to the hydraulic drive.
