EG-4010 electric press brake

Fully electric press brake which combines increased productivity and precision, with lower power consumption. This compact and ergonomic machine increases output and quality, by reducing operator fatigue.  

The drives comprise of dual servomotors on each side of the press brake, so four servomotors in total. This ‘dual’ concept is based around delivering the customer demand for both high speed and low power consumption. Indeed, productivity is maximised with a beam speed of up to 220mm/s. Despite the high speed, energy consumption is reduced considerably by utilising 5.3kW motors with 2.8kVA power requirements. In comparison with the modern hydraulic press brake with 7kW motor output and 10 kVA power requirement, a 72% reduction.  

In addition with electric technology, there is no hydraulic oil, saving on both service and oil disposal costs, and ultimately serving to protect the environment. The use of advanced electric-drive technology importantly does not compromise quality; in fact, it is enhanced with 1µm (0.001mm) drive precision, comparing favourably to the 10µm (0.01mm) offered by typical hydraulic machines. This accuracy is supported by 3µm (0.003mm) independent back-gauge positioning capability. Control is via AMADA’s proprietary AMNC 3i, which is compatible with VPSS 3i offline programming software. The control also ensures complete futureproofing in line with Industry 4.0.  The easy-to-use control with smartphone-style operation facilitates increased machine uptime and a greater number of parts per hour.  

The ergonomics of the EG-4010 creates a highly comfortable and productive workstation for processing small, complex parts. Seated operation is possible with work table and seat kit included, with a cut-out in the lower beam facilitating foot-pedal activation from a seated position.  The workstation can also be customised by the operator with multiple adjustments available, such as, seat height, foot pedal angle, controller height/angle and the ability to position the machine controller to either the left or right side. Operator fatigue is therefore reduced, which in turn decreases defective parts and increases productivity through the working shift, as well as providing greater comfort to the operator.   Further innovations include SGRIP punch tool clamps for vertical tool loading and unloading; Digi-pro angle measurement for quick adjustment during test bending; and AKAS® safety system with automatic height setting capability for fast set-up and fast operation when in close proximity to the tooling.
