PPEB press brakes now come with hydraulic systems that reportedly speed up the ram by as much as 30% compared to standard machines. According to the manufacturer, additional speed lets the brakes produce parts normally made on small, high-performance machines and also improves output when using wide dies requiring deep punch penetration and long ram travel. The brakes employ closed-loop variable-pump technology that reduces electric-power consumption and servos to control hydraulics and electronics. They feature Windowsbased Cadman 3D-programming software. User-generated databases, created by bending results, store bend allowance, angle correction, and springback. Machine options include a laser that measures angles in real time and support sheets that automatically calculate lifting arm speed and position.
