LVD 135 tons, 7 axles CNC Fold-Bending Machine produces each and every desired piece
with 100% sensitivity thanks to its bending angle control system through Easy-Form laser and CADMAN software.

PPEB Press Brakes provide the ultimate in flexible automation and advanced production techniques. Servo-controlled with state-of-the-art hydraulics and electronics, the PPEB press brake is built on a rigid frame design to ensure precision.

Cadman-B 3D Design
We use Cadman-B programme Cadman-B Offers the Most Productive Solution for Programming Bending

• Automatic bend order generation with automatic gauging by sections
• Simulation of bending sequences with virtual machine environment in solid view
• Tool can be pre-selected from tool-list based on the workpiece
• Automatic tool set-up according to the bending sequence
• The system calculates automatically the minimum station quantity needed to bend the part and shows the position to set up the tools.
• The station gaps and punch horns can be foreseen automatically if needed.
• Parallel or inclined gauge bend, multi-bend, hemming bend definition
• Collision checking during simulation with visualization
• Automatic alignment of the part on a tool station
• Tools can be defined by a free shape drawing or a drawing in DXF format
• Automatic calculation of axis position and time estimation and the program is ready for the bending on press brake

Easy Form Measuring System
The patented Easy Form measuring system tracks the plate during the bending process and transmits digital data in real time to the CNC control. The control then recalculates the depth adjustment to obtain the correct angle in real time with no process interruption and no loss of production time. This results in constant bend angles regardless of material variation, avoiding costly trial-and-error bending.

Lazer Safe
The Lazer Safe system, available on all PPEB press brakes, works by projecting a flat visible laser beam along the blade, in the horizontal plane 9 mm (.35") from the tip of the blade. The laser beam is mounted with the blade so that as the blade moves toward the bed, so does the beam. If the beam is obstructed, the blade or bed immediately stops and reverses direction a few millimeters. The blade cannot make contact with an obstruction.

When Lazer Safe is used, the operator does not have to move out of the safety zone, and the changeover point does not have to be programmed to above the customary 6 mm (.24"). When bending 3D work pieces, the ram can even move at high speed when it is operating within the upright flanges. The Lazer Safe system is double redundant to ensure optimum safety.
