Find your next new press brake.

The OptiFlex press brake range can provide you with “tailor made” solutions to your forming requirements. The OptiFlex represents our first press brake designed utilizing sophisticated computer modelling throughout the engineering and manufacturing process. OptiFlex – the optimisation of individual modules resulting in a no-compromise solution for superior accuracy and flexibility in bending.

Smarter by Design

The expanded geometric design of the OptiFlex means more – more open height, longer stroke, unlimited gap and increased back gauge travel. Standard equipped, the OptiFlex offers one of the largest working envelopes ever. Modular con- struction techniques have resulted in a machine providing great features to enhance day to day versatility.

Performance Platform for Today and Tomorrow

Super Charged well describes the performance of the OptiFlex press brake. High velocity hydraulics and advanced electronics coupled with AC servo drives propel the axes at lightning speed via fast-pitched ball screws without compromi- sing accuracy or reliability.

Intelligent Safety

OptiFlex is available with integrated safety features that will enhance the machine productivity rather than inhibit it. More than 20 user-selectable modes of operation make our guarding system adaptive to the specific pro- duction environment.

The Economics of Ergonomics

People are one of your most important assets! A user-positional control system, fully programmable sheet support and manipulation axes, programmable dies, tool storage systems and a wide range of tool clamping systems are available to provide a positive ergonomic working environment that your operators will appreciate.

Back Gauges

The high velocity back gauges possess a huge strength-to-weight ratio with minimal intrusion into the forming environment. Travel limits have been extended in all three dimensions (X-R-Z)and enhanced gauge fingers increase the gaugingversatility.

Deflection Compensation

Absolute accuracy demands accurate crowning. The OptiFlex system incorporates a full-length wedge, a true axis with feed-back for full control. The CNC will optimize the crowning based on the forming variables.

Programmable Sheet Supports

CNC controlled sheet support systems not only act as a support arm, they also ensure accurate material positioning for accurate bending. For larger parts a sheet follower can be added that will automatically follow the speed of the ram throughout the bend cycle. Stand-alone or combined, these features will significantly improve part accuracyand reduce operator fatigue.

The Optima press brake has features that will optimize the bending result, regardless of material thickness and quality. These features reduce set up time and eliminate trial and error bending thus increasing productivity.

The Optima press brake can be customized to suit individual applications with different daylight, stroke, throat depth and bend length. The Optima can be equipped with light guards or security by laser beams, to facilitate a safe bending environment. Of equal importance is to provide the operator(s) with an ergonomic working environment. The Optima can be fitted with material handling/supports. A comprehensive training program is included with each Optima.

Lift/Swing

CNC-controlled lift, electrically driven in verticaldirection. The programmable table bracket can be equipped with a pivoting front bracket. This allows for material support during the entire bending cycle. This contributes to improved ergonomics, increased part accuracy and reduced set up time.

Crowning

CNC controlled crowning, eliminates the need forshimming dies. With high repeatable accuracy of the crowning system consistent bends are achieved. For special requirements the Optima can be equipped with an advanced crowning with localized adjustment, FlexiCrown.

Control System

The control system offers two alternatives that showproduct programming graphically in 2-D or 3-D. Pow- ered by AutoPOL off line software as an option, we take the metal sheet fabrication to a new dimension. Usetrue 3-D models, bend simulate in virtual environment, bending process is considered when educated .dxf file is generated automatically for correct blank size. NCcode for the press is generated in the same moment.

Attachment of table and ram

A unique flexible attachment between the upperram and piston rod allows the programming of large tilts of the ram with no possibility of damage to the cylinder.

Tandem operation

For applications where additional bend length is required, all Optima’s can be placed in tandem. Forming can then be done in tandem or as two stand alone machines.

Tool attachment

Choose between several alternative upper tool attachments with manual or hydraulic clamping.

VDT and angle control system

The programmable lower tool, VDT and Ursvikenangle control system combines accuracy with fast set up tooling. These two options increase productivity dramatically.

Back gauge

The heavy duty stroke back gauge allows a greater gauging depth with material support. This increasesgauging flexibility and significantly improves accuracywhile reducing part handling. Back ganges are avail- able in diffrent models and sizes.
