“Advance Pressbrake improve a lot, have you prepare you & your factory ready?”
In these 30 years the change of Press Brake machine may not change much, but tooling & software develop quite a lot for beauty output after press, and genius software that help or nearly replace people job.

Hacobend 3D: The fastest offline bending software you’ll ever see in 4 Simple steps
- Import product drawing
- The most ideal tool setup
- The optimal bending sequence
- Immediate production


Security Test module
- Safety is highly important. With the Security Test, the safety of the production is checked and warning are generated in case of possibly dangerous situations during the bending process. This way the safety level for the operator can be increased.
- Other features: Calculation & display of the speed of the product deformity during bending, display of the product length in front of the machine, per step, Checking distance to next tool, General advice concerning safety during production, Visual real-time test, Possibility to enter info text or bitmaps per step (these appear before the step during production)
Optional module: Robot Bender for Automated Bending
This module can be activated when the bending system is equipped with a robotic arm. This robot then manipulates the products between the bending cycles, just like an operator would.
Productivity through Technology with Robot Bending
Today’s high requirements concerning productivity, quality and production speeds lead to an increasing demand for automated bending systems. For a couple of years now, a seamless fusion of hardware and software that results in fast and direct production, where the first product is immediately correct.
Alfa F Angle Measuring System
A system consisting of 2 laser beam transmitters and 2 camera’s on both sides of the workpiece. This system ensures that every angle is bend properly from the first bend, without the operator having to correct the angle manually to eliminate effects like springback or difference in material thicknesses.


Tooling system
Choosing a machine with the right tooling system is very important! You can use the relatively cheap European style tooling system for jobs where tools are not switched as frequent. Or you can use the higher advanced New Standard tooling system that allows easier faster tool setup times. This tooling system offers the highest accuracy and durability. Vertical loading together with the unique self-seating and self-aligning and hydraulic clamping characteristics guarantee short set up times. The smart tool locator (STL) further increases your pressbrake productivity. The system indicates by means of built-in LED’s the right clamping position of your tooling during tool setup and indicates the active tool location in production mode. The STL offers significant benefits in speed, precision and flexibility, and it’s available for all hydraulic New Standard Tool Holders.
