Electric Press Brake Compliments Laser Cutting Operations

This high-speed press brake compliments the most demanding of part volumes generated by today’s high-speed laser cutting machines, such as fiber lasers.

Bystronic Inc. (Elgin, IL) introduces the Xcite 80 E, a new and innovative press brake that exemplifies both speed and ease of operation. The machine is powered by dual electric motors, enabling high acceleration and seamless speed transitions without lag times.

The Xcite 80 E is 2.5 times faster than a hydraulic press brake in completing comparable bends. Using the Fast Bend+ safety system, the upper tool can be quickly positioned very close to the metal sheet without placing the operator in any danger. Only when ready to process does the machine seamlessly switch over to bending speed.

This high-speed press brake capable of complimenting the most demanding of part volumes generated by today’s high-speed laser cutting machines, such as fiber lasers. With its 88 tons of bending force capability, this electric press brake is also powerful enough to meet the full range of sheet metal applications across the entire table length.

The Xcite is highly accurate, thanks to the proprietary Force Dynamic Drive, which provides speed, power and constant pressure along the entire bending length. This ensures that minimal deflections occur in both the upper and lower beam, enabling the electric press brake to bend within a top-of-class tolerance of ±25 arc minutes, and with a simply incredible repeatability of ±0.000098 in.

The user-friendly Xcite 80E electric press brake takes advantage of the advanced ByVision control package already used with laser-cutting and waterjet-cutting machines. This gives every user the ability to obtain excellent results with only a few entries on the Xcite’s 22 in-touch screen control panel.

Prior training requirements are minimal: beginners are guided safely through the programming operation and supported with a high level of automated features. Designed for flexibility and high performance, ByVision also provides more experienced professionals with the ability to apply their knowledge and skills, and define their own limits for the bending technology.
