New level of bending press technology

They represent a new level of technology for top-of-the-range bending press technology: the bending press of AMADA's HD series. With seven different model sizes, this series features a wide range of press forces and press beam lengths.

HD bending press machines are available in combination with a wide range of accessories. A well balanced combination of tools and application-oriented software ensures optimum bending results. In addition, customers also benefit from sheet followers, a variable back gauge function (Delta-X) and a choice between two angle measurement systems. A newly developed, highly efficient press beam design guarantees high-quality bending results across the length of the machine. The bending press machine control calculates the correct values to be set for the system as a function of the material, as well the length and position of the workpiece on the press beam.

AMADA uses a special servo-hydraulic concept to operate the HD bending press in order to guarantee high-precision bending results at all times. Servomotors drive the hydraulic pumps that supply oil to the cylinders. The fact that the motor only operates while the press beam is moving results in significantly reduced energy consumption. Other benefits are the reduced hydraulic oil requirements and the reduced oil heating demands. This guarantees uniform bending quality, which is no longer influenced by oil temperature fluctuations.

The new HD bending press series is an all-rounder in the high-end segment for bending technology. The resulting range of available press forces is very broad: between 500 and 2200 kN, optionally up to 6000 kN.
