Electronic press brakes
Replacing five conventional hydraulic models, manufacturer of precision sheet metalwork, Fife Fabrications has installed its first SafanDarley technology in the shape of four E-Brakes (electronic press brakes).

Installed during the Christmas shutdown at the end of 2013, the E-Brakes are expected to generate a 30% increase in productivity over the previous machines, and a minimum 50% saving in energy consumption.
The absence of hydraulics makes each SafanDarley E-Brake press brake as environmentally friendly as possible. The machine only consumes energy when the upper beam is in motion. Furthermore, the servo-electronic drive based on the pulley principle ensures a very even distribution of forces so that in 98% of cases no crowning table is needed.
