Built for demanding users
The new AIMS (Adaptive Integrated Manufacturing Solution) press brake is aimed squarely at laser users, turret punch users and those customers that require precision pressed components and need a machine capable of quickly adapting to the varying job requirements of today’s demanding manufacturing and jobbing environments.

Latest technology
The AIMS press brake has been designed from the ground up to utilize the latest technology for streamlining the design-to-manufacture process.

Cybelec Modeva 15s controller
It features a Windows based controller utilizing 3D software and network integration, with touch screen control, full off-line programming package including DXF file conversion, folding simulation and creation of cutting programs.

Heavy duty back gauge
Precision high speed 6-axis back gauge.Driven by precision ground ball screws and mounted on precision ground linear track. Powered by the latest technology AC servomotors with belt drives. Two probe system, with each probe having independent X1 & X2 axis movements of 600mm (1300mm by using the additional stops supplied), independent R1 & R2 axis movements of 250mm, and full Z1 & Z2 axis movements between side frames

Clip-in tooling with hydraulic clamping top and bottom and many more time saving features. Manufacturers will find that this machine will easily integrate itself into the most demanding of manufacturing situations.
