The process of selecting a press brake controller

The process of selecting a press brake controller

A press brake controller is a type of device used to control and automate the operation of a press brake machine. It typically includes a programming interface that allows operators to input commands and specify parameters such as bending angles, backgauge positions, and tooling setups. The controller then uses this information to operate the press brake in a precise and efficient manner, ensuring accurate and consistent bending of sheet metal or other workpieces. Some advanced press brake controllers may also include features such as automatic tool compensation, collision detection, and data logging capabilities.

IIV.Summary

I.How to select the press brake controller?
  1. Determine the required specifications: Before selecting a press brake controller, determine the specific requirements such as the length and thickness of the material to be bent, the number of axes needed, and the level of automation required.

 

  1. Research and compare different brands and models: Research different brands and models of press brake controllers available in the market. Compare their features, capabilities, reliability, and customer reviews to determine which one best suits your needs.

 

  1. Consider the type of control system: There are different types of control systems available for press brake controllers, such as manual, CNC, and hydraulic. Consider the type of control system that would work best for your application and production requirements.

 

  1. Evaluate the operator interface: The operator interface of the press brake controller should be user-friendly and easy to navigate. Consider factors such as the size and resolution of the display, the layout of buttons and controls, and the availability of programming options.

 

  1. Determine the level of automation: Depending on your production requirements, you may need a press brake controller with varying levels of automation, such as automatic tool changing, bend sequence optimization, and offline programming capabilities. Consider the level of automation needed for your specific application.

 

  1. Consider the compatibility with existing equipment: If you already have other machines or equipment in your production facility, consider the compatibility of the press brake controller with your existing equipment to ensure seamless integration and operation.

 

  1. Get quotes and compare costs: Once you have narrowed down your options, request quotes from different suppliers and compare the costs of the press brake controllers. Consider not only the initial cost but also the long-term maintenance and operational costs.

 

  1. Consult with experts: If you are unsure about which press brake controller to select, consult with experts or professionals in the field who can provide guidance and recommendations based on your specific requirements.

 

  1. Make a decision and purchase: Once you have evaluated all the factors and options, make a decision on the press brake controller that best meets your needs and purchase it from a reputable supplier.

 

According to the principle of numerical control calculation of the controller, it is divided into NC controller and CNC controller.

IIV.Summary:

Among the four controllers of CNC Press Brake, ESTUN E21 and ELGO P40, the X axis and Y axis of these two systems use stepper motors, which have large error values in positioning accuracy and speed. E310P,CT8,DA41T,DA42T, X axis and Y axis use servo motors. When you choose, we recommend that buyers choose X axis and Y axis servo motor, fast positioning accuracy, when your budget is limited, it is recommended to choose E310P controller, which is the most cost-effective controller, he comes from Nanjing ESTUN listed company, stable quality, after-sales guarantee, many factories use TP10S, It is an inferior bending machine controller, when you use it for a year, there will be many quality problems, and the cost is high when you repair it. Will cause you a lot of trouble, it is recommended that customers choose the correct bending machine controller.
