ACCURL PRESSBRAKE SHEET FOLLOWERS TAKE THE WEIGHT
The front sheet followers system is a very effective accessory:
Consisting of a pair of sheet supports placed on the front of the machine at the height of the bending line(bottom tool) – Supports are controlled by the CNC, following and supporting the sheet during the bending process.
•Moving system totally mechanic with rack and pinion system.
•Mechanical gear box.
•Work table in aluminium with anodized treatment and stainless steel.
•Brush and support shaft dim. 350×900 mm extendable up to 1200 mm.
•Horizontal and vertical adjustment on trapezoidal screws and bronze nuts.
•Driving by manual handwheels.
THE BEST WAY TO SUPPORT LARGE SHEETS FOR BENDING
Accurl’s new press brake electric sheet metal followers are completely controlled by the CNC.
Accurl has created new motorised sheet followers to support the sheet during the bend. The dual interpolated axis configuration allows to continuously follow the part during the bend, to reduce the risk of scratches and counterbends and simplify the machine operators’ work.
FRONT SHEET FOLLOWER SUPPORTS SYSTEM
The hydraulic press brakes with Sheet supports follower system for bending long and thin sheets.
It consists of a pair of sheet supports placed on the front of the machine at the height of the bending line (bottom tool).
Supports are controlled by the CNC, following and supporting the sheet during the bending process.
- Automatic bending follower supports
- AP1 – AP2 CNC-controlled interpolated axes
- Recommended for heavy parts or large thin plate
- Bend as closed as 70°
- Load capacity – 180 kg per support
- Brush and support shaft dim 350×900 up to 1200 mm
The latest followers for sheet metal bending aim to optimize the performances of our press brakes by reducing the time to set up the press brake and simplifying the work of operators.
These bending aids provide valuable practical assistance (including an automatic height adjustment) for operators especially for heavy or large parts.
