AHK M 1540 NC

SKU : 182641

The AHK M series was developed as a modern, inexpensive NC alternative to CNC press brakes. Many operators are familiar working without CNC programming, and this model series combines proven technology with modern safety standards. The back gauge in the X- and R-axes and the depth gauge in the cylinders can be positioned directly using the touchscreen, or bending sequences can be stored in the NC control for automatic operation. The series is convincing in the production of workpieces with recurring materials and contours.

  • Stress-relieved welded steel construction
  • Top beam with torsion shaft
  • NC control with touch-screen HMI
  • Back gauge with X and R axes
  • European-style male die

Machine Frame and Male Die

  • The machine frame is made of a high-precision, stress-relieved steel weldment and features a rigid bending bar and hydraulic cylinders on both sides
  • A large throat and narrow table ensure plenty of free space to accommodate complex bending sequences

Hydraulics

  • The hydraulic unit with reservoir is placed in the top part of the machine frame to save space and add to the rigidity of the construction
  • Precise upper beam positioning is ensured by a torsion shaft that connects the depth stops of both cylinders

Front Support Arms

  • Each support arm can be adjusted in height and is extremely sturdy
  • A stop ridge on the supporting surface helps with workpiece alignment

Bending Tools

  • Promecam tool mounts to accommodate an extensive selection of bending tools
  • Manual quick-action clamping system for tool mount shortens tool changing times
  • With 4 bending dies the die can handle a wide spectrum of workpieces

Safety and Productivity

  • Safety features are based on the latest CE regulations
  • Light curtains around the work area provide reliable protection

Control

  • All functions are input and retrieved directly at the touchscreen
  • In manual mode, all axes can be positioned via motorized motion and the set values are shown on the display
  • In semi-automatic mode, the values entered by the user are directly selected
  • In auto. mode, the programmed bending sequence is positioned automatically
  • Each storage area holds 500 data sets, and programs can be stored externally and re-imported
  • The axis position is maintained when the display is turned off
  • In addition to a USB port, the machine also features a network port at the control panel

Back Gauge

  • The excellent stability of the NC-controlled back gauge is an important factor for achieving excellent machining precision
  • Linear guides and large preloaded ball screws are low maintenance and extremely sturdy
  • The motorized R-axis simplifies the precise stop-height set-up
  • Lateral positioning of back gauge fingers on dual, smooth-running linear guides
