Simple & Flexible Controls on every Betenbender Press Brake:

Use either a convenient multi-switch control panel or a 3-position fully guarded foot switch.

Accuracy:

Every Betenbender Press Brake Machine is thoroughly inspected and tested. Parallelism is maintained between bed and ram, or at a preset angle, by using precise automatic leveling controls. Parallelism is maintained at ± .002" in low speed.

The ram bottom reversal point is controlled by precise limit switches referenced off the bed. This isolates housing deflections which can interfere with accuracy.

The side situated handwheel of the Betenbender Press Brake sets the bottom limit of the ram stroke. Micrometer adjustment on the control end allows for tilting or paralleling of the ram. A bed referenced control monitors the actual distance between ram and bed, assuring repeatability independent of die wear or end plate deflection.

Versatility:

Betenbender’s Press Brakes have long, full tonnage stroke; adjustable length and selectable speed combinations; adjustable height for short stroke. A two-speed standard; three-speeds with infinitely adjustable low speed is optional. This option prevents sudden whip up of the work during bending operations.

Maintenance For Betenbender Press Brakes:

Clevis mounted cylinders eliminate cylinder binding by reducing the possibility of oil leaks. Pins and bushings do not rotate under load, resulting in much less wear than competitive products.

Easy Hydraulic System Maintenance:

The manifold assembly saves space and makes it easy to replace many components. The convenient work height makes the job easier.

Convenient Settings:

Readouts in increments of .001" allows recorded settings of closed heights.

Standard Components of Betenbenders Press Brakes:

The control system components, micro switches, clamp-type backgauge, hydraulic fluid and filter cartridges are all standard equipment, making routine maintenance easier.

Flexibility:

2-speed ram is electrically controlled. It lets you shift to a lower speed before coming into contact with sheet metal.

Control:

The ram stops at the point of reference and self-levels at the bottom of every stroke. Main control cabinet enclosures are mounted in the right housing containing magnetic, non-reversing motor starter and 110/120 volt control circuit.

Safety and Reliability comes with Betenbender's Press Brakes :

The control system operates at 110/120 volt using a minimum of circuitry. The system operates predominantly with American made electronics and American made motors.

Durability:

This Betenbender Press Brake has all-steel ends, rams and beds.

Electrical Equipment for the Betenbender Press Brakes :

Meets requirements of NFPA79. It includes drip proof, continuous duty 45º C ambient hydraulic pump motor wired for 230 or 460 volt, 3 phase, 60 hertz.

Ram Level:

Is accomplished by two hydraulic systems. One for each cylinder, which keeps them parallel. Self-levels at bottom of each stroke even if hydraulic system is out of adjustment.
