Press brakes offer high speeds

Both models incorporate the company’s automatic crowning system ASCG1

and the “REFLEX” frame deflection compensation system. Both new models

are designed to accept the optional Gasparini GPS4 angle control

system. These new models offer exceptionally high speeds in both ram

movement and back gauge movement. The “REFLEX” system allows complete

control over deflections encountered by the frame structure of the

press brake when bending. The “REFLEX” system corrects and compensates

for the issues of side frame deflection both in the vertical axis and

the horizontal or torsion axis of the side frames. This system

incorporates a unique and simple method totally independent of the

operator or CNC. It requires no adjustment and works in real time to

eliminate the inaccuracies inherent in other systems. The Gasparini

ACSG1 crowning system is incorporated into all XP and PSG models over

2.5 M as standard equipment. The system is comprised of both digital

electronics and hydraulic control of the deflection encountered on the

bed and ram during bending.
