Tech Update
TruDisk solid-state laser, as well as a laser-cutting system, a laser evacuation unit and a beam-guard system.
The machines offer a completely redesigned drive technology, dubbed Delta Drive, to move the electric punching head and the laser along the Y axis while the sheet moves in the opposite direction. Powered by two servomotors, this arrangement enables the machine to accelerate far faster in the Y axis and eliminates the need to move the sheet or worktable.
Also included: automatic sorting of finished parts to 7 by 7 in.—parts move sent down a chute and can be sorted into a series of four boxes positioned below the machine.

North American Debut of Amada’s New Robotic-Bending System
The HG 1303 Rm robotic-bending system from Amada, which made its North American debut at FABTECH, was designed specifically for processing large parts that typically require two operators to safely handle, or are difficult to manage by a single operator. The HG 1303 servo-hydraulic press brake features an advanced crowning system in the lower beam, combined with an automatic bend-angle measurement system to ensure optimum accuracy. Its Dual Servo Power (DSP) drive system maximizes approach, bend and return speeds, and a new, highly rigid frame design features (reportedly) a larger open height than other machines in its class. The increased distance between tooling and greater stroke length yields a large processing area and enables deep box bending while making part extraction quick and easy.
Included with the press brake is a thickness-detection system (TDS) designed to maintain bending accuracy while processing materials that vary in type, thickness and grain direction. The TDS senses any variation in material thickness and automatically compensates ram-depth position to ensure precise bending results. Amada’s HG series brakes also are equipped with BI (Bend Indicator) sensors that use probe and laser technology. BI-S (probe type) or BI-L (laser type) sensors result in trial-free bending. BI technology also boosts repeatability and reduces inspection and rework requirements.
