PERFECT COMBINATION OF DURABILITY AND PRECISION:
Our model AB press brakes are available from 100 to 1,500 tons up to 24’. The formidable hydra-mechanical drive system not only provides full tonnage across the bed but also ram repeatability of +,- .001” across the length of the machine.

The AB press brake is specifically designed for full length forming, off-center forming, punching, blanking and most other applications. No CNC or gauging is standard on the model AB brake but all levels of CNC are optionally available. We allow our customers to customize exactly what level of sophistication they require.

YOUR CHOICE OF BASIC OR STATE OF THE ART CONTROLS:

The AB press brake intentionally comes
standard with very simple non-cnc mechanical
limit switches to control the ram travel. We
start with the most basic ram control so we can
customize the machine to each of our customer’s
needs. Whether the requirement is simplicity
or state of the art 2D/3D graphics and multi
axis servo gauging systems, we can provide
any level of control.

UNLIMITED PARTS AVAILABILITY:
All Standard Industrial machines come standard with off the shelf components that are available everywhere in North America. We use no proprietary components that force you to come back to us for parts. In your manual you will have the original manufacturer’s name and part number of each component.

WARRANTY:
5 Year Parts + 5 Year Limited Onsite Labor + 2 Year CNC/PLC Warranty. This warranty includes a 5 year limited onsite labor warranty and a 2 year CNC/PLC Warranty. Unlimited lifetime telephone support is included at no charge. If during the first 5 years you have an unresolved issue and telephone troubleshooting has been fully exhausted, we will provide onsite labor to take care of the problem. This warranty is based on 3 shifts a day and 24 hour days. Every machine is also available with our optional 7 Year Extended Warranty that extends the parts warranty by 2 years. NO OTHER MANUFACTURER MATCHES OUR WARRANTY.

PRESS BRAKE AND STRAIGHT SIDE PRESS CAPABILITY:
With our hydra-mechanical drive system providing full tonnage the length of the bed, optionally the model AB press brakes has the ability to be used with traditional press brake tooling and optionally can have either permanent or removable flanges for press die applications. There is more for this unique feature in the options pages.

SERVICE:
We have service capability everywhere in the contiguous United States which can only be expected for a U.S. made machine. We also supply free telephone support for the lifetime of the machine. You talk directly to the people that make your machine.

MANUAL RAM CLAMPING:
American or New Standard Style Ram Clamping Extremely heavy duty, spring loaded die clamps for easy, fast die change. Accepts all American style standard and precision ground tooling. All press brakes can be ordered optionally with Wila (or equiv.) style quick-change powered ram clamping systems and European clamping systems in lieu of manual system.

MANUAL TONNAGE CONTROL:
The model AB press brake comes standard with manual tonnage control that allows the operator to choose tonnage output. Optional programmable tonnage is available with CNC that can be programmed for individual jobs.

EXTREMELY HEAVY DUTY BED CONSTRUCTION:
Includes American Style Die Groove as standard. Incredibly heavy duty lower beams are essential to any well-made press brake to provide the best deflection possible. CNC crowning units are available optionally.

BED FEATURES AND T-SLOT SUPPORT ARMS:
The bed of the AB press brake includes a groove down the center of the brake bed to accept American style tooling. We can also supply European style die holders. A t-slot across the front edge of the brake bed is included to allow the (2) standard 24” works supports to slide left to right the length of the bed.

SAFETY:
The Hand/Foot safety sequence with footswitch is an O.S.H.A. approved 2 hand pedestal control with 3 position footswitch that comes standard on all press brakes. Available optionally are light curtains, Keyence scanning systems and AKAS laser systems. As well as interlocking, physical barriers across back of machine if needed.

24” WORK SUPPORTS:
Each machine comes standard with 24” work supports that can be adjusted vertically to match tool height and can be adjusted left to right the full length of the bed via the included t-slot across the front edge of the bed.

T-SLOT ACROSS FRONT EDGE OF BED:
A 5/8” precision machined t-slot runs the full length of the brake bed. This slot allows the standard 24” support arms to slide left to right the full length of the bed.

MANIFOLD CENTRALIZED LUBE SYSTEM:
This simple and efficient lubrication system brings all the lube points of the machine to a centrally located area on the back of the press brake. Optionally available is our automatic lubrication system that comes with a warning light when the grease gets low and an auto-shut-off that stops the machine when the reservoir is empty.

HAND/FOOT SAFETY SEQUENCE WITH FOOTSWITCH:
This OSHA approved system for a single operator allows operation with either the included (2) hand palm buttons or palm buttons combined with the footswitch. Optional light curtains, laser systems or scanning systems are also available.
