The new JMT press brake is equipped with segmented tooling and a multi V tooling die. This tooling configuration allows the operator to change the set-up in a matter of minutes. The press brake ram has a chain and peg configuration so the ram can be used to lift and change the tooling. -- The 3-D visual graphics show areas of interference. Designs can be adjusted before the parts go into production, which streamlines the process and saves time.

The heavy-duty construction of JMT press brakes provides for improved accuracy along the entire bend length of the machine. JMT press brakes are rated to tolerances of 0.0004 inches; the width of a human hair! A better part out of the press brake means a better fit up for downstream processes. -- If a part is out of tolerance, the compenent is not going to assemble properly for welding and other processes, which in turn would require handwork to correct the problem.

Custom specs and job parameters can be entered off-line, then are easily recalled by the machine operator using the press brakes’ CNC program and 3-D visual graphic display. When prototyping designs, operators can use the off-line feature to draw and model part bending geometries for multiple bends. -- The 3-D visual graphics show areas of interference. Designs can be adjusted before the parts go into production, which streamlines the process and saves time.

The press brake accuracy and repeatability coupled with the ease of programming are helping to save Alumasteel production time. The back gauge is programmed through the controller, which eliminates the need to stop the machine and manually adjust the back gauge with each part change. -- With the new press brake Alumasteel was able to just dial the job in each time and the part is really close the first time. On some parts, Alumasteel has been able to reduce production time by as much as half.
