Automatic metal sheet bending machine

Customer Benefits

The AFEX PB-2000 significantly reduces production time while maintaining consistent precision across identical products. The 13-axis synchronized control system enables highly accurate execution of complex bending shapes. A reinforced frame and industrial-grade components ensure long service life and stable performance. Thanks to the high level of automation, labor costs are reduced and overall production costs are optimized.

Why Does the AFEX PB-2000 Have a Higher Price?

The AFEX PB-2000 is not a conventional press brake—it is a fully automated, high-precision industrial bending center. Its price is justified by the following factors:

1. Advanced Automation Level

Equipped with 13-axis synchronized CNC control, the machine performs complex bending operations without operator intervention. Expansion up to 64 axes via EtherCAT high-speed industrial bus is possible—functionality unavailable in standard press brakes.

2. Superior Precision and Stable Quality

• Bending accuracy: ±0.15 mm

• Angle accuracy: ±0.5°

These values ensure consistent quality in serial and mass production with minimal human influence.

3. Heavy-Duty Industrial Structure

The machine features:

• Approx. 17,000 kg total weight

• High-strength welded steel frame

• Stress-relief annealing treatment

• Precision machining on large CNC portal machines

This guarantees deformation-free operation under high loads.

4. Wide Material and Thickness Range

Capable of bending at full length:

• Cold-rolled steel: 2.0 mm

• Stainless steel (SS304): 1.5 mm

• Aluminum: 2.5 mm

• Minimum thickness: 0.35 mm

Making it a universal solution for diverse production needs.

5. Complex Bending Capabilities

Supports:

• Acute, obtuse, and straight angles

• U-shapes and closed profiles

• Return bends

• Radius and arc bending

• Complex geometrical forms

All achieved without special tooling, purely through software programming.

6. Intelligent CNC Programming & Simulation

AFEX CNC system offers:

• Offline programming from 2D/3D files

• Full 3D simulation and collision detection

• Tool interference prevention

• Cloud-based monitoring and service support

This minimizes errors and material waste.

7. Long-Term Economic Benefits

Despite higher initial investment:

• Labor demand is reduced

• Production speed increases

• Scrap and rework decrease

• Cost per part is lowered
