Hybrid press brake B3

CNC6-axis5-axis

Overview
The B3 press brake combines adaptive technologies, a hybrid direct‑drive architecture and scalable automation to provide a compact, flexible solution for dynamic sheet‑metal production. Integrated motion control, adaptive compensation and Salvagnini software reduce setup time and scrap while enabling high productivity.

Product overview

• Range: approx. 20 models — capacities 80–400 t; ram stroke 300–450 mm; table lengths up to ~6100 mm depending on model.
• Hybrid Direct Drive: brushless motors with hydraulic features for energy efficiency, high approach/return speeds and controlled bending force.
• Footprint optimisation: sliding doors and compact peripherals minimise floor space while maintaining accessibility.

Key features

• Backgauges: 4–9 axis options on linear guides for precision and production flexibility.
• Front sliding shelves: pair supporting up to 120 kg for ergonomic sheet handling.
• FLW sheet follower (optional): recommended for large/heavy parts, capacity ~150 kg each.
• Dual monitor and data part reader for automatic program selection via barcode/DataMatrix/QR.
• LED work area lighting and advanced safety systems (LSB laser + HD camera, Radar safety options).
• Direct Drive ram control: two independent brushless motors for optimised energy use and fast approach/return (up to 250 mm/s on many models).

Automation

• ATA / ATA.L — automatic tool length adjusters for upper and lower tools to speed tool changes and support kit production.
• MVM — variable‑opening die that adapts the V‑opening automatically according to programmed parameters (thickness/radius variations).
• AU‑TO — automatic upper/lower tool changer to automate complete tool set‑ups and optimise production flow.

Adaptive systems and software

• S‑CROWNING — mechanical crowning for consistent bending along the full bend length.
• AMS (Angle Measurement System) — laser angle measurement for springback compensation and process monitoring.
• TFC2.0 / MAC3.0 — integrated adaptive modules to reduce scrap and manual corrections.
• FACE, PRESSTUDIO, STREAM, OPS, LINKS — HMI, 2D bending programming, programming suite, modular production management and IoT connectivity for ERP/MRP integration.

Automation / Integration possibilities

• Robotised bending cells and Frame Bender integrations for unmanned or highly automated operation.
• Flexible Smart Job Shop (FSJ) — multi‑machine cells linked by software, sorting devices, robots, transfers and AMRs for flexible lot/kit production.
