PRESS BRAKE EVO APD

Press Brake EVO APD – Productive Bending with Greendrive, Precision, and Industry 4.0 Integration

Why Choose EVO APD?

The EVO APD Press Brake by Evomatec combines servo-hydraulic drive technology (Greendrive) with intelligent CNC control and full Industry 4.0 connectivity.
The result: shorter cycle times, consistent angular precision, and measurably lower energy consumption — ideal for automated production cells and demanding continuous operation.


Performance That Pays Off – Efficiency at the Touch of a Button

  • Fast approach, bending, and return speeds for higher throughput.

  • Greendrive saves energy: When no axis movement is required, the hydraulics stop — the servo motor activates only when needed.

  • Constant process quality through precise axis guidance and dynamic pressure control.

  • Automatic speed change 2 mm above sheet height ensures safe and smooth penetration.


Technical Core Specifications

  • CNC axes: up to 6 (Y1, Y2, X, R, Z1, Z2) – multi-axis backgauge with R-axis for height adjustment.

  • Positioning accuracy: up to ±0.01 mm (depending on configuration).

  • Automatic crowning: compensates frame deflection for uniform angles across the entire bending length.

  • Robot-ready: interfaces and layouts for tandem or robotic cells.

  • CE safety: light curtains, protective guards, dual-hand control, and emergency stop.


CNC Operation – Graphical, Fast, and Reliable

2D Graphical Control

The system features a 15″ touchscreen with fully graphical programming, including tool and material databases.
It automatically calculates bending force, sequence, allowance, radius, and compensation.

Real-time collision checking and angle control ensure process reliability (external angle sensors can be integrated).
Network/USB connectivity, remote maintenance, and backup functions are standard.


Control System Options

  • Delem DA-58T: 2D touchscreen, automatic bending sequences, crowning templates, and collision detection.

  • CybTouch 15 PS: compact 2D operation with guided assistants, closed/open-loop valve control, and WLAN diagnostics.

  • Beckhoff CNC (optional): PC-based platform open for full line integration and data communication.


Backgauge and Metal Forming Performance

  • Planetary gearbox for durable, repeatable accuracy — even with complex geometries.

  • XR backgauge: height-adjustable fingers enable fast reconfiguration between draw, box, and multi-bend operations.

  • Dynamic crowning: software-controlled system prevents angle deviations and reduces post-processing.


Ergonomics and Safety

  • Bending aid: supports up to 300 kg, tiltable up to 30°, automatic height adjustment — relieves the operator with large sheets.

  • Foot pedal control allows hands-free handling during bending.

  • CE-certified safety package: laser light curtains, integrated safety logic, and protective housings — also for tandem setups.


Tooling and Setup

  • European standard clamping system (upper/lower tools) for maximum compatibility.

  • Hydraulic quick clamping and lever-fastening system for short setup times.

  • Evomatec Multi-V lower dies for variable material thicknesses and radii — Z-bends possible thanks to a narrow lower beam.

  • Extensive range of punches, dies, radius, and flattening tools available.


Digitally Connected – Ready for Industry 4.0

The EVO APD integrates seamlessly into smart factory environments with Ethernet/USB connectivity, remote support, and centralized data management for programs and tooling.

It connects to robotic cells and MES/ERP systems, enabling live feedback on production, quality, and runtime data.
Integrated sensors provide the foundation for predictive maintenance by monitoring hydraulic and drive system conditions.


Typical Application Fields

  • Sheet metal and fabrication: enclosures, brackets, panels, and covers.

  • Facade and HVAC industries: long profiles and thin sheet metal components.

  • Machine and equipment manufacturing: high-precision serial and small-batch production.

  • Automotive and commercial vehicles: consistent precision for structural and functional parts.


Your Advantages with the EVO APD

  • Higher output: faster cycles, reduced setup times, automated bending sequences.

  • Lower energy consumption: Greendrive and demand-controlled servo-hydraulics.

  • Improved quality: dynamic crowning and precise backgauge system.

  • Simplified operation: 2D graphics, guided assistants, and angle measurement integration.

  • Future-ready: Industry 4.0 interfaces, robot-ready, and remote maintenance.


Conclusion

The Evomatec Press Brake EVO APD combines productivity, energy efficiency, and process reliability in a user-friendly industrial design.
Whether for single-part production or high-volume series manufacturing, the EVO APD ensures stable angles, clean edges, and predictable cycle times — all at minimal operating costs.
