HS 1703 Press Brake

Built on the solid foundation of the HFE M2 Series, Amada’s HS press brake series includes additional production-enhancing features and an innovative touchscreen NC Control. Overall design improvements result in an eco-friendly series that provide maximum performance and ease of use. Equipped with an energy saving drive — the inverter on the HS series reflects Amada’s ongoing commitment to environmental protection. The new drive system uses a frequency inverter that controls the motor pump and ensures efficiency by operating only when necessary. The system continually monitors and self-regulates bending requirements — this translates to using 20% less energy, a significant reduction in maintenance requirements, less oil consumption, lower noise levels and an increase in reliability.

Features of the HS 1703 include:

• Numeric Control (NC) – The AB PAD is equipped with an intuitive touchscreen interface. Users can also remotely monitor the operation of the machine, transfer programs and perform diagnostics.
• Multiple Axis Backgauge – The light weight but rigid design allows for high speed and precise positioning. With the gauging capacity of up to 40", large components can be easily processed. In the 6-axis version, the modules L1 L2 and Y1 Y2 are programmable independently, offering greater backgauge flexibility.
• SGRIP Punch Holders – Allows the brake operator to change punches on the press brake quickly and safely without requiring a wrench. The patented SGRIP design dramatically decreases tool changeover time, thereby increasing bending productivity.
