Electric Press Brake provides 88 tons of bending force.

Press Release Summary:




Powered by dual electric motors, Xcite 80 E offers seamless speed transitions without lag times. Fast Bend+ safety system enables upper tool to be positioned very close to metal sheet without placing operator in any danger. Providing speed, power, and constant pressure along entire bending length, Force Dynamic Drive ensures that minimal deflections occur in both upper and lower beam, enabling Xcite to bend within tolerance of ±25 arc min, and with repeatability of ±0.000098 in.



Original Press Release:



Bystronic Introduces Xcite 80 E, Electric Press Brake



(Elgin, IL) – Bystronic introduces the Xcite 80 E, a new and innovative press brake that exemplifies both speed and ease of operation. The Xcite 80 E is powered by dual electric motors, enabling high acceleration and seamless speed transitions without lag times.  The Xcite 80 E is 2.5 times faster than a hydraulic press brake in completing comparable bends. Using the Fast Bend+ safety system, the upper tool can be quickly positioned very close to the metal sheet without placing the operator in any danger. Only when ready to process does the machine seamlessly switch over to bending speed. The Xcite 80 E is a high-speed press brake capable of complimenting the most demanding of part volumes generated by today’s high-speed laser cutting machines such as Fiber lasers. With it’s 88 tons of bending force capability, the Xcite 80 E is also powerful enough to meet the full range of sheet metal applications across the entire table length.



The Xcite is highly accurate, thanks to Bystronic’s proprietary Force Dynamic Drive, which provides speed, power and constant pressure along the entire bending length. This ensures that minimal deflections occur in both the upper and lower beam, enabling Xcite to bend within a top-of-class tolerance of ± 25 arc minutes, and with a simply incredible repeatability of ±0.000098 inches.



The user-friendly Xcite 80E electric press brake takes advantage of the advanced Bystronic ByVision control package already used with laser-cutting and waterjet-cutting machines. This gives every user the ability to obtain excellent results with only a few entries on the Xcite’s 22-inch touch screen control panel. Prior training requirements are minimal: beginners are guided safely through the programming operation and supported with a high level of automated features. Designed for flexibility and high performance, ByVision also provides more experienced professionals with the ability to apply their knowledge and skills, and define their own limits for the bending technology.
