To predict the future
Automated Solutions
In today’s labor market it has become very difficult to find skilled labor and even harder to retain the skilled labor we have. The average age of our skilled labor force is increasing and not enough young talent is entering the field to balance the number of people retiring. To add to the pain, the prices of our raw materials have increased significantly. As young talent gains experience they will typically produce higher waste at a time where the cost of waste has never been higher. The cure to these business challenges is often automation.
Automated Solutions such as the R-Brake and the Mini Cell were designed to help Fabricators navigate these issues, increasing the hours available for your press brakes to produce without skilled labor available, providing parts to tight tolerances part after part and significantly reducing the waste produced.

R-Brake 130T
With the R-Brake, the press brake and the robot are integrated into one system. One of the advantages of the new R-Brake is a fully automated tool and gripper change that is connected to the machine. Together with the product, they can be programmed completely offline using SafanDarley’s RoboBend offline simulation software.
The robotic arm moves horizontally along a 6-metre long traverse at the top of the press brake. This makes it also possible to bend manually.
Mini Cell 35T
This 100% electric Mini Cell is characterised by its compactness, making it ideal for bending smaller sized parts. The optional automatic tool and gripper change function makes it possible to quickly switch between different products.
The E-Brake Mini Cell is equipped with a FANUC robot with a handling weight of 20 kg, a supply station for four product stacks, a delivery station and a discharge chute.
E-Brake C 200T Tool Mate
The E-Brake C 200T Ultra Tool Mate has a C-frame and is equipped with an external automatic and intelligent tool changer. This combination can offer you significant time savings when producing small batches. The tool changer ensures the automatic placement of the tools in the machine and thus provides extra efficiency and productivity.
The SafanDarley E-Control manages the tool change, ensuring that the tools are placed exactly in the right position and the intelligent software only makes the necessary changes and tools from the previous tool set-up are reused. This achieves considerably shorter changeover times. The tool storage magazine has a capacity of 32, 52 or 60 metres, which gives extensive storage for a variety of Upper and Lower tools.
