Features
Increased
Productivity
The CNC1000 is an automatic gauging and ram control system
for press brakes. It can virtually double press brake
output while increasing part uniformity and reducing scrap.
Simple
Programming
Programming the CNC1000 is a simple sequential process
which requires no special or lengthy operator training.
Automec's attention to human engineering allows the operator
to use the CNC1000 with maximum efficiency and confidence.
Quick
Setup
After a simple reference procedure in which both the gauge
and the ram are calibrated, the CNC1000 will precisely
position the gauge bar to programmed dimensions. If the
metal being formed varies in thickness, temper or sheer
size, dimensions can quickly be adjusted on the controller.
Progressive
Forming
The gauge automatically positions for each consecutive
bend. As the ram cycles, precise angle control is maintained.
As the ram recover, the gauge moves to the next programmed
position. The operator progressively forms each flange
and angle until the part is complete. The gauge automatically
returns to the first programmed position and the operator
begins forming the next part.

Total System Accuracy
Any
system can position accurately in a free state but "Total
System Accuracy" refers to what happens when the
workpiece is pressed against the gauge bar. The mechanical
structure of the gauging system must be rigid enough to
match the positioning accuracy of the electronics. The
CNC1000 can display so you can verify that the gauge bar
has not lost position.
Holding
Power of Disc Brakes
Autoguage uses multiple drive systems spaced apart depending
on the size of the press brake. Autogauge locks all drives
in position with a holding force of 400lbs. minimum. Since
competitive systems rely on the electric drive motor to
hold the gauge bar in position, a force applied against
the gauge causes the system to move away from the programmed
dimension and can put undue load on the motor and amplifier.
Machined
Gauge Bars
Gauge bars up to 11' are machined straight within .005"
on the reference edge. Gauge fingers and work blocks can
be moved side to side without loss of reference.
Max-Adjust
Flip Fingers
Max-Adjust Flip Finger are of a heavy duty design with
built-in shock protection. The graduated fine adjustment
knob allows 1 ¼" of horizontal adjustment.
The flip finger can be locked so as not to flip. These
fingers have a fixed step with two gauging surfaces of
0.1" and 0.4".
Micro-Adjust
Flip Fingers
Micro-Adjust Flip Fingers are uniquely designed to work
on the die as well as far back. They are horizontally
adjustable +/- .020". The gauging tip can be rotated
to any of four positions to produce gauging surfaces of
1/8" or ¾". Each tip has two gauging
surfaces precisely spaced 1" apart.
Seven
Gauge Sizes
Automec offers a comprehensive line of seven backgauge
sizes that are compatible with the CNC1000 Control. These
can accommodate press brakes with 2' to 24' beds. All
systems are driven by closed loop DC Servo motors using
a precise position sensor with .001" resolution.
