HFE M2 5020

Built on the solid foundation of the HFE series, Amada’s new HFE M2 press brake models include additional production-enhancing features and an innovative touch-screen AB PAD interface. 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 HFE M2 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.

The HFE M2 series includes a large open height, large throat depth, a narrow lower beam and a large distance between the side frames. This innovative series also offers several key benefits including improved user-friendly operation, energy-saving features and process range expansion. These, in turn, lead to greater efficiency and profitability. The HFE M2 series is also equipped with Amada’s patented instant reactive beam, which ensures constant parallel deflection of both the upper and lower beams — providing precise bend angle accuracy along the full length of the machine.

The HFE’s AB PAD NC introduces an intuitive touch-screen man/machine interface. Users can also remotely monitor the operation of the machine, transfer programs and perform diagnostics. The key advantages of the powerful, easy to use AB PAD are:

• Interactive touch-screen
• Automatic program creation from a 2D representation of the workpieces
• Network ready
• Large program, tool and materials libraries
• Remote diagnostics capabilities
• Software updates via USB or internet
• Movable on three axes – adaptable to the requirements of the operator
• 56-ton capacity
• 82" maximum bend length
• 18.5" open height
• 7.87" stroke
• ±.0004" ram repeatability

To enhance performance while improving operator safety, HFE Series press brakes can be equipped with an automated sheet follower system. The optional automated SF75 sheet followers are ideal for processing heavy or large parts. Precisely managed by the NC control, this production-enhancing feature provides for greater accuracy and increased safety. Their capacity relieves the operator of difficult and arduous tasks and often eliminates the need for a second operator.

The HFE M2 series is engineered to require minimal maintenance and is capable of remote diagnostics. This provides monitoring and diagnostics by Amada, which can then be analyzed by the operator or specialized service technicians.
