Economic CNC Press Brake for Sale

An economic CNC press brake with a TP10S controller is a cost-effective sheet metal bending machine that provides semi-automated programming and operational consistency without the high investment cost of a full-featured, advanced CNC system.

It’s designed to bridge the gap between simple, manual press brakes and complex, high-end production machines.

An economic CNC press brake with a TP10S controller is a cost-effective sheet metal bending machine that provides semi-automated programming and operational consistency without the high investment cost of a full-featured, advanced CNC system.1It’s designed to bridge the gap between simple, manual press brakes and complex, high-end production machines.Components and PositioningThe term “economic” mainly refers to the machine’s base design and the controller’s functionality compared to premium models.

1. The Economic Press Brake Machine

This typically refers to a Torsion Bar or a basic Synchronized Hydraulic press brake structure.

Structure: Utilizes a straightforward, robust frame that is less expensive to manufacture than advanced frame designs.Axes: It usually controls two axes (Y and X) using an NC (Numeric Control) system but upgrades the interface and programming with the TP10S.Torsion Bar: In some economic models, a mechanical torsion bar synchronizes the movement of the left and right hydraulic cylinders Y1 and Y2, which is a reliable but less precise method than fully independent hydraulic synchronization on high-end machines.

2. The TP10S Controller

The controller is the key element that adds “CNC-like” capability while maintaining an economic price point. Touch Screen Interface: Features a 2 10.1 inch color touch screen, making it much more user-friendly than older text-based numerical controllers.

3 Program Memory: Stores a significant number of programs, allowing operators to recall complex bending sequences for recurring jobs instantly.

4 Angle Programming: The controller can accept the target bend angle as input and automatically calculate the necessary ram depth (BDC), which is a huge step up from older systems that required manual trial-and-error depth setting.

5 Motor Control: The TP10S primarily drives a high-precision servo motor on the back gauge X axis, which significantly improves material positioning accuracy compared to manual or AC motor-driven back gauges. Benefits of an Economic CNC SystemThe combination is ideal for small to medium-sized fabrication shops that need improved efficiency and repeatability for a varied job mix.

6 Cost Efficiency: Provides key CNC benefits—programmability and memory—at a lower initial investment than a full European/American-standard CNC system (like Delem or Cybelec).Increased Repeatability: The precise control over the back gauge position and the automated ram depth calculation reduces human error, leading to more consistent parts.

7 Reduced Setup Time: Programming the bend sequence, saving tool parameters, and automatically positioning the back gauge drastically cuts down on setup and first-part trial time.
