Mac-Tech stands at the forefront of the fabrication equipment industry, known for delivering advanced solutions that empower metalworking businesses to achieve greater efficiency, quality, and profitability. As production demands intensify and tolerances tighten, fabricators require machinery that not only keeps pace but sets new benchmarks for performance. The SafanDarley E-Brake series—offered by Mac-Tech—represents a transformative leap in servo-electric press brake technology, making it an essential investment for progressive shops seeking precision, speed, and sustainable operation.
Elevate Your Metal Bending Precision with SafanDarley E-Brake Technology
SafanDarley’s E-Brake servo-electric press brakes are engineered for precision metal bending, offering unparalleled control over every stage of the forming process. Unlike traditional hydraulic systems, the E-Brake series utilizes advanced servo-electric drives, delivering exact force application and repeatable accuracy across a wide range of materials and thicknesses. This innovation ensures that even the most complex bends are executed with exceptional consistency, reducing scrap and rework.
Ideal for aerospace, electronics, medical device manufacturing, and other industries where accuracy is non-negotiable, the E-Brake series is available in various models and tonnages to suit diverse production requirements. Whether tackling intricate components or high-volume parts, these machines provide the flexibility and performance modern fabrication environments demand.
Achieve Faster Cycle Times and Increased Throughput
Production efficiency is a cornerstone of profitability, and the SafanDarley E-Brake delivers a significant edge with its rapid cycle times. The direct servo-electric drive system responds instantly to operator commands, minimizing lag and maximizing productivity. This results in faster bends and reduced downtime between cycles, enabling shops to complete more jobs in less time.
For operations focused on high-mix, low-volume runs or those managing just-in-time schedules, the E-Brake’s quick setup and changeover capabilities further accelerate throughput. By reducing setup complexity and streamlining workflow, fabricators can respond to customer demands with agility, all while maintaining premium quality standards.
Lower Operating Costs with Energy-Efficient Servo-Electric Drives
Traditional press brakes often consume significant amounts of energy due to continuous hydraulic pump operation. In contrast, the SafanDarley E-Brake’s servo-electric technology delivers power only when and where it is needed, reducing overall energy consumption by up to 50%. This translates to immediate savings on utility costs and supports sustainability initiatives—an increasingly important consideration for today’s manufacturers.
The absence of hydraulic oil not only eliminates related disposal and replacement expenses but also reduces the risk of leaks and contamination, leading to a cleaner, more environmentally friendly shop floor. Over time, these efficiencies contribute to a lower total cost of ownership and a faster return on investment.
Superior Bending Accuracy for High-Quality Results
Consistency is critical in metal fabrication, and the E-Brake series is designed to deliver precise, repeatable bends with every cycle. The servo-electric drive system ensures exact positioning and force distribution, supported by integrated CNC controls that allow for real-time adjustments and program storage. This high level of control is especially valuable when working with tight tolerances or forming delicate, high-value materials.
Advanced features such as automatic angle measurement and compensation systems further enhance accuracy, reducing the need for manual intervention and post-processing corrections. The result is a finished product that meets or exceeds customer specifications, bolstering your shop’s reputation for quality.
Enhanced Operator Safety and Ergonomics
Operator well-being is a top priority, and the SafanDarley E-Brake integrates multiple safety features to create a secure and comfortable working environment. The quiet, oil-free operation reduces noise levels, while the ergonomic design provides optimal accessibility to the bending area. Integrated safety light curtains and control systems protect operators during machine operation, ensuring compliance with the latest safety standards.
The intuitive user interface and touch-screen controls simplify programming and operation, reducing training time and minimizing the risk of operator error. By combining safety with ease of use, the E-Brake supports a more productive and satisfied workforce.
Minimize Maintenance and Maximize Uptime
Downtime can be costly, but the E-Brake’s servo-electric design minimizes the need for routine maintenance. With fewer moving parts and no hydraulic circuits, there is less wear and tear, resulting in longer intervals between service requirements. The elimination of hydraulic oil also removes the need for regular fluid checks and replacements, further streamlining maintenance tasks.
Mac-Tech’s dedicated support team ensures that installation, training, and ongoing service are seamlessly managed. Remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance options are available to further reduce unplanned downtime and keep your operation running at peak performance.
