Material Tracking Device for Press Brakes "Followers UP"

Improving the safety and productivity of press brake operations! There were challenges such as unexpected workpiece bouncing during bending operations and poor productivity when processing large sheets with multiple people, leading to defective products due to workpiece buckling. Therefore, we introduced the material following device for press brakes, 'Followers UP'. This eliminated workpiece bouncing, allowing for safe operations, and removed the need for overhead work, resulting in increased productivity. It also contributed to a reduction in defective products. 【Case Study of Problem Solving】 <Problems> ■ Unexpected workpiece bouncing during bending operations ■ Poor productivity when processing large sheets with multiple people ■ Occurrence of defective products due to workpiece buckling <Solution> ■ By introducing 'Followers UP', workpiece bouncing is eliminated, enabling safe operations ■ The removal of overhead work leads to increased productivity ■ Reduction in defective products Basic Information 【Effects】 ■ With a power of up to 150kgm torque to lift sheets, it prevents bouncing accidents, allowing operators to work safely ■ Large sheet processing can be done by one person ■ Reduced operator fatigue, decreased work time, and significantly increased productivity ■ Cost reduction is also possible ■ Can be used on multiple press brakes simply by attaching a power connector and linear scale
