A fully electric drive, asymmetric crowning, smart controller and outstanding precision and speed make the AMADA EGB-1303ATCe a high-performance press brake for exceptionally efficient, cost-effective sheet metal processing.

The AMADA EGB-1303ATCe has a fully electric drive, while the innovative clutch inversion mechanism enables the servo motor to deliver high speeds at low torque and vice versa. There is no need for any hydraulic oil or the associated oil changes, while energy consumption is regulated in response to requirements. At the same time, the pressure shafts and press beam benefit from direct force transmission, meaning that quick, precise movements are guaranteed during every phase of production. The solution also features asymmetric crowning thanks to the presence of two independent drives on the left and right. Linearity is maintained even when machining long sheet metal parts, thereby ensuring uniform, precise angles and dimensional accuracy. Another highlight takes the form of the revisited AMADA AMNC 4ie controller. This features the Smart Operation Pack with mobile tablet monitor. There is also a 360° camera that permanently monitors the backgauge and uses Augmented Reality (AR)-based comparisons for parts positioning accurate to the nearest millimeter.

High-precision repeatability

What is more, the EGB-1303ATCe also excels thanks to its extremely high-speed axis movements and short cycle times. Its ATC tool changer is a market leader when it comes to speed and holds 30 percent more tools than the previous version. This increased capacity represents a marked flexibility boost during production. By also acting as a sidegauge and permitting oblique orientations, the innovative 3-finger backgauge simplifies precise positioning even when it comes to handling complex contours.
The system also stands out for its exceptional precision: The upper crosspiece can be input in increments of 0.001 mm.This extreme precision provides the basis for uniform, high-quality bending results and ensures the process stability that is needed for the manufacture of demanding sheet-metal components.

From simple bended parts to 19-inch housings for audio technology, and on to fans, switch cabinets and indoor, touch-operated display steles – the product portfolio of BVS Blechtechnik GmbH in Böblingen includes a number of extremely complex metal components, whose manufacture demands outstanding precision and quality. This long-standing company has been working with AMADA technology for many years and has been using an AMADA EGB-1303ATCe press brake since the end of 2024. “The system is quite simply powerful, smart and functional,” says Maximilian Steiner, Managing Director of BVS Blechtechnik GmbH. “It is fully electric in operation and guarantees consistent, precise production thanks to the asymmetric crowning mechanism.” Taken together, the combined machine features generate considerable value added in practical use: “With its Augmented Reality, 3-finger backgauge, automatic angle measurement, automatic tool changer, voice control and VPSS 4ie offline programming, the AMADA EGB-1303ATCe is a press brake that is child’s play to operate and represents a way of overcoming the serious shortage of skilled labor,” explains Steiner. “Another bonus in practical use is that the servo technology cuts down maintenance times and also reduces machine downtimes.”
