The Roper Whitney AutoMax Plus offers all of the same features and functions of the standard AutoMax, in addition to providing increased capacity. With the most versatility, the Plus bends material up to 14 gauge. This sheet metal brake has additional free space on the inside of the machines which allows for larger flanges to be put inside of the machine while forming the opposite side. It combines automated bending of angles up to 145 degrees, material clamping, and material support into a single CNC controlled system employing wing bending techniques.
Standard Features
- This machine features integrated sheet support and material positioning. Work pieces are fully supported by the back gauge tables beneath the clamping C frames, and automatically positioned to an accuracy of +/- .004″. The back gauge is positioned by a servo motor for low noise operation.
- Five conveniently spaced fingers provide positive contact with the sheet edge at all times and the fingers will travel down to 0.394″ position. A set of small parts back gauge fingers are included as standard. Maximum back gauge travel can be reached in less than 2 seconds. The standard back gauge depth is 49.
- Programmable hydraulic radius adjustment of the clamping is standard with the AMP2114. Each C frame, of the AMP2114, can be manually adjusted by movement of the blue lever to compensate for varying material forces.
