BALL SCREW ELECTRIC PRESS BRAKE EVO I

Ball Screw-Driven Electric Press Brake for Precise, Quiet, and Energy-Efficient Sheet Metal Bending EVO I

Product Concept: Fully Electric Press Brake Technology with Ball Screw Drive Instead of Hydraulics

The EVO I is a fully electric press brake with a servo-driven ball screw drive for modern sheet metal processing. The focus is on a concept that consistently replaces classic hydraulic components: no hydraulic oil, no filters, no sealing issues, no typical leakage topics. This results in a bending solution that operates especially cleanly, with low maintenance requirements and high operational reliability. At the same time, the ball screw drive delivers very high positioning accuracy, allowing bends to be produced reproducibly and with process stability. In practice, this means: the machine is ideal for companies that want to manufacture recurring parts with consistent quality, but also for businesses with frequent item changes and short setup times. The combination of high repeat accuracy, quiet operation, and lower energy consumption makes the EVO I a future-oriented solution for metal fabrication.

The Most Important Advantages of the EVO I in Daily Operation

Work Oil-Free and Quietly

The EVO I is designed as a fully electric system. This ensures a clean working environment without oil mist and without oil-related maintenance tasks. At the same time, the system operates especially quietly because typical hydraulic noise is eliminated and the movement is controlled via the servo-driven mechanism. This improves working conditions and supports consistent quality because operators can stay focused for longer periods.

Low Maintenance Costs and High Availability

Without hydraulics, several components that require regular attention in classic systems are eliminated. This reduces downtime, lowers service effort, and improves machine availability. For many manufacturers, this point is decisive when it comes to sustainable cost per part.

Exceptional Precision Through Ball Screw Drive

The servo-electric ball screw drive enables very precise, repeatable movements. This produces consistent bending results, stable angles, and high repeat accuracy even in series production. This is especially important when tighter tolerances are required or when components must fit into assemblies later on.

High Speed and Ergonomic Operation

Depending on the version, the EVO I can operate at high speed and can be designed for dynamic workflows in sheet metal fabrication. Ergonomic details support sheet handling, reduce physical strain, and increase process reliability during loading and positioning.

EVO I Configurations: Bending Lengths, Press Force, and Axes

The EVO I is available in several sizes, typically with bending lengths of 1300 mm, 1600 mm, and 2100 mm and press force ranges from 40 t to 60 t. As standard, the machine is designed with 4 axes, Y1, Y2, X, R, and can be expanded with Z1 and Z2 as required. This allows the press brake to be flexibly adapted to different part portfolios, from simple angle parts to more complex components with changing backgauge positions.

Why a Ball Screw-Driven Press Brake Reduces Production Costs

An electric press brake with a ball screw drive has two direct advantages in cost calculation. First, maintenance is reduced because there are no hydraulic-specific wear points. Second, energy efficiency improves because the drive operates on demand. In reality, this pays off especially in three situations: with high machine utilization, with frequent setup changes, and in production where consistent repeat accuracy reduces scrap and rework. Especially companies that consistently optimize the laser cutting and bending process benefit from a fully electric solution because the machine runs fast, clean, and stable. This increases delivery reliability and improves planning security.

What the EVO I Is Especially Suitable For

The EVO I is ideal for manufacturers who want to produce sheet metal parts in a short time, with stable angles and high repeat accuracy. Typical applications are enclosures, covers, brackets, consoles, machine parts, and general sheet metal assemblies. With the available bending lengths and 40 t to 60 t press force, the machine is especially attractive for companies with small to medium-sized components where speed, precision, and low operating costs are decisive.
