The CNC control system is the brain of a modern press brake, managing all machine functions including ram position, backgauge movement, crowning compensation, and bending sequence execution. Leading CNC controller brands for press brakes include Delem from the Netherlands, ESA from Italy, and Cybelec from Switzerland. Each brand offers different strengths suited to different applications. Delem controllers, such as the DA-66T and DA-69T, feature 2D graphical touch screen programming and 3D visualization modes, with the DA-66T offering 2D programming that includes automatic bend sequence calculation and collision detection. Full 3D machine setup with multiple tool stations gives true feedback on product feasibility and handling, allowing operators to verify that the programmed bend sequence will not cause the workpiece to collide with the machine or tooling before bending any metal. Highly effective control algorithms optimize the press brake machine cycle and minimize setup time. The DA-66T features a 17-inch high-resolution color TFT touch screen, full Windows application suite, USB and peripheral interfacing, and interfaces for sensor bending and correction. ESA controllers offer modular design and cost-effective solutions, with multitouch screens and user-friendly interfaces. The ESA S860 features a 19-inch multitouch screen suitable for operators who prioritize visual feedback and intuitive programming. Cybelec controllers are known for robust hydraulic tuning and durability in heavy-tonnage applications, often paired with heavy-duty press brakes for sustained load control. For simple jobs where operators need to complete many setups quickly, a less feature-dense controller may actually be more productive than a high-end controller because it requires fewer screen taps per job. The right controller depends on the shop’s specific production mix: high-mix, low-volume shops benefit from simulation and programming features, while high-volume shops with repeat parts benefit from fast program recall and minimal keystrokes. Offline programming software integrated with CAD and CAM systems allows programming away from the machine, with programs transferred via USB, network, or cloud connection, maximizing production uptime. Our press brakes are available with multiple controller options including Delem DA66T, DA69T, ESA860, ESA875, and Cybelec systems.
