It is a 2-axis (X-R) ball screw fast backgauge operated by brushless motors, and installed on the side frames.
The rear gauge allows the possibility to place the sheet metal onto its stops, which are set to match the pre-established levels. In this way the bend depth to make is always correct. It is made up of a bar, parallel to the bending line, which perpendicularly translates (axis X). Two reference fingers are installed on the bar. They can be placed along the bar length.
The bar carries out a vertically controlled movement (axis R), which permits the fingers to adapt to the variations of the die height or the sheet metal edge.
The fingers have three hardened and ground stops in order to increase the bend length from 500 mm to 750 mm. Warcom back gauges are remarkably strong and rigid: they move on ball screws, and the transmissions move on hardened rack drives which guarantee high precision.
The high performances are obtained thanks to the Brushless motors. The fingers run on roller bearings guides; they can be adjusted from the front part of the machine, with the help of a tool bar which releases them pneumatically.

All WARCOM standard press brakes come with N. 2 CE frontal support arms which are easily handled horizontally and vertically.The supports help the operator in handling bulky metal sheets. The elegant and essential design is another point in favour of WARCOM press brakes.

As its standard equipment, Warcom has chosen to use the “Lazer-Safe” safety system. High productivity, simple manipulation of the material and maximum safety for the operator, are the goals that a modern safety system for press brakes, is to satisfy, respecting the EC directives and standards at all times.
The operator’s safety is guaranteed by two laser beams which run under and with the top ram. The moment the first laser beam reaches the mute point, the ram slows down and descends at work speed.
The work speed of 10mm/s is reached when the ram is almost touching the tools blocking device. 

FUNCTIONING PRINCIPLE
When one of the laser beam are obstructed (operator’s hand or sheet), the machine stops immediately. When obstacle is removed and after pressing the foot pedal again, the bending sequence can be completed. The so called “boxing” mode allows the production of boxes by interrupting the front and rear beams of the light guard; in such case the operator’s safety is guaranteed by the central laser beam which remains active and the geometry of the piece is still preserved.

The hydraulic system of the bending machines is well-dimensioned and does not have overheating problems, not even in very hard work conditions. Despite of this, Warcom has still decided to install as a standard item a heat exchanger on all its machines, which is definitely a big help when machine will be working in environments with extreme high temperature or humidity or in case of robotised cells having higher speed and operating 3 shifts.

Through the traditional crowning, the cylinders mounted at the lower beam in a “sandwich” version (consisting of three distinct plates) determine a crowning on the die which is calculated theoretically by the parameters input in the CNC. The bending precision reached with this system is considered to be at a satisfactory level and accepted by most of the operators.
The new DCS (Dynamic Crowning System) detects in an absolute way any minimum deformation of the structure and compensates in real time thus guaranteeing an excellent result of bending and parallelism. The DCS PLUS activates sensors capable of detecting the sheet thickness by integrating the exact resistance and lengths of material. These values are automatically recalculated without reprogramming the CNC, optimising the bending result in case of delicate surface sheet metal.
