HYBRID PRESS BRAKE: HOW DOES IT WORK?

Superior in every aspect, even in terms of power saving, low consumption and environment protection. .SUPERIOR is a sheet metal press brake made by VICLA, able to bend and cut the costs of the entire manufacturing cycle, reducing them to a minimum, while speeding up the production times to maximum velocity.

The standard version is equipped with an innovative hybrid system and comes at the same price as a traditional machine, ensuring exceptional power savings and a massive reduction in oil consumption thanks to the use of the double tank.

The results in numbers of this technological innovation are: power savings of up to 55%, significant oil consumption reduction (e.g.: 2X40 litres – press of 110 t), output increased by 20%, 20% decrease in fast-up limit, 50% decrease in oil temperature, risk of leakages reduced by 70%, tank volume reduced by 50%, and 50% faster and easier installation. With VICLA Hybrid System, the piping system is reduced by up to 60%.

All these advantages translate into greater performance of the manufacturing system and perfect finished products. In one word: quality. Not only in terms of stability of the frame and the bending precision, but also with regard to power saving and environment protection.

The Hybrid System is a standard feature included in the standard version of the .SUPERIOR press brake, but the system is however extremely versatile: optional features and accessories or custom-made solutions are also available, depending on every production requirement. Hybrid System Plus: the system that cuts down consumption to 78% compared to traditional machines and to 23% compared to the standard Hybrid System.

This is VICLA’s pursuit to ensure absolute quality. Daily investments in research and development, entrusted to highly skilled engineers and staff with top qualification and skills in metal working. Ongoing efforts that show the first evidence of achievement of new and important goals.

First of all, an innovative system for automated die change will be shortly completed.
