The PB 3200 marks a new generation in the control and management of sheet bending productions.

Driven by high-powered, PC-based hardware, this system allows very fast processing of data and highly accurate calculation of the needed bending operations for the production programs on hydraulic press brakes.

The 2D-software on the control allows extensive 2D-design (ProfileManager) of profiles that can immediately be executed on the machine.

The simple layout of the user-interface guarantees quick achievement of the desired functions.

By using the touch panel, the number of keyboard- and button actions is reduced to an absolute minimum, allowing the user a straightforward, intuitive control of the entire production cycle.
