Features
Increased
Productivity
The CNC1000 is an automatic gauging and
ram control system for press brakes. It
can virtually double press brake output
while increasing part uniformity and
reducing scrap.
Simple
Programming
Programming the CNC1000 is a simple
sequential process which requires no
special or lengthy operator training.
Automec's attention to human engineering
allows the operator to use the CNC1000
with maximum efficiency and confidence.
Quick
Setup
After a simple reference procedure in
which both the gauge and the ram are
calibrated, the CNC1000 will precisely
position the gauge bar to programmed
dimensions. If the metal being formed
varies in thickness, temper or sheer
size, dimensions can quickly be adjusted
on the controller.
Progressive
Forming
The gauge automatically positions for
each consecutive bend. As the ram cycles,
precise angle control is maintained. As
the ram recover, the gauge moves to the
next programmed position. The operator
progressively forms each flange and angle
until the part is complete. The gauge
automatically returns to the first
programmed position and the operator
begins forming the next part.

Total
System Accuracy
Any
system can position accurately in a free
state but "Total System Accuracy"
refers to what happens when the workpiece
is pressed against the gauge bar. The
mechanical structure of the gauging
system must be rigid enough to match the
positioning accuracy of the electronics.
The CNC1000 can display so you can verify
that the gauge bar has not lost position.
Holding
Power of Disc Brakes
Autoguage uses multiple drive systems
spaced apart depending on the size of the
press brake. Autogauge locks all drives
in position with a holding force of 400lbs.
minimum. Since competitive systems rely
on the electric drive motor to hold the
gauge bar in position, a force applied
against the gauge causes the system to
move away from the programmed dimension
and can put undue load on the motor and
amplifier.
Machined
Gauge Bars
Gauge bars up to 11' are machined
straight within .005" on the
reference edge. Gauge fingers and work
blocks can be moved side to side without
loss of reference.
Max-Adjust
Flip Fingers
Max-Adjust Flip Finger are of a heavy
duty design with built-in shock
protection. The graduated fine adjustment
knob allows 1 ¼" of horizontal
adjustment. The flip finger can be locked
so as not to flip. These fingers have a
fixed step with two gauging surfaces of 0.1"
and 0.4".
Micro-Adjust
Flip Fingers
Micro-Adjust Flip Fingers are uniquely
designed to work on the die as well as
far back. They are horizontally
adjustable +/- .020". The gauging
tip can be rotated to any of four
positions to produce gauging surfaces of
1/8" or ¾". Each tip has two
gauging surfaces precisely spaced 1"
apart.
Seven
Gauge Sizes
Automec offers a comprehensive line of
seven backgauge sizes that are compatible
with the CNC1000 Control. These can
accommodate press brakes with 2' to 24'
beds. All systems are driven by closed
loop DC Servo motors using a precise
position sensor with .001"
resolution.
