Concept behind the productConcept behind the product
The mould’s main structure is very simple:• It consists of multiple elements of one and the same type

Advantages versus fixed moulds Advantages versus fixed moulds
• Big saving on the number of moulds• With the use of only one mould one has the possibility to set different
sheet diameters according to the specifications of the model
• Enabling the choice of the most optimal V-opening• Due to the simple adjustability of the mould, one has the opportunity to
choose the mould opening that best fits the characteristics of the material to be processed. When changing sheet diameters, there is no need for changing the mould
• Big V-angles• The angle of the V-opening can be varied based on the type of mould and
the sheet diameter to as much as 30 degrees

Advantages versus fixed mouldsAdvantages versus fixed moulds
• Increased effectiveness of compressional force• As a consequence of low friction of the rolling bars, up to 30% less
compressional force is required to obtain the same results as with conventional moulds
• Short set up times• Machine idle times resulting from set up of the press brake tooling can be
reduced up to 30%. Changing the required ruling bars is simple and can be done quickly
• Productivity gain• One can perform more press brake activities as a result of having a mould
with a optimal V-opening enabling the use of the most optimal compressional force

Advantages versus fixed mouldsAdvantages versus fixed moulds
• Higher quality of the produced part• The hardened and pivoting mould axes ensure that no damage arises at
the material to be processed and also that no loading on the axes
• Universal use• The moulds can be used on both new and existing press brakes
• Modularity• The mould length can be shorter than the total length of the press brake

Product presentation
Advantages versus fixed mouldsAdvantages versus fixed moulds
• Low maintenance costs• The accuracy of the moulds decreases by wear and damages. Because
the mould is composed of simple easily replaceable components, your own maintenance department can replace the damaged components quickly. The costly and time consuming after treatment of mould parts as a consequence belongs to the past
• Suitable for frictionless pressing activities• The design is suited for adapting a frictionless system.

Advantages versus existing adjustable mouldsAdvantages versus existing adjustable moulds
• The price• Unmatched
• Increased flexibility• Due to the mould design, more complex end products can be produced
• Increased effectiveness of compressional force• As a consequence of low friction of the rolling bars, up to 30% less
compressional force is required to obtain the same results as with conventional moulds
