Offered in a range of models from 4-feet to 13-feet, and capacities through 1/4" steel, the Autobrake 2000 is designed to meet the needs of jobs shops, metal roofing contractors, and architectural sheet metal fabricators. These CNC metal folding systems incorporate automatic gauging, clamping, and pivot bending for versatile, efficient part production. Bending and gauge positioning accuracy allow a wide range of parts to be fabricated with repeat precision.Computer Controlled
Flexible, powerful, and easy to use makes the Titan control system a must have for any sheet metal fabricator. This all new Windows® based controller was specifically designed for the Autobrake 2000 and uses a touch-based graphical user interface for quick editing and creation of part programs. With minimal training, operators can quickly learn to dynamically generate part drawings complete with up-to-date bend angles and lines, material handling instructions, plus hemming and radius macros.Dual Clamping System
Clamping pressure is easily programmed at the control without manual adjustments allowing soft and painted materials to be held without marring. Activated by footswitch through a unique spring loaded system, and driven from both ends, clamping pressures approaching 30 tons are achieved.Powerful Bending System
Folding of the part is accomplished by a rotating beam driven from both ends by heavy duty low-friction roller chains with an automatic tensioning device for low maintenance. Accuracy of the bend is ensured by encoder feedback attached directly to the rotating center of the bending beam.Universal Tooling
Every AB1014K (Kombi Machine) comes with continuous upper, lower, and box tooling included, as well as a complete set of box and pan (Kombi) tooling (1" through 24" widths). Specialty tooling, while seldom needed, is also available to meet your needs.Patented Kombi Beam
Found only on the Roper Whitney Autobrake, this versatile upper beam allows both straight full length bending and box work without changing tools. The box tooling is mounted on the reverse side of the beam and rotated into position in a fraction of the tool change over time required with other systems. Angles, radius bends, and hems can all be be formed without any additional tool setup during part production.CNC Backgauge
Multiple sets of steps are provided for fast accurate positioning of the work material without pre-measuring or scribing of the sheet.Low profile spring stops in the forward position allow gauging between the clamping jaws for short flanges without marking soft materials.Models designated with the suffix "K", such as "AB1014K", include the patented Kombi beam in their construction. These models are also available with a straight upper beam (without box tooling), and have their machine weight reduced by approximately 400 pounds.
