INTRODUCTION
ELECTRABRAKE machines use an electromagnet, rather than a mechanical, clamping system.
The machine consists of a long electromagnet with a steel clamp bar located above it. The sheet
metal is clamped between the two by an electromagnet capable of clamping with a force range of
between 3 - 10 Tons. Rotating the bending beam then forms the bend. The sheet is bent around
the front edge of the clamp-bar.
Using the machine is simple, slide the sheet in under the clamp-bar; press the start-button to
initiate clamping; lift the handle to form the bend to the desired angle; and then return the handle to
automatically release the clamping force. The folded sheet can now be removed or repositioned
ready for another bend.
The special centre less compound hinges, are distributed along the length of the bending beam
allowing bending loads close to where they are generated.
The combined effect of the magnetic clamping with the special centre less hinges means that the
ELECTRABRAKE is a very compact, space saving, machine with a very high strength-to-weight
ratio.
ELECTRABRAKE EB625, EB1000, EB1250, EB 2000, EB 2500 & EB3200
The ELECTRABRAKE EB625, EB1000, EB1250, EB2000, EB2500 & EB3200 are highly versatile
sheet metal folding machines used to bend mild steel and aluminium sheet metal. Thicknesses of
up to 1.2 mm thick can be folded on the EB3200, across the full length of the machine. The
EB625, EB1000, EB1250, EB2000 and EB2500 machines fold material of up 1.6mm thickness.
These multi-purpose machines bend sheet metal of lengths 625mm, 1000mm, 1250mm, 2000mm,
2500mm and 3200mm respectively.
The ELECTRABRAKE magnetic clamping system replaces the bulky clamping structure used in
conventional folding machines. The small compact clamp bar does not hinder or obstruct the work
piece. Automatic electromagnetic clamping and unclamping, means faster operation. These
machines have a much greater versatility than conventional sheet metal benders. The machines
are ideal for use in industry, air-conditioning and building industries.
For the EB-2000, EB2500 and EB3200 an electrical interlock is offered to enhance Operator
Safety. This operation ensures that a safe pre-clamping force must be applied before full-
clamping can be engaged.
ACCESSORIES
Adjustable backstops, storage tray and a complete set of short-length clamp-bars are included as
Standard Accessories.
A foot switch is supplied as a standard accessory on the EB2000, EB2500 and EB3200 only. On
the EB1250 the foot switch is an optional extra.
A narrow clamp bar, a slotted clamp bar for forming shallow boxes more quickly and a power
shear with guide for straight distortion-free cutting of up to 1.6 mm thick is all available as Optional
Extra Accessories.
A Full 12 month warranty is offered that covers faulty materials and workmanship.
