CI’s highly reliable Autoform press brake, re-packaged in four popular tonnages from 90 to 230 tons and 10 to 12 foot bed lengths is now the AFX. The AFX meets the most demanding productivity requirements with on-screen Bend Sim Software, now standard 14” (or 16”) stroke, 18" throat and a 24” range five axis backgage. The AFX is CI’s fastest press brake during the bending portion of the stroke with forming speeds up to 120 ipm. Setups are fast and easy with CI’s 22” touchscreen control, Job Setup graphics displaying exact tool locations and the ability to attach detailed drawings, photos and videos of repeat setups. Hydraulic self-seating clamps can now be equipped with Wila’s Smart Tool Locator® that uses built-in LED lights to guide operators through complex tool setups and unfamiliar bend routines. Advanced options include CNC crowning, Angle Measuring Technology and CI’s highest performing six axis backgage with advanced linear motor drives. Whether you need fast setup for small lot sizes or fast forming speed for large jobs, CI's new AFX ready to perform.
