It is the choice for industrial workshops that regularly process large pieces and require high distributed pressures. The advance speed of 10 mm\/sec is the maximum value in the AP family, comparable to the AP 1020-150 (both with 11 kW motor): faster series production compared to the AP 1520-100 (8 mm\/sec with 7.5 kW motor). The 600×1,520 mm table with a Ø 100 mm through-hole and a useful height of 275 mm cover standard industrial processing of wide workpieces. In Krollit customer laboratories, it is chosen by industrial metal fabrication shops, large-format sheet metal working shops, industrial frame manufacturers, and component manufacturers who require mixed processing on wide workpieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AP 1520-150 is at the top of the Bernardo AP universal press range. Below it, other AP models (1020-150, 1520-100) offer trade-offs on one of the two dimensions (width or tonnage) for lower costs. Above the AP in the Bernardo range are DKS gantry presses (200\/300\/400 t) for long workpieces with a mobile frame, and dedicated AKPL press brakes for industrial series bending. The difference with DKS: AP is universal (bending + pressing), DKS is dedicated to pressing on long workpieces with a mobile frame. The difference with AKPL: AP handles occasional bending, AKPL is an industrial press brake with cylinder synchronization and NC control. For general industrial workshops with mixed processing and wide workpieces, the AP 1520-150 is the most complete choice in the universal category. For dedicated specialized applications, the DKS or AKPL are sized differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKrollit Logistics and Support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernardo shipping in 5-9 business days (7 days for Southern Italy).

The AP 1520-150 has 50 more tons and an advance speed of 10 mm\/sec (vs 8) thanks to the 11 kW motor (vs 7.5 kW). For series production on jobs requiring higher force, the difference pays off; for occasional use, the 1520-100 is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice between the two depends on the duty cycle and the required tonnage. For workshops with regular processing at 100-130 tons, the 1520-100 at the limit of its capacity wears out more quickly: the 1520-150 operates at optimal regime (50-70% of nominal capacity). For predominantly use below 80-90 tons, the 1520-100 is correctly sized with a significantly lower cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I bend thick sheet metal with the AP 1520-150?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, up to 8 mm thick (nominal bending capacity of the AP family). For series production on thick sheet metal or for superior bending quality, consider dedicated industrial AKPL press brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 8 mm capacity refers to mild steel with correctly sized V-tools. For sheet metal over 8 mm, the AP is not suitable, and for series production, the AKPL offers specific features (cylinder synchronization, NC control, precise backgauge) that the AP does not have. For those who regularly bend sheet metal up to 8 mm occasionally and also do pressing\/shrinking, the AP 1520-150 is the correct universal choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eDoes the solid cast iron structure limit the machine's movement in the workshop?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the 3,500 kg cast iron makes moving it a non-trivial operation.
