Synchronized cylinders ensure parallel descent of the upper beam: a decisive feature for uniform bends over the entire length, avoiding 'crooked' bends typical of manual bending machines over significant lengths. The backgauge with ball screw (0-600 mm stroke) and the NC E21S control allow for positioning repeatability of less than 0.1 mm, transforming the AKPL into a semi-automated production machine: the operator programs the bending sequence, and the machine correctly positions the sheet metal for each bend. The segmented upper tool with quick clamping and the lower tool with 9 V-openings cover the vast majority of standard bends without tool changes. In Krollit customers' workshops, it is chosen by industrial metal fabricators, steel structure construction workshops, industrial frame manufacturers, and sheet metal processing workshops that require precision and repeatability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIts place in the Bernardo range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AKPL 3200 x 100 is the entry-industrial hydraulic press brake in the Bernardo AKPL range. Above it, the range offers AKPL with higher tonnages (130, 160, 220 tons) and lengths up to 4 meters for heavy industrial applications. Below it (in terms of processing type) are the TBM 2020\/3020 motorized bench folders for lighter production on sheet metal up to 1.5 mm. The difference between AKPL and TBM is in purpose: TBM bends thin sheet metal (max 1.5 mm) with a blade tool, AKPL bends thick sheet metal with a V-tool. The AKPL 3200 x 100 with 100 tons is sized for bending mild steel up to approximately 4-5 mm thick (actual capacity depends on the V-geometry used). For bending sheet metal over 5 mm thick or lengths over 3.2 meters, consider higher tonnage AKPLs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKrollit logistics and support\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days to the South).

A standard industrial floor of good quality is generally sufficient; for workshops with light or filled-in floors, dedicated consolidation is recommended. Krollit does not provide foundation laying services: involve a qualified installer for site preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eHow much does it produce in one hour of standard bending?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor standard repetitive bends on medium-sized sheet metal with a single bend per piece, the typical output is 60-100 pieces per hour, considering piece and backgauge positioning. With multiple bends per piece, the output is proportionally reduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe machine cycle speed (90 mm\/sec approach, 8 mm\/sec bend, 90 mm\/sec return) allows for rapid cycles. Actual output is limited by piece positioning: the backgauge with ball screw and NC control significantly speed up this aspect compared to manual bending machines. For automated production with feeding robots, dedicated industrial configurations are necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Bernardo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50693125636424,"sku":"06-1971XL6","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0891\/2139\/0920\/files\/Bernardo_Pressa_piegatrice_idraulica_AKPL_3200_x_100_CNC_E21S_100_t.jpg?v=1758099049","url":"https:\/\/www.krollit.com\/products\/presses-benders-bernardo-akpl-3200x100","provider":"Krollit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
