In October 2009, Van Aarsen installed a new Bystronic CNC-controlled brake press. The investment in this modern Swiss precision machine offers an effective and efficient method to programme products and remove sharp edges.

After a short but thorough training from Bystronic for the operators, the machine appears to be very user-friendly when programming. Online monitoring allows the operator to simulate his or her programmed processes that can be saved and reopened via a network connection.

The extensive scale of new lower and upper tools guarantees a high level of quality for each plate thickness and a flexible production process with minimal re-setting time.

The brake press is provided with an optional plate thickness measurement device which functions quickly and safely.

The Bystronic brake press has a capacity of 320 ton and a width of 4100 mm. The machine is further constructed with hydraulic clamping from under and above; 4-shafted CNC controlled backstops and automatic camber.
