Frequently asked questions

Questions to resolve before ordering

How do I confirm this machine is suitable for my parts?

Send the material, maximum thickness or capacity, part dimensions, drawings, production volume, quality requirements, and sample expectations with the quote request.

What electrical and utility information is required?

Provide voltage, phase, available amperage, panel information, compressed air, process gas, extraction, cooling, floor space, and access details.

What is included with the machine?

The written quotation separates included equipment, starter consumables, optional equipment, freight, installation, training, and customer-provided items.

How are delivery, installation, and training handled?

The project plan confirms delivery ZIP, unloading method, rigging and placement, site readiness, startup, test work, operator training, travel, and acceptance.

What warranty and service support applies?

The applicable written warranty and service scope identify the term, start date, components, exclusions, parts process, labor, travel, shipping, diagnostics, and escalation path.

Complete machine information Description

Press Brake Backgauge Not Moving & Position Error Repair — independent diagnostic and repair work carried out on the hydraulic, control and gauging system of a press brake. The first deliverable is a diagnosis with a stated cause, not a parts invoice. Final scope, parts, timing and price are confirmed after the assessment; repair, replacement or upgrade is recommended only once the unit has been evaluated.

Symptoms this service covers

  • Backgauge will not move
  • X or R axis position error
  • Backgauge loses reference or will not home
  • Servo drive alarm or motor fault
  • Position is inconsistent between bends

Who this fits

  • Shops with the machine down and production waiting on it
  • Owners quoted a full replacement who want an independent second opinion
  • Buyers evaluating used equipment before purchase
  • Maintenance teams with a recurring fault that has no confirmed root cause

What the diagnostic covers

Item What is checked Why it decides the scope
Bend evidence Sample bends, material, thickness, die opening and punch radius Angle complaints are often a tooling or material problem, not a machine fault
Ram synchronization Y1/Y2 position error, valve response and scale condition Sync error is the classic cause of angle variation along the bend
Hydraulic condition Pressure, drift, leak history, oil condition and temperature Drift and slow cycles are measured, not estimated
Backgauge system Drive, belt, screw, home reference and position error A backgauge that loses position destroys repeatability
Crowning and frame Crowning system function and frame deflection under load Angle variation across the length is usually crowning or deflection
Control and electrical Alarms, drives, contactors and wiring condition Intermittent alarms are usually electrical before they are electronic

Configuration and component options

Component selection on a press brake is part of the configuration, not a fixed bill of materials. These are the assemblies and the options each is chosen from.

Assembly Options How it is selected
CNC control DELEM / Cybelec / ESA / Estun Confirmed from the installed control before any scope is written
Feedback devices Heidenhain / Givi Misure / Magnescale linear scales Matched to axis count and travel
Drives and motors Estun / Yaskawa / Delta / Siemens Axis-matched
Safety interface Lazer Safe / DSP Fiessler / SICK / Pilz Scope set by risk assessment and measured stop time
Electrical integration Schneider Electric / Siemens / Omron Panel standard by build

Component brands are configuration-dependent and are confirmed in the written quotation.

Brand names identify equipment and components only.

Compatibility data required

Send this set and the first-round questions are already answered:

  • Press brake make, model, year, tonnage and bend length
  • Control brand and model, with a photo of the screen and any alarm code
  • Photos of sample bends with material, thickness and die opening noted
  • Where along the bend length the angle goes wrong
  • Oil condition and the date of the last service
  • Photos of the cabinet with the door open and of the backgauge
  • Delivery ZIP code and site access for a service visit

Limits stated before the work starts

  • Angle accuracy is limited by tooling condition and material consistency as much as by the machine
  • Frame deflection and ram wear are mechanical corrections, quoted separately
  • Some control platforms are obsolete and are quoted as a retrofit instead of a repair

Scope and price

Nothing is repaired before the findings are reported and the scope agreed in writing. Where a repair is uneconomic or a component has no supply route, that is stated with the replacement or retrofit alternative. Final configuration, compatibility, and availability are confirmed in the written quotation.

Request a service assessment

Once those are confirmed, the quotation states the configuration, freight and installation scope in writing. Request a service assessment.
