The NOVASTILMEC SHP 180/40 sheet metal bending machine is a highly robust and powerful used machine, suitable for bending large and thick sheet metal. This model, with a working length of 4050 mm and a bending force of 1800 tons, is particularly suitable for heavy carpentry work, shipyards, metal structure manufacturing, and other industries requiring precision machining of difficult-to-deform materials.

Visual description and components

Visually, the NOVASTILMEC SHP 180/40 bending machine appears like an imposing metal structure, with a rigid and robust frame designed to withstand high mechanical stress. Its 15,500 kg weight is a testament to its solid construction, while the main frame is reinforced to ensure precision and stability during bending.

The heart of the machine is the CIBELEC DNC 70 , which precisely manages the 4 main axes: Y1, Y2, X and R , in addition to the crowning function, useful for correcting any deformations of the piece during the bending process. The Y1 and Y2 control the stroke of the ram, while the X adjusts the back gauge for positioning the piece, and the R manages the height of the back gauge, allowing for high operational flexibility.

Measurements and mechanical characteristics

Among its most notable features, in addition to the useful bending length of 4050 mm and the bending force of 1800 tons , we find a 500 mm lateral throat , which allows for easy work even on large pieces. The motor power of 20 kW guarantees continuous and efficient operation, even during heavy and prolonged processing.

Usage procedure

The bending operation on this NOVASTILMEC SHP 180/40 CIBELEC DNC 70 numerical control , which allows for precise programming of the movements of the ram and back gauge. The operator enters the bending parameters (such as angle, thickness, and length of the sheet metal) into the control panel, and the CNC automatically calculates the optimal position of the axes to obtain the desired bend.

For optimal use, it is essential to know the formulas that allow you to calculate the required bending force based on the sheet metal thickness and material:

• F = (k * S² * L) / V, Where:
  • F is the bending force,
  • k is a coefficient that depends on the material,
  • S is the thickness of the sheet metal,
  • L is the length of the fold,
  • V is the width of the lower matrix.

Workable materials

The NOVASTILMEC SHP 180/40 press brake can process a wide range of metals, including steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and other high-strength metals. Thanks to its 1,800-ton force, it can bend sheet metal of significant thicknesses, even more than 20 mm, without compromising precision.

Matching accessories

Accessories such as custom dies and punches for different bending geometries can be combined with this press brake to increase its versatility. Additionally, heavy sheet metal support systems and lifting devices can be integrated to facilitate workpiece handling.

Maintenance

To keep the NOVASTILMEC SHP 180/40 , regular maintenance is recommended. This includes lubricating the moving parts, checking the guides, and checking the hydraulic system. Periodic checks of the CNC and electronic components ensure the numerical control system operates smoothly.

Safety regulations

This machine complies with CE regulations, which means it meets European safety standards for operator protection and machine reliability. However, it is always essential to follow the instructions in the user manual to avoid risks during use.

Sectors of use and advantages of buying used

The NOVASTILMEC SHP 180/40 press brake is primarily used in heavy carpentry, industrial machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, and metalworking. Purchasing a used press brake of this quality represents an excellent opportunity to obtain a fully functional machine at a lower price than a new one. Being in good condition and fully functional, it allows for a rapid payback period without sacrificing workmanship quality.

Buying a used one is therefore advantageous not only because of the cost savings, but also because it can be put into operation quickly, without the waiting times typical of new machines.
