For over 30 years Foremost has been offering our unique press brake as an alternative to using much larger brakes for simple bending. We currently offer 6 bench top models with capacities of 12 tons and 24 tons, and bed widths from 2 feet to 8 feet in length. Two air driven cylinders force the ram down, and a counterbalance retracts the ram. This simple design keeps maintenance costs to a minimum, without sacrificing performance.
The Foremost Bantam press brake is an ideal choice for cell manufacturing or point-of-use operations because of its compact size. The CNC back gauge is available to enhance the versatility of the machine. 99 programs can be stored and retrieved at the push of a button, each with up to 30 bends. Every time the brake is actuated the back gauge advances to the next position. A 90ยบ top punch and 4-way bottom die are included with the machines and an optional floor stand and 2-hand control package with support table are also available.
FEATURES
Safety and Tooling Adjustment: The bed adjusting bolts located at each end of the bed are used for adjusting the die space, therefore, eliminating pinch points. This feature is also used for leveling the bed. For the safest operation OSHA states that a die space gap of a 1/4" or less is not a pinch point.
Stroke Adjustment: By using the hand wheel, stroke depth can be controlled. Shortening the stroke increases productivity and reduces air consumption. The locking handle insures repeatability.
Ram Control: The ball valve and the foot pedal work in tandem controlling your Foremost Bantam Press Brake. The ball valve is used to control the speed of the air flow to the machine. The foot pedal is used like the accelerator on your car but only works as fast as the ball valve allows. The foot pedal pressed to the floor (with the ball valve fully opened) will allow the ram to make its fastest decent. If the operator lightly eases off the foot pedal they can stop the ram's advancement, or if you remove your foot entirely from the foot pedal the machine returns automatically to its starting position. With Foremost Bantam Press Brake, the operator has full control.
