We are looking at getting a new press brake and wanted to reach out for some user thoughts.
We started with a new 24 ton Atek and then purchased a "like new" LVD strippit SP540 The strippit is 7 years old but has next to no hrs on it. I would keep it but strippit has no desire to support it and I am not in a position to maintain it with no support. We are a small shop that tends to use newer gear that has good service.
Requirements:
4-6 foot bed
40-50 tons
Basic back gauge (CNC would be nice but not a must)
We do simple forming. nothing crazy complex
Would like to be under 40k
Looking at selling the new Atek and the Strippit to purchase new.
Any pointers on brands? Not opposed to used so long as it would be a well supported system.
Thanks!
