Roper Whitney AutoBrake 1214K

With all of the benefits of the standard AutoBrake, the optional rotating Kombi beam, makes this machine even more impressive.

This unique tooling assembly adds to the machine’s straight and box folding capabilities to produce more complex shapes in less time. It handles a wide range of materials, easily closes hems and withstands the force generated by maximum capacity forming operations.

Description

Roper Whitneys 1214K Autobrake provides accuracy and repeatability when forming up to 12ft long 14 gauge or lighter materials. This sheet metal brake is a high speed solution to make multiple bends while maintaining a high quality level in the end product. The 1214K incorporates a rotating Kombi beam making this machine even more versatile, this unique tooling assembly adds to the machines straight and box folding capabilities to produce more complex shapes in less time. Various tooling options are provided to help customize to your specific needs, and can be provided in steel or hardened. The Autobrakes backgauge provides accurate part location through the use of servo drives and are expandable with optional backgauge extensions. The machines rigid design includes crowning adjustments to ensure accurate bending regardless of raw material stresses, it can handle a wide range of materials, easily closes hems and withstands the force generated by maximum capacity forming operations.

Intelligent Controls

Synergy is the newest software designed for Roper Whitney’s line of powered folding machines. It is a highly advanced CNC system that takes the complexity out of programming and running parts. The full-color, graphical touch screen allows you to store, browse and search for parts, as well as create new parts on the fly.

The software also brings together information from the office-based Konstruct program and the field-based Konstruct Mobile with Roper Whitney’s technical support program Konnect.

  • Easy Windows-based touch screen control
  • Auto sequences the part
  • 3-D part display
  • DXF file import capability
