Prima Power BCe Smart press brake tooling replacement

What tooling does a Prima Power BCe Smart use?

The Prima Power BCe Smart is servo-electric bending cells and is commonly supplied with the European tang, cell-specific. Confirm by measuring the tang and inspecting the clamp, because machines within the same series have been delivered with more than one interface over the production life of the range.

What is specific to the Prima Power BCe Smart?

The BCe Smart is a servo-electric bending cell. Tooling must suit automated handling as well as bending.

• Record the machine model as well as the interface; it helps match the original specification.
• Where automation or tool changing is fitted, the handling interface matters as much as the tang.
• Segment combinations are specified per machine, because bed length varies within a series.

How do I confirm the interface on a Prima Power BCe Smart?

These four observations settle the interface on almost every machine without a site visit.

1. Measure the tang width across its widest point.
2. Measure the punch overall height from the shoulder to the tip.
3. Look for locking pin holes or a retention groove, which indicate a safety tang.
4. Measure the die body width and photograph the clamp with a ruler in shot.
