Stability impacts everything from profitability to employee safety. If there’s a need to back off feeds and speeds to achieve finishes, there’s a good chance a part is not completely stable. BIG KAISER’s zero-point, UNILOCK stabilizer system easily adjusts to any new part.
The system attaches to the worktable and the side of the workpiece to provide lateral support. As the workpiece gets taller and further away from the table, the stabilizer offsets the cutting forces pushing against the workpiece.

If the press brakes in your fabrication shop are more than a decade old - not uncommon given the solid construction of most press brakes - and you're in the market for new replacement equipment, you may be surprised by the technological developments on today's press brakes.
Ermaksan has developed a new generation Evolution series hybrid press brakes. Ermaksan's press brakes are available from Canadian distributor Ferric Machinery, Mississauga, ON.
The Safan E-Brake features a servo electric drive based on the pulley principle, which the company says ensures even distribution of forces.
