RAYMAX is one of China's best press brake manufacturers, having professional information on CNC sheet metal brakes. This article mainly introduces the operation of the E21 CNC system of the press brake bending machine, which is used to guide the user's operation. Everyone can read through this article and master the essentials when purchasing or before using it.

The E21 system provides complete software control, but there is no mechanical safety protection device for the operator or the machine tool. Therefore, when the system fails, the machine tool must be able to provide the operator and the external protection device of the machine tool.

1. Product introduction

This product is equipped with a press brake machine dedicated numerical control device which is applicable to various users. On the basis of ensuring work precision, the cost of numerical control bending machines is reduced significantly.

Features of the E21 system:

  • Positioning control of back gauge.
  • lntelligent positioning control.
  • Unilateral and bidirectional positioning eliminates spindle clearance effectively.
  • Retract functions.
  • Automatic reference searching.
  • One-key parameter backup and restore.
  • Fast position indexing.
  • 40 programs storage space, each program has 25 steps.
  • Power-off protection.

2. Operation panel
