Greenfield Engineering has further strengthened its sheet metal forming capabilities with the addition of its third AMADA EGB press brake and its first EGB6020e.
The investment continues the company’s commitment to modern manufacturing technology, adding bending capacity and supporting consistent quality and efficient production for its customers.
The EGB6020e combines servo-electric drive technology with features designed to improve bending accuracy and simplify operation. Its asymmetric automatic crowning system helps maintain consistent results across the bending area, including when components are positioned off-center. A six-axis back gauge and the ability to accommodate tools of different heights provide flexibility while helping to reduce setup times.
AMADA’s AMNC 4ie control features a 21.5-inch touchscreen, with clear graphics and intuitive programming designed to support operators at different experience levels. Together, these technologies help streamline the bending process and support accurate, repeatable production.
Lee Harris, Operations Manager at Greenfield Engineering, said:
“Adding our third EGB press brake is another step in developing our forming department. The EGB6020e gives us additional flexibility and capacity, while its control system and servo-electric technology support the precision and consistency our customers expect.
“This investment is also about supporting our people. Equipment that simplifies setup and operation helps our experienced operators work efficiently and provides a platform for developing the skills of the wider team.”
The EGB6020e’s oil-free drive system also removes the need for hydraulic oil and reduces associated maintenance requirements. Energy-saving functions, including automatically switching off the lighting and control panel when the operator is absent, support more efficient operation.
With three EGB press brakes now forming part of its manufacturing capability, Greenfield Engineering continues to invest in the equipment and skills needed to deliver precision sheet metal components.
