Newfield expands it's forming capacity with a new Bystronic Pressbrake Edwards Pearson. Edwards Pearson, the UK subsidiary of the Bystronic Group, was the recent outright winner in the "Best Forming/Fabrication Machine Tool" category at the Metalworking Production International Machine Tool Industry Awards.

Bystronic's pressbrake Edwards Pearson PR IPC (developed and manufactured by Bystronics' subsidiary Beyeler Blechbearbeitungsmaschinen GmbH) incorporates an integrated process control (IPC) measurement system. The IPC series use pressure reference bending technology with dynamic crowning to fulfill the high demands for the production of sheet metal parts and for the most varied of applications; both for light gauge sheet metal and heavy gauge plates.

Used in conjunction with the pressbrake pressure reference features, the IPC software measures the material thickness and spring-back during the bend cycle, and adjusts to provide 'perfect' angles every time.
