Roper
Whitney Autobrake Kombi Series
Kombi Autobrake
For over 40 years, Roper Whitney has been producing
quality folding systems for a variety of markets. Building on
that experience, the newest generation Autobrake folders integrate
advanced wing bending design with the features that have made
the Autobrake the choice of professionals.
The Autobrake combines automated bending of angles up to 145°,
material clamping, and material support into a single CNC controlled
system employing wing bending techniques. Manufacturing, service,
and applications support are based in Rockford, IL U.S.A.
Benefits of the Autobrake System vs. Manual or Press
Brake Bending are:
Reduced labor costs
Improved part accuracy
Reduced setup time
Minimized tool changes
Improved part quality especially on soft and pre-painted material
The Roper Whitney Autobrake is a plate and
weldment steel construction, delivering superior performance
and features in a simplified rigid design. End housings are
a plate-type construction bringing drive components close together
for improved stiffness and performance. Actuating mechanisms
are secured in rigid mounts at the outside of the housings,
allowing easy maintenance.
The unique rotating Kombi beam allows for straight
tooling and Box and Pan tooling. It is a fabricated structural
prism on which is mounted tooling to firmly clamp a broad range
of materials, close hems, and withstand the forces generated
by capacity forming operations. Machined into the Kombi beam
180° from each other are the attachment surfaces for the
straight and box and pan tooling. Tools are attached to the
Kombi beam with standard socket head cap screws. Grooves are
provided to secure tools even while the clamping bars are loosened
for adjustment. Rotation of the Kombi beam is powered by a brake
motor driving a sprocket and roller chain mechanism.
Clamping and hemming are programmed. The upper beam is driven
to program settings on both ends by a brake motor and eccentric
drive of the beam with a connecting shaft. Clamping and hemming
power is delivered to the clamp jaws by a series of spring washers
to provide variable clamping pressures with a shock-absorbing
end stop. This provides reliable clamping pressure regardless
of material thickness. Integral to the upper beam are the ways
with non-metallic gibing to guide and retain the upper beam
within the end housings.
Part program operation and creation are accomplished
on a pendant-mounted computer control, located at the right-hand
side of the machine. Programs are presented in a logical organized
manner similar to the steps used to create parts on traditional
folding brakes, allowing an easy rapid transition to the Autobrake.
The computer control can be rotated into position for best use,
and can be positioned to the rear of the machine.
Programming Functions are:
Bend Angle
Gauging distance
Spring back compensation
Offsets for hem operations
Radius profile macro gauge
Programmable delay for back
Customer alpha/numeric part number
Open hem height

Wing Bender Folder:
- 4" Tall Upper Beam Sectional Tooling
- The unique Kombi beam is a fabricated structural prism
on which is mounted
tooling to firmly clamp a broad range of materials and
withstand the forces
generated by capacity forming operations. Machined into
the Kombi beam 180¡
from each other are the attachment surfaces for the straight
and box and pan
tooling. Tools are attached to the Kombi beam with standard
socket head cap screws
and grooves are provided to secure the tools even while
the clamping bars are loosened
for adjustment. Rotation of the Kombi beam is powered
by a brake motor driving a sprocket
and roller chain mechanism.
- Several Backgauge Configurations Including:
- U-Shaped Backgauge Extension
- The U-shaped 12? backgauge system is simply a right
and left backgauge extension
taking your total backgauge dimension out to 144".
This option can be mounted on any
61" backgauge and can also be added to machine
already in the field.
- Left Or Right Hand 12' Backgauge Extension
- The 12' foot backgauge extension can be added to
any 61" backgauge and will extend your
total gauging out to 144". This feature can be
added at any time and can be retrofitted to
machines that are already in the field. The backgage
extension can be mounted on either the
right or left side but needs to be specified when
it is ordered.
- Complete 12' Backgauge
- The optional complete 12' backgauging system has to
be specified prior to ordering an Autobrake.
This system consists of a complete backgauge table that
is 12' in depth as well as 12' in width.

- 60" ball screw backgauge offering a larger backgauge
depth as well as the capability to extend the backgauge
to 10'
- Squaring Arm For Small Or Narrow Parts
- A squaring arm can be added to any backgauge to help
in gauging narrow parts.
The squaring arm mounts on the side of the backgauge and
allows the operator to
use one or backgauge fingers to accurately gauge narrow
pieces.
- Laser Scanner
- The optional laser scanner is a programmable safety
system that scans the entire front
side of the Autobrake. This unit is mounted under the
machine and offers more security
than light curtains.
- Hardened Tooling
- Tooling for the Autobrake can be laser hardened for
more durability. This option is only
recommended when all stainless steel or pieces with plasma
cut edges are run on the machine

Roper
Whitney Kombi Series W/ ECS Controls

ECS 904 CNC CONTROL SYSTEM:
The ECS 904 system enhances the skills of the
sheet metal fabricator by providing the means to quickly transfer
the operator's knowledge into useful part programs.
Windows-based software is combined with a powerful machine controller,
specifically designed for the Autobrake. This system delivers
a high powered stable solution for all folding needs.
The ECS 904 software comes packaged within an
Intel® Pentium® computer combined with a 15” flat
panel display for high speed system response, and easy viewing
of the operator interface. The computer system is pre-configured
for connection to an inter-office network.
The computer is housed within a sealed oil-tight enclosure to
prevent dust and water contamination. The front of the enclosure
hinges open with the computer attached, giving access to the USB,
serial, and network connections.
Computer specifications are:
15" high resolution anti-glare flat panel touch screen
Integrated industrial computer with internal air cooling
Intel Pentium-M 1.6 gigahertz processor or greater
512 megabytes of RAM memory
64 megabytes of video RAM
40.0 gigabyte hard drive
RS232 serial ports
Ethernet ready
USB 2.0 ports
Sealed oil-tight enclosure
Windows XP-Pro operating system
The ECS Control integrates the operation of the
positioning gauge, bending leaf, and clamping mechanisms, and
has the capability to store over one million part programs.
PROGRAMMING FEATURES:
The ECS 904 system provides greater flexibility
to the operator with fewer keystrokes, resulting in a user interface
that is easy to learn, and increases productivity.
Creation of part programs can be done by text entry in the main
operations screen, or part profiles can be drawn and converted
into programs. Both part programs and drawings can be stored on
the computer's hard drive for future use. Part profile drawings
are created in vector format, allowing the part to change its
shape and size dynamically as bend angles and line lengths are
altered. Parts can then be visually verified as correct prior
to creating the part program. Bends can be inserted, deleted,
or altered as the operator desires. Therefore, stored profiles
can be changed into other types of shapes on demand. Hem and radius
macros can also be used to create architectural shapes, or other
curved forms.
Part programs and drawings are stored and accessed from the memory
using a flexible Windows based file handling system. Programs
can be stored in any number of directories for easy organization
according to any factors desired, such as: customer name, product
name, part type, etc. Program file names can be any combination
of letters or numbers, allowing programs to be identified by part
form, company part number, or any other criteria desired. Programs
created using the drawing portion of the Titan system show a small
picture of the part for quick program identification. Incorporated
into the file system is a quick search tool that allows programs
to be displayed by key portions of their names. This limits the
selections displayed, and speeds program access for the operator.
The control system includes several backup features. The setup
parameters that control the operation of the Autobrake can be
stored at any time to a file name. These settings can then be
retrieved as needed to maintain correct machine performance. This
provides a fast secure method to reestablish the parameter settings
due to any disruption. Once per month the operator is reminded
to make a complete backup of the Titan software system. This backup
stores all of the critical system settings, part programs, and
part profile drawings present in the Titan operation directory.
Each backup made is stored separate from the next, providing a
history that can be accessed if needed, and preserving the operator's
part programs. Backups are placed in a USB flash drive connected
to the computer control head, or may be directed to another drive;
either local or network.
