Overview

The LVD CADMAN-B 6m is a heavy-duty hydraulic CNC press brake designed for large-format bending of structural steel, thick-gauge stainless, and heavy plate components in the construction, agriculture, and heavy equipment sectors. The 6-meter bending length and 1,000-ton capacity handle the largest bending jobs that most press brake facilities encounter, including box sections for structural steel work, agricultural equipment frames, and heavy vehicle body components. LVD's CADMAN-B incorporates the Touch-B control with CADMAN offline programming software that handles 3D part unfolding and bend sequencing. Automatic crowning compensation ensures consistent bend angle across the full 6-meter length despite beam deflection under heavy load. The large-format CADMAN-B is typically installed in heavy fabrication shops that also run LVD's laser cutting and punching lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Why is automatic crowning necessary on a 6-meter press brake?

Under heavy load, the beam of a long press brake deflects (bows) slightly in the center, which would cause the bend angle to be less in the middle than at the ends. Automatic crowning introduces a controlled pre-bend in the lower beam that exactly compensates for this deflection, ensuring consistent bend angle from one end to the other on long parts.
