A piece of BVS history: Our first press brake in the foyer

Since the end of May 2025, a special exhibit has had a permanent place in the foyer of BVS Blechtechnik GmbH: the machine that started it all in 1989. It is a press brake from Promecam, which was delivered on May 20, 1989 and laid the technological foundation for our company.

Today, the machine is representative of our beginnings in sheet metal processing. With a bending length of 1.25 m and a pressing force of 25 tons, it formed the foundation of our first production steps. The fact that it was already NC-controlled at the time and had a motorized back gauge shows the quality standards we have set for our production since the company was founded.

After more than three decades, it now documents the path that BVS has taken in manufacturing technology in our entrance area. It makes our history tangible for visitors and employees in the truest sense of the word.

all-electric press brake: Our NEW roommate in production: EGB 1303 ATCe Amada

Today we would like to briefly introduce our new roommate in production. It is the EGB-ATCe, an all-electric press brake from AMADA.

It is considered to be the easiest-to-operate press brake of all time. We are the first users of this machine in Germany.

What can it do better than its predecessors?

The all-electric press brake works without oil for controlling the upper beam. The system’s new crowning system can also be adjusted electrically.

Greater accuracy: This is made possible by the new electrical system for crowning. It enables asymmetrical correction of the lower press beam for optimum station bending.

Higher productivity: It has a fast upper beam and protractor as well as three independent stop fingers.

Higher tool capacity: 30% higher capacity of the automatic tool changer (ATC)

Simplified operation: The machine has a new intelligent voice control system, tablet HMI and intelligent augmented reality cameras for the backgauge. This allows the machine to be controlled effortlessly by any operator.

AMNC 4ie + VPSS 4ie BEND: The programs can be generated and transferred to the new AMNC 4ie control system in just a few seconds using the new AI-BEND function of the VPSS 4ie BEND software.

Servo technology: This reduces maintenance and machine downtimes.

We are very pleased that the new EGB 1303 ATCe has settled in well with us and wish her a good settling-in period, many successful projects and a long collaboration with our colleagues.

The video gives you a brief insight into how the press brake moved into our company.

Many thanks to AMADA for creating and providing the video, and to Kurz Spezialtransporte for the safe transportation of the press brake.
