HACO EASYBEND control for SynchroMaster

11 September 2024

High-performance press brake control with 2D software

HACO is excited to announce some fantastic updates and improvements to our HACO SynchroMaster control unit! EasyBend-2D MT software becomes standard in the SynchroMaster control unit.  Only one type of control unit hardware: the current standard 2D unit.

The HACO EASYBEND is an advanced control system for press brakes, offering high precision and flexibility with powerful 2D software and PC-based hardware. Its intuitive Multi-Touch interface simplifies the bending process, featuring tools like Smart Draft and Step Previewer for efficient program execution. Designed for reliability, it integrates tool assignment, bending sequences, and CNC programming for optimal performance.

Next generation bending

The EASYBEND control sets a new standard in the market for flexible, reliable and high precision sheet metal bending.  Driven by state-of-the-art PC-based hardware, the system allows for very fast data processing and highly accurate calculation of the optimal bending programs for hydraulic CNC press brakes.

Intuitive Multi Touch control with multitasking

The application of Multi Touch technology reduces the number of keyboard- and button actions to an absolute minimum. The innovative Smart Draft, Design/Bending Sequence Multitasking, Step Previewer and Combined Icons features allow the operator a straightforward, intuitive control of the entire production cycle.

Integrated work piece preparation

The EASYBEND is designed to control the press brake and to execute manually created or automatically created or generated programs. This generation of programs can be done by means of offline software or directly on the CNC control on the machine. Full integration on the control : the concept of the piece (drawing), tool assignment, bending sequence construction, back gauge settings and finally the generation of the CNC-program.

Main features

18.5” MULTI TOUCH screen (16:9)
POINT TO POINT drawing method & Real Time solution calculation during building up the workpiece design
SMART DRAFT: innovative drawing method for generating 2D workpieces
STEP PREVIEWER: bar with possibility of horizontally scrolling of the bending steps
COMBINED ICONS: multiple functionalities by means of one single icon
INTUITIVE MULTI TOUCH INTERFACE with combined numerical-graphical user interface, program overview and possibility of operator messages
