Fab Supply Inc. Sheet Followers
Adaptable to almost any press brake

• Servo powered for accuracy: no pneumatics, no hydraulics.

• True sheet following provides full support for the most accurate parts.

• Improved productivity with safer operating conditions for operators.

• Minimal training is required with simple setup and operation.

• Standard 45 degrees. Optional up to 70 degrees of lift motion.

• No special components are used in construction. Sourced parts are off-the-shelf products, and several parts are available for faster service if needed.

• All systems are modular and fully customizable, with an array of unique attachments such as suction cup, “air-hockey”, and ball transfer tables, as well as fully programmable y-axis travel.

• Followers are linkage-based. The pivot point action at the leading corner of the lower V-die produces true following motion where many others do not.

• Followers work independently from press controls, so the press brake is not affected.

• Typically, there are two follower units per press. The actual sheet weight that can be lifted is based on the sheet center of gravity and the actuators chosen for the application.

• All sheet follower systems come with a 5-year limited parts and labor warranty to support the confidence we have in our systems.*

• Extremely low maintenance due to the design and use of fully sealed ball bearings.

• Troubleshooting can be performed remotely using the “M-Guard” feature, which comes with every sheet follower system.

• Proven performance in the field with units in service for over 10 years.

*Limited 5-year parts and labor requires bi-annual system maintenance be performed and documented by the end-user. Warranty is void if customer fails to perform scheduled maintenance. Warranty does not apply if sheet follower or any of its components are damaged by a natural disaster or other catastrophe such as flood or fire.
