In order to continue the evolution of MGS product fabrication, we have recently purchased and installed a new press brake. The Safan-Darley E-Brake Ultra 160-3100NS was delivered 2/21/24 and is currently undergoing proving at the PA plant.

One of the main features that attracted MGS to this particular machine is its fully electric operation. Some of the benefits are: Elimination of hydraulic oil changes, low noise emission, greater energy efficiency, and faster cycle times. Operator safety is enhanced by a light curtain that senses when the operator’s hands are in the bend area. This machine can exert 160 metric tons over a 10’ working length. It features a four-axis back gauge, a 3D touch screen, and a programmable bending aid.



The addition of this machine will increase press and shear throughput while allowing us to repurpose our smaller press brake machines for punching and forming. We are excited to fully integrate this new tool into our production process and anticipate gains in productivity as a result of this investment.
