Where IX-PB-160/3200 sits in the range
IX-PB-160/3200 is the first configuration in a 2-model range; buyers should compare it with the larger listed alternatives when production or work-envelope needs may grow.
Shortlist this model when the planned duty is close to its listed values. If the application regularly approaches a limit, compare the adjacent models below and ask IXORTA to check working margin, cycle expectations and future capacity.
How the IX-PB-160/3200 works
The operator selects rated tooling, programs bend sequence and backgauge positions, verifies material and safe clearances, then performs a controlled first-piece bend before production.
The safe sequence depends on the supplied guards, controls, utilities and attachments. Operators should follow the delivered manual, training and site risk assessment. For process examples and planning articles, continue to the IXORTA CNC industry guides.
Manufacturing and acceptance checks
Review frame alignment, ram guidance, hydraulic or drive system, backgauge repeatability, tooling interfaces, guarding and safety devices, then verify bends across the useful length.
A useful factory-acceptance record identifies the agreed configuration, principal components, inspection points, test material or load, observed results, open actions, documentation set, packing method and release approval. See IXORTA CNC project scopes for the wider delivery context.
Applications and selection questions
Typical applications
- sheet-metal bending
- enclosures
- fabricated frames
- production forming
Confirm before selection
- required tonnage
- bend length
- material and thickness
- stroke and daylight
- tooling
- backgauge axes and safety
A catalogue capacity alone is not enough. IXORTA should receive the normal and peak operating range, site conditions, utilities, operator experience, destination and delivery constraints before recommending a configuration. Review the division buyer FAQs before sending the enquiry.
Practical working sequence
- Define the job. Record material, load, output, quality and environmental requirements.
- Inspect before start. Check guards, fluids, fasteners, tooling or attachments, connections and the work area.
- Set the equipment. Apply the model manual, verified program or calibrated field setting.
- Prove at low risk. Run a dry cycle, first part, clean-water test or short field pass as appropriate.
- Monitor production. Watch load, sound, temperature, quality, flow, alignment and safety devices.
- Close and record. Isolate safely, clean, inspect wear and log service actions.
Use the project enquiry form to identify any required training, commissioning or operator documentation.
Maintenance priorities
- inspect tooling and clamping
- check hydraulic oil and leaks
- verify guarding and safety systems
- keep backgauge guides clean
Intervals depend on operating hours, duty, dust, heat, water quality and the surrounding environment. The delivered manual and component schedules control the final service plan. Send spare-parts and service questions through the IXORTA contact page.
