Knuth 160-Ton Hydraulic Press Brake - Model AHK-32160 - 10' Bed - 3-Axis NC - 2010

2010 Knuth AHK-32160 Hydraulic Press Brake

160 Ton x 121" O.A.L. | 3-Axis NC Backgauge | S/N 2117

The Knuth AHK-32160 is a high-production hydraulic press brake engineered for precision and heavy-duty reliability. Manufactured in 2010, this machine features a massive 160-ton bending force and a 10-foot bed, making it a powerhouse for everything from thick plate fabrication to long-form structural bending. This specific unit is equipped with a 3-axis backgauge and integrated hydraulic lower table crowning, ensuring constant angular accuracy and straight bends across the entire workpiece.

Key Features & Performance

• Integrated Hydraulic Crowning: The AHK series features a sophisticated hydraulic compensation system in the lower table. This automatically offsets frame deflection under high tonnage, guaranteeing a perfectly straight bend without "boing" in the center of the sheet.
• 3-Axis Precision Backgauge: Features motorized control for depth (X-axis) and height (R-axis), allowing for rapid setup of complex, multi-stage bending sequences.
• Heavy Torsion Bar Synchronism: A massive mechanical torsion shaft connects the two hydraulic cylinders, ensuring the ram remains perfectly level even during off-center or asymmetrical loading.
• Advanced Safety Suite: Equipped with the Fiessler Safety System (laser guarding) and rear light curtains to meet high industrial safety standards.
• Rigid Construction: The frame is a stress-relieved steel weldment designed for maximum rigidity and long-term service life in a production environment.

Condition & Tooling

• Controller: Weintek / Knuth NC Touchscreen Interface for easy program storage and recall.
