The PBE-2500 CNC bending center is a fully automated DURMAPRESS panel bender, designed to bend sheet-metal panels on all four sides with a single clamping of the part. The machine reaches bending speeds at least 3 times higher than a classic press brake, with a theoretical capacity of up to 50.000 folds per day and a 0,2-second cycle per fold in optimal operation.
The Premium configuration with 18 CNC axes synchronized through “concurrent linkage” ensures fluid movements between the positioning, pressing, feeding and bending axes, eliminating dead times between phases. The pressing-arm manipulator clamps the panel, rotates it between operations and positions it precisely on the universal bending blade, automatically performing positive bends (up), negative bends (down), flattened bends (hemming) and large radii, without repositioning the part.
The PBE-2500 CNC bending center is delivered together with a self-driving robotic vacuum load and unload system, designed and produced entirely by DURMAPRESS for native integration with the PBE series. The integrated servo-electric system reduces energy consumption and CO₂ emissions by up to 64%, and maintenance costs by up to 65% compared with classic hydraulic solutions, a direct advantage for projects with ESG requirements or European funding on the sustainability component.

Key advantages of the PBE-2500 DURMAPRESS CNC bending center
“At least 3 times higher productivity than a classic press brake, with a theoretical capacity of up to 50,000 bends per day.”
• Productivity at least 3 times higher than a classic press brake: the PBE-2500 CNC bending center reaches a theoretical capacity of up to 50.000 folds per day with a 0,2-second cycle per fold, eliminating dead times between operations through the concurrent-linkage synchronization of the 18 CNC axes.
• Universal bending blades: no tool change. A single blade configuration covers the entire range of geometries: straight folds, non-perpendicular folds, positive, negative and flattened (hemmed) bends, large-radius arcs, dead-ends, closed profiles (returns) and complex shapes. The blades are made of CR12MoV or 42CrMo with 52HRC hardness, segmented to 0,006 mm accuracy and fully heat-treated with ultra-deep cooling.
• Integrated robotic vacuum load/unload system: the complete flexible production cell enables continuous operator-free operation. The robotic arm is controlled as a unit by the PBE system: DURMAPRESS automatically generates the robot trajectories based on the bending program, eliminating the time and cost of separate programming.
• 64% lower energy consumption and 65% lower maintenance costs: the fully servo-electric control eliminates pumps, valves and hydraulic oil, reducing CO₂ emissions in proportion to consumption. A direct argument for projects with ESG / sustainability funding or European funds with a DNSH component under Regulation (EU) 852/2020.
• High accuracy with 0,01° angle resolution per cycle: the servo-electric control stabilizes the final fold angle within a maximum of 3 seconds after the end of the mechanical stroke, eliminating oscillations and ensuring high repeatability on large batches.
• Sheet-thickness detection and off-load detection: automatically measuring the real thickness of each panel before the cycle begins protects the machine from unsuitable loads and reduces the scrap rate caused by thickness variations. Missing-part detection stops the cycle before the blades act, essential for integration with the loading robot.
• Automatic program generation from dimensions: the operator enters the part dimensions and bending parameters, and the system automatically generates the complete program, with no step-by-step manual programming. The learning curve is short: a standard operator masters the interface in about 2 hours.
• QT500-7 + GG250 heat-treated cast-iron construction: the frame benefits from a regenerative heat-treatment process that eliminates residual stresses accumulated during casting and welding. It ensures maximum rigidity under load, reduced vibration in operation and an extended service life for continuous industrial production.
• Star300-LGx CNC system with Industry 4.0 architecture: rich software and hardware interfaces for smart-factory integration, industrial protocols, data connections for automated production lines, real-time cloud-based monitoring and upgrade capability without hardware changes. Optional support for a QR/barcode reader for automatic part-program identification.

„We do stainless-steel metal fabrication dedicated to restaurant kitchens. The UZINEX equipment was a radical change: modernization, an increase in production and quality.”
„I had no idea, I was completely clueless. And you started to explain to me. You told me what technologies to choose, what packaging to produce, what would work better on the market.”
„We use a single person who can operate 3-4 machines. Before, we needed 3-4 people to do the same thing.”
„We have multiple challenges in making special structures that serve our systems, and the laser welding machine solution helped us enormously.”
„Laser welding on stainless is something else, it's a completely different thing. The quality of the machines is undeniable: the samples say it all.”
„With Uzinex, I felt very well protected by the assistance they provided. When you have a whole shift stalled and you need someone to answer quickly, it matters enormously.”
„The proof that everything went well is that the equipment now works. We have over three years of experience with no problems. Or when there were issues, there was support. We're satisfied with the collaboration.”
„I can do even 5 boxes for one person, I can also do 10 boxes. Which other firms can't do. That is, they'd have to change dies, set up a whole 12-hour affair.”
„Whether I called at 2 in the morning or at 9 in the morning, the problems got solved. We're satisfied and we'll work together again.”
„A good, smooth collaboration. We always had support and help.”

Six technology directions we integrate turnkey: from plug & play IIoT sensors, to cobots, predictive maintenance, optical inspection, MES connectivity and custom industrial software.
See in real time how much each machine produces and how long it sits idle. We fit sensors on any equipment, new or old, and within a few hours you have the OEE dashboard on your phone. No complex wiring, no production downtime. The first concrete step toward digitalization, with ROI visible from the very first month.
Solve your labor shortage without tripling your costs. The cobot works safely alongside your people (palletizing, feeding the CNC, welding) while you recover the investment in 12-18 months. Prices 30-40% below European distributors, with installation and programming included from us.
Stop waiting for things to break. Our algorithms analyze sensor data and tell you exactly which part will fail and when, and we bring it to your production line before the breakdown. Zero unplanned downtime, zero contractual penalties, complete operational peace of mind.
Eliminate defects before they reach the customer. Our cameras inspect every part at speeds no operator can match, detecting sub-millimeter defects. They mount onto your existing line, with no modifications. Ideal if you produce for export and have strict quality clauses.
Connect your machines to your office, regardless of brand or age. Our gateway automatically translates the data from any machine into your ERP's format: no manual entry, no paper forms, no human error. The manager sees production live, the operator receives digital instructions.
Have a process that no off-the-shelf software can solve? We build custom industrial applications: from tailored SCADA panels and HMI interfaces, to production planning systems, lot traceability and automated reporting. The code is yours, it runs on your servers, with no monthly subscriptions or vendor lock-in.
