Atek's Bantam Press Brakes are recognized worldwide as proven performers giving more years of service in the field than any comparable unit. The rugged lever weldment absorbs torque generated by off center loads. Bed deflection is less than industry standards. From the smallest shop to the largest corporation, the Bantam name is known for dependable productivity.

Adjustable Stroke Depth Control is provided by the screw stop for precise repeatability. Raise the adjustable bed and shorten the ram stroke to maximixe productivity while reducing air consumption and minimizing the pinch point for safer operation.

Ram Speed Control via an infinitely variable valve allows instant adjustment of air flow to the dual cylinders. A minimum setting creates a creep mode for setup, or select any other position to safely match ram speed with your job.

 

Safety Hooded Foot Pedal controls all ram motion. Fully depress control pedal for down stroke. Slightly release pedal to stop advancing the ram. Completely release pedal at any time and the counter-balanced ram automatically retracts to the top of the stroke. For added safety, the ram retracts if air supply is removed.

Modular FRL Unit is standard on all models to condition air supply to pneumatic components for long life. The unit consists of an adjustable filter/regulator module with pressure gauge, adjustable flow lubricator module and a three-way lockable shut-off valve. The valve is vented to relieve downstream pressure in the off position per OSHA guidelines. Keyed padlock and lockout tag are included.

Variable Tonnage Control provided through the modular filter/regulator/lubricator unit delivers twelve or twenty-four tons of ram force to form up to 3/8" or 1/2" at maximum pressure. Lower the pressure to suit the job, reduce air consumption and preserve tooling.

 

Every Atek Bantam is designed and built with quality and attention to details. Ram guides are simple to adjust and provide years of service. All critical pivot points are heat treated and equipped with grease fittings. Special bushing material is engineered for high loads to support the rocking lever pivot shaft.

Our fully Pneumatic Press Brakes require minimal service. Designed for simplicity, there are few moving parts to wear out - no motor, clutch or brake to maintain or replace.

Adjustable Die Space handles numerous tool sets and reduces or eliminates the pinch point. Per OSHA guidelines, a die space gap of 1/4" or less is not a pinch point and provides the safest operation method. Loosen the bed and raise or lower it with the large bed elevating screws. Leveling of bed to ram is easily accomplished using this feature.
