While the Accurpress ETS200 control had the same look as the 100 – but included two-axis (X & Y) backgauge control with 100 onboard programs, nine steps per program, and a catalog screen. The Accurpress ETS100 Control worked with a Single-axis (X) backgauge control with 16 onboard programs, five steps per program. Accurpress ETS100 & ETS200 Controllers for single and two-axis backgauge controls. The ETS100 and 200 were mounted on the pedestal, and the ETS20 were mounted on the right side of the machine. While rudimentary compared with today’s modern press brake controls, these controls were sufficient to meet most press brake shops’ needs in the 1990s and early 2000.Īs an industry leader in press brake manufacturing, Accurpress offered several upgrades for CNC Gauging in the early years of ETS, from entry-level (ETS100) to its automatic multiple axis controls (ETS3000).

The standard functions of the control included: The ETS was mounted on a pedestal incorporating a footswitch and dual palm buttons that gave the operator control over ram movements. The unit allowed storage of a total of 16 different bend programs in its memory. An LCD on the ETS showed the program details as text, and there were no graphic controls. The ETS programmable logic control (PLC) unit allowed press brake functions to be controlled by the operator through push-button controls over ram depth settings and tonnage limits. The ETS Pedestal Control was described as providing “All press brake functions at one station,” however, this is no longer an accurate description since it doesn’t provide CNC Gauging Controls that are a critical component for today’s modern press brake. The company provided a basic ETS pedestal control with all its press brakes. In the 1990’s, Accurpress upgraded to its ETS CNC Control systems.
