About the HURCO Autobend AB5/S7
The HURCO Autobend AB5/S7 is a CNC back gauge / backstop control system used on press brakes to automate material positioning. It helps set accurate bend positions by moving the rear stop/gauge to programmed positions, rather than relying on manual measurement.

This type of unit is useful for:

Press brake repairs
Back gauge retrofits
Sheet metal machinery upgrades
Replacement HURCO Autobend parts
Servo drive / control cabinet parts
Industrial automation component recovery
The Hurco Autobend AB5/S7 is a, now often retrofitted, CNC press brake gauging system consisting of an AB5 controller (often CNC 150) paired with an S7 backgauge unit. It automates X-axis (depth) gauging, providing up to 24" of travel, speeds up to 800 ipm, and a gauge bar length of up to 11'6".

Approx.dimensions:
1825 x 1100 x 600 H mm
Approx. weight: 170 kg
