Overview
The Ermak Speed-Bend 3100-110 is Ermaksan's high-speed servo-electric press brake, designed for fabricators who prioritise cycle time, energy efficiency, and dry-run cleanliness over maximum raw tonnage. Driven by AC servo motors coupled to a ball-screw transmission, the Speed-Bend eliminates hydraulic oil entirely, delivering approach speeds up to 200 mm/s and bending speeds of 10 mm/s with instant reversal — characteristics that conventional hydraulic machines cannot match.
With 110 tonnes of pressing force and a 3,100 mm working length, the Speed-Bend 3100-110 targets the high-volume thin-gauge segment: electronics enclosures, light structural work, and precision sheet metal assemblies where tight tolerances and short cycle times are critical. The ball-screw drive provides inherently repeatable ram positioning to ±0.005 mm, reducing setup time and scrap rates in high-mix, low-volume environments where job changeovers are frequent.
The machine is controlled by a Delem DA-69T or equivalent touch-screen CNC with 3D part simulation, automatic bend sequence optimisation, and network connectivity for DNC operation. The servo-electric architecture means energy is consumed only during the active bending stroke, with regenerative braking returning energy to the grid during the return stroke — resulting in energy savings of 60–70% compared to a conventional hydraulic press brake of equivalent capacity.
For food, pharmaceutical, and electronics industries where contamination is a concern, the absence of hydraulic oil is a major compliance advantage. The Speed-Bend 3100-110 is CE-marked and ATEX-compatible variants are available for environments where oil mist from conventional hydraulics would be a hazard. Ermaksan pairs the machine with its standard European distribution and after-sales network.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Servo-electric drive eliminates hydraulic oil, making it ideal for clean-room adjacent, food, pharma, and electronics environments
- Ram positioning accuracy of ±0.005 mm delivers tighter angle tolerances than most hydraulic press brakes
- Energy savings of 60–70% versus conventional hydraulic press brakes of equivalent capacity due to regenerative braking
- High approach and return speeds up to 200 mm/s significantly reduce non-productive cycle time in high-volume runs
- Low maintenance requirements with no hydraulic seals, filters, or oil changes needed over the machine's service life
Limitations
- Maximum tonnage of 110 tonnes limits the machine to thinner gauge materials; heavy structural bending requires the Falcon Bend or HYB-Press series
- Ball-screw drive is less tolerant of off-centre loading than hydraulic machines, requiring more careful tooling setup to avoid uneven wear
- Higher initial purchase price than equivalent-capacity conventional hydraulic press brakes from the same manufacturer

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The Speed-Bend 3100-110 is broadly comparable in drive architecture and cycle time to servo-electric press brakes from Trumpf and Bystronic. The key differentiator is price: Ermaksan typically delivers 20–35% lower acquisition cost for equivalent specifications, though European competitors may offer more mature software ecosystems and broader global service networks.
02
The Speed-Bend handles material from 0.5 mm stainless steel up to approximately 6 mm mild steel at full 3,100 mm length within its 110-tonne capacity. Thicker material can be bent in shorter segments using partial tooling contact. The machine is optimised for 0.8–3 mm gauge ranges at production speeds.
03
The Speed-Bend 3100-110 requires a three-phase 400V/50Hz supply (or 480V/60Hz for North American markets) with a connected load of approximately 22 kW. The regenerative drive system means peak demand is lower than the connected load suggests, benefiting shops with limited electrical capacity.
04
Yes. Ermaksan offers offline programming compatible with the Delem DA-69T control. Third-party CAD/CAM solutions such as Radan, Metalix, and Lantek also support Ermaksan press brakes, allowing NC programs to be generated from CAD models and transferred via network or USB.
05
The machine includes Fiessler or equivalent laser safety guarding on the front of the ram as standard, providing Category 4 / PLe protection. A two-hand control console and foot pedal with dead-man operation are standard. Rear guards and perimeter light curtains are available as options for automated cell integration.
