Projects & commissioning highlights

110-ton press brake line, commissioned on site

In April 2025 we completed a 110T / 4000 mm electric-hydraulic press brake together with a matching shear, both finished with on-site commissioning at the customer's factory — Y1/Y2 cylinder synchronisation, backgauge setup and operator training on their own production parts before the line went into production. The full commissioning record is in the news section with photographs from the floor.

This is the standard scope on every KECMT export order, not a highlight reel: pre-shipment testing and video, then commissioning and training on site before the machine is signed off for production.

Exhibition demonstrations

We exhibit where our buyers are. At the Xi'an Metal Fabrication Machine Exhibition (13-16 March 2025, booth 2A208) our electric-hydraulic CNC press brakes ran live bending demonstrations all week — ±0.01 mm repeat positioning accuracy and 180-200 mm/s rapid bending speeds demonstrated on real parts, not spec sheets. The exhibition write-up covers the machines we showed, and our booth appearances at the China Eurasia industrial exhibition in 2024 are documented in the home page gallery.

If you would rather see a machine before committing than read about one, ask us where we are exhibiting next — or arrange a demonstration run on your own material.

Custom-engineered configurations

A meaningful share of what we build does not exist in any catalogue, because the part does not exist in any catalogue either. The configurations below are standing product lines, each built for a geometry a standard frame cannot reach:

• Deep-throat press brakes — for long members bent far from the edge, where standard uprights hit the workpiece before the punch does.
• Tandem press brake systems — coordinated two-machine setups bending components longer than any single bed.
• Robotic press brake cells — integrated automation for high-volume production, including cobot cells compared on the numbers against premium-brand automation.
• Automatic press brakes — automatic loading configurations for batch work where operator time dominates the cycle.
• Cable tray making lines — complete roll-forming lines for the cable tray and enclosure trade.

Custom work starts with the part drawing, not a price list. Send the geometry that does not fit a standard frame and we will tell you what building for it involves.

Retrofit and upgrade projects

Not every project is a new machine. Retrofit and upgrade work covers NC-to-CNC conversion, backgauge upgrades, control replacement and tooling changes — and the used-versus-new guide exists because the honest recommendation is sometimes neither. The DIY press brake kits serve the other end of the same market: shops that want to build bending capability onto a shop press they already own.

What we will and will not show

We show machines, configurations, certificates and the commissioning process — all of which are verifiable. We do not show customer names without permission, and we do not publish performance claims ("40% less downtime", "35% more output") that cannot be documented. When you ask us for references, the answer you get will be the accurate one, including "that customer prefers to stay private".
