Sanson Northwest Machinery Completes ESAutomation Control Upgrade on Customer’s Amada Press Brake
Modern Performance Without Replacing the Machine
At Sanson Northwest Machinery, we help fabrication shops stay competitive by upgrading their existing equipment—not just replacing it.
We recently completed a full CNC control upgrade using ESAutomation technology on a customer’s Amada press brake, bringing modern capabilities to a proven, reliable machine.
Why Upgrade Instead of Replace?
Amada press brakes are built to last. Structurally, many of these machines are still in excellent condition even after years of use. The biggest limitation is often the outdated control system.
By upgrading to an ESAutomation control, our customer was able to:
-
Extend the life of their machine
-
Improve productivity without major capital expense
-
Modernize operations with current technology
-
Increase accuracy and repeatability
Instead of spending hundreds of thousands on a new press brake, they made a smart, cost-effective upgrade.
What the ESAutomation Control Upgrade Delivers
The new ES Automation control system brings a completely modern experience to the machine:
-
Intuitive touchscreen interface
-
Faster and simplified programming
-
Improved bend sequencing
-
Higher precision and repeatability
-
Reduced setup time between jobs
Operators can now program parts quicker, make adjustments on the fly, and run jobs more efficiently than ever before.
Installation & Hands-On Training
During this project, our team worked closely with the customer on-site to ensure everything was fully dialed in.
That includes:
-
Control installation and configuration
-
Machine calibration and testing
-
Tooling verification
-
Real-time job setup assistance
-
Operator training on the new system
We don’t just install and leave—we make sure your team is ready to run production immediately.
The Result: A Faster, Smarter Press Brake
After the upgrade, the customer is already seeing:
-
Faster setup times
-
More consistent parts
-
Less trial and error
-
Improved operator confidence
-
Increased throughput
This is exactly what a control upgrade should do—unlock the full potential of the machine you already own.
Is Your Press Brake Holding You Back?
If you’re dealing with:
-
Outdated or difficult-to-use controls
-
Slow programming and setup
-
Inconsistent bending results
-
Increased scrap or rework
It might not be your machine—it might just be your control.
