QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS –

1. Received 08 March 2020 8:27 PM Vendor Question – I don't see a requirement for at the minimum, manual crowning, and more likely CNC crowning. As a large commercial supplier of North America's #1 selling press brake brand, also USA produced and the brand most purchased by the U.S. government/ military, most machines of this size typically are provided with and require crowning to compensate for deflection on longer parts that will occur at or above the mid- tonnage range of the machine. Is there no requirement for manual or CNC crowning for this machine?

Government Response – Answered 09 March 2020 08:42 AM The brake press must have the CNC crowning as a standard feature, a wedge style system that is mated to each machine.

2. Received 10 March 2020 12:17 PM Vendor Question - you mentioned training on the equipment is needed. Please specify how many hours of training is required? Is training required for different shifts? Please advise...

Government Response – Answered 10 March 2020 13:20 PM - Typically it is two days 16-20 hours. One day for the machine and one day for the computer console/operations.
