3. Comparison of Different Series of SC EL CNC Systems

1) SC EL CNC system EL15T

SC EL15T CNC system is the most cost-effective press brake system and the standard configuration for Shenchong CNC press brakes. Based on different display styles, it is divided into the EL15T-A, EL15T-E, and EL15T-K.

EL15T-A:

15.6″ LED true-color LCD
Linux operating system, stable and reliable
Fast startup, with instant power-off functionality
Quad-core processor, 1GHz operating frequency
256MB RAM, 4GB storage

EL15T-E:

Optional resistive or capacitive touchscreen
Programming options include data or 2D graphics
Supports flattening and large arc dies
Stores up to 9,999 dies
100M Ethernet port*1

EL15T-K:

Automatic calculation of bending process and opening height
Deflection compensation selectable in hydraulic or mechanical mode
Calculation of unfolded length, X and R axis positions
