CNC Controls
RAGOS press brakes come with the RAGOS LT18 control as standard. Cybelec and Delem controls are available as options on RAGOS press brakes, so you can match the control your operators already know.
| Control | Display | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| RAGOS LT18 (standard) | 18-inch high-definition color display | Developed by RAGOS. Adapts to 4 to 8 axes, 2D and 3D graphic display, graphic mold scanning, and a connection to enterprise digital management software. A Cybelec/Delem-style operator interface can be selected. |
| Cybelec CybTouch (optional) | High-contrast touch screen (CT-8, CT-12, CT-15) | Concise, clear pages. Selectable axes Y1, Y2, X, R, A1, A2 and V. 2D and 3D graphics with manual simulation of bending programs. USB transfer of programs, wireless connection to a computer for software upgrades and backups, and an EasyBend page for bending in a single pass. |
| Delem (optional) | Touch screens from about 15.6 to 24 inches, depending on model (DA-53Tx, DA-58Tx, DA-66T, DA-66S, DA-69S) | Touch navigation with shortcuts, selectable axes Y1, Y2, X, R, A1, A2 and V, deflection compensation control, USB interface, and offline programming software (Profile-53TL, Profile-58TL or Profile-S 3D by model). Higher models add 2D and 3D graphical programming and optional Industry 4.0 connectivity (OPC-UA). |

Laser Safety Devices
A laser safety device protects the press brake operator from crushing between the moving upper beam and the fixed lower beam. When an object such as a finger enters the protected zone, the device sends a signal and stops the ram. These devices are optional on RAGOS press brakes.
- DSP laser safety device: forms a protected area around the tool tip, covering the front, middle and back areas. The zone moves with the die, so anything below the tool must enter it before reaching the tool tip, and the ram stops its downward motion.
- MSD safety device: mounted on the upper or lower beam. A laser beam runs from a transmitter to a receiver along the bending length, and any object that breaks it stops the upper beam through the CNC.
- DSP AP-MCS safety device: a transmitter, receiver and safety control module that also receives alarms from the machine and passes safety signals to the CNC.
Laser Angle Detection and Compensation (Optional)
Angle measuring systems check the bend angle while you work and feed the result back to the control to compensate for material springback and thickness variation. Options include a portable angle measuring instrument, a mobile laser angle measuring instrument, and a laser angle measurement unit that works with the control. Ask us which fits your machine.
Precision Press Brake Dies
RAGOS dies are quenched and ground to tight tolerances on every key dimension, so parts come out right without correction. Heat-treated dies last longer than ordinary dies, which lowers the cost of every part.
- Hardness: overall quenching to HRC 47 ± 3 on upper tools
- Lower dies: 46 mm tall, 88° and 83° styles in C45 steel, rated up to 800 kN/m, in single-V, double-V, multiple-V and recombination die holder formats
- Upper tools: straight, gooseneck-style, 30° and 45° sharp tools, flanging tools that avoid the position punch, and flatten punch tools, in heights from roughly 67 to 124 mm
- Standard segments: dies are split into 835 mm lengths so any bending length can be assembled easily. A full upper set is cut in segments of 100 (with lugs), 10, 15, 20, 40, 50, 200 and 300 mm, and the lower in 10, 15, 20, 40, 50, 100, 200 and 400 mm.
- Combinations: for example, 2,000 mm = 835 + 415 + 835 mm, 3,200 mm = three 835 mm lengths plus one 835 mm segmented length, and 4,000 mm = four 835 mm lengths plus one segmented length

Frequently Asked Questions About RAGOS Controls, Safety and Dies
Which control is standard on a RAGOS press brake?
The RAGOS LT18, with an 18-inch color display. Cybelec CybTouch and Delem controls are options.
Do I need a laser safety device?
Laser safety devices are optional but strongly recommended for operator protection. They stop the ram if a hand or object enters the protected zone below the tool tip.
Can I use my existing dies?
Often yes if the dies match the tool holder style. Send us your die profiles and machine model and we will check compatibility.
What are the standard die lengths?
RAGOS dies are built in standard 835 mm lengths with shorter segments, so any bending length can be assembled easily.
Does TFS support controls and safety devices after install?
Yes. We provide operator training, technical support, preventive maintenance and spare parts.
Need Help Choosing Controls, Safety or Dies?
Send us your part drawings, material and thickness. We will recommend the right machine, length and tooling, and quote installation and training.
