BRUDERER presents two innovations at Blechexpo 2025: the B3 machine control for the BSTA range of automatic stamping presses and the BSP lamination stacking control for rotor-stator production. The benefits for stamping automation are high process reliability, intuitive operation and maximum productivity with the highest quality. The BSP is fully integrated into the machine control system, and in addition, it is also available as a stand-alone solution.
At Blechexpo in Stuttgart from October 21 to 24, BRUDERER will be demonstrating its new products live in action in hall 6, stand 6309, on a stamping line with a BSTA 810 stamping press, a BSV servo feeder and a stamping tool from partner company Erich Grau GmbH.
The new standard for automatic stamping presses
The B3 control has been completely redesigned based on experience gained from over 5,000 installed B and B2 systems. It is intuitive to use and easy to learn, reducing the need for operator training. Its tile-style user interface can be individually configured and role-based access rights increase security. The 21-inch touchscreen allows direct access to all functions of the automatic stamping press and connected peripherals – including those from third-party suppliers.
Thanks to its modular design, the B3 control is simple to operate and yet scalable, which means that it can be set up for simple stamping processes as well as more complex operations.
Compared to the previous version, the installation and setup of the stamping tools have been made more flexible and process control has been expanded. For the first time, the setup and monitoring of tools, sliders and indexing stations can be automatically taught in at the touch of a button using an intelligent parameterisation system, which allows easier monitoring of stamping presses.
Future-proof reliability
The main window on the screen is designed to control the stamping tool, press force and position. Additional envelope monitoring displays changes in individual modules in real time, enabling faults to be detected more quickly. If the BSP lamination stacking control system is used, integrated strip measurement also contributes to greater process reliability.
OPC-UA interfaces enable continuous connectivity with machines, production control systems and IIoT applications. The B3 control system will be available on new BSTA stamping presses from 2026. Existing BRUDERER machines can be retrofitted from mid-2026.
Greater efficiency in rotor-stator manufacturing
The new BSP lamination stacking control is an efficient solution for the growing market of electric motor and transformer component manufacturing. The control system is based on our B3 technology and designed to enable complex lamination stacking strategies with simple operation.
The BSP supports high-precision stacking strategies with up to eight programmable channels used in parallel. Reusable sheet metal shapes, comprehensive diagnostic and statistical functions, and the ability to export relevant process data enable targeted optimisation in line with Industry 4.0 principles.
A key feature is automatically configuring components, which speed up tool set-up and reduce the risk of errors. Up to six indexing stations can be set up via plug-and-play. Motors are automatically detected, parameterised and monitored, and also sliders and tool monitors set themselves automatically, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual adjustments.
Extensive process control
Comprehensive measurement and monitoring technology is in integral part of the BSP lamination stacking control. In addition to position monitoring for up to eight channels, it offers a patented strip measurement system with stack height control. Material fluctuations of ±0,01 mm or more are detected inline and automatically compensated for, ensuring consistent product dimensions.
The new BSP lamination stacking control is available either integrated into the B3 control system or as a stand-alone version.
