As an exhibition premiere, BRUDERER presents the new-generation B3 control for BSTA automatic stamping presses at Blechexpo 2025. The Swiss manufacturer has integrated numerous new functions into this innovative product. The process control has been improved and the operation simplified, in line with current user-centric standards. The future-proofed control system also enables seamless connection of a wide range of peripheral devices, including those from third-party suppliers, and supports open data exchange with machines, production control systems and IIoT applications via OPC-UA interfaces.
According to BRUDERER this makes stamping processes easier, faster and more reliable to control.
Fully integrated solution
The B3 control system has been newly designed from scratch. It incorporates the experience gained from more than 5,000 installed B and B2 control systems. At Blechexpo 2025, it is shown integrated into a stamping line consisting of a BSTA stamping press, a BSV servo feed unit and a BSP lamination stacking control, another recent BRUDERER innovation. The B3 control system’s user-friendly operation panel allows all functions to be operated and controlled centrally, including those of connected peripheral devices.
Intuitive operation, flexible working
The 21-inch touchscreen with tile view has a user interface which can be individually configured to suit each user and allows direct access to all functions of the stamping press and peripherals.
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. Whether it is rotor-stator production with the help of the new BSP lamination stacking control or the complete production of connectors, the B3 is ideally suited to a wide range of functions and requirements.
Greater process reliability, less tool-set up effort
The B3 control systems features a role-based access system with predefined user rights, which helps to reduce operating errors. Stamping tool, press force and position are controlled in the main operating window. Additional envelope monitoring displays changes in individual modules in real time, enabling stamping faults to be detected more quickly.
For the first time, the monitoring of stamping tools, slides and indexing stations can be automatically programmed at the touch of a button using an intelligent parameterisation system – previously, this had to be programmed manually.
Available from 2026 for BSTA stamping presses
The B3 control system will be available on new BSTA stamping presses from 2026. Existing BRUDERER automatic stamping presses can be upgraded from mid-2026. The tried-and-tested B2 control system will continue to be supported.
BRUDERER is now recognised as a technology leader in the manufacture of automatic stamping presses – Swiss Made.
