FAQs
A press brake is manufacturing equipment that is used to bend sheet metal. A punch is lowered onto sheet metal that has been positioned on top of a die in order to bend it. It can be bent several times by the press brake until you get your desired shape or configuration. A press brake comes in many different sizes and configurations from small manual machines to large automated systems. They tend to be used in the automotive, aerospace, manufacturing and construction industries.
As it requires a lot of force to bend metal, the punch is lowered onto the sheet metal through different methods. The force application can be hydraulic, servo or electric.
Hydraulic press brake: uses hydraulic cylinders to apply and control the bending force. They can bend a wide range of materials and bending complexities. They offer precise control.
Servo-electric press brake: uses electric servo motors to drive the ram and apply the bending force. They offer speed, high precision and are energy efficient.
Pneumatic press brake: uses compressed air to generate force for bending and is typically used for lighter duties.
Electric press brake: uses motor driven belts to generate force for bending and is typically used for lighter duties.
CNC press brake: is equipped with computerised controls and programming capabilities. They’re suitable for small and large-scale production and intricate bending tasks.
Automation: Pressbrakes can be manually loaded by an operator, or automated with Robot loading operating in a protective cell. In addition, operators can work alongside CoBots.
The amount of force each press brake provides differs. This is known as tonnage, as in it measures the tons of force that the press brake can deliver. Hydraulic presses are required for high levels of force whilst servo-electric and electric presses are generally for lower levels of force.
The maximum bending capacity depends on the press brake model. It is determined by the machine’s tonnage rating, the length of the bed, the bottom vee size and the material that you’re bending.
You can bend a wide range of materials including steel, stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminium and more. It may require different tooling and settings depending on the material’s characteristics.
Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of your press brake. It would depend on the frequency of use and intensity. We recommend that you have routine inspections, lubrication and adjustments carried out to your press brake. Adhering to a maintenance schedule helps to prevent breakdowns, ensures safety and maximises the lifespan of the machine.
