Whatever your bending needs may be, the BB series will meet them all.
A press brake, a machine used to bend and cut metal sheets upto 20 mm in thickness, is an example of a machine tool. The press brake is made up of a U-shaped (or V-shaped) die and a punch. The material to bent is placed on a die and pressed with the punch.
The press brake is a must-have for any metal fabrication shop. Despite being the most crucial piece of machinery in a shop and highly valued, many people don't understand them. We've created this guide for you to better understand the press brakes.
A one-of-a-kind technology that makes efficient, quality results available to press brake operators of all skill levels.
Press brakes are a necessity to almost any metal fabrication shop. Unfortunately, despite being one of the most important and desired pieces of machinery in a shop, they’re still misunderstood—even by professionals. To help you better understand press brakes, we put together this short, layman’s-level guide.
Flexible and reliable bending performances with the patented HEXA (r) frame – all this in a cost-efficient package
High productivity, heavy-duty bending performance, and intuitive operation – all in a cost-efficient package
Hydraulic press brakes are ideal for heavy-duty work and can be customized to tackle the most diverse combinations of customer forming requirements—from high tonnage to long length, tandem, and everything in between.
Our BB series has the right bending tools for you.
The next step is to determine the characteristics that will be used to calculate the part bend. For example:
Our CNC hydraulic press brakes offer a high level of precision and are highly value-oriented. They feature large strokes and daylights as well as deep throats. This allows for the production of simple and complex shapes, which require large dimensions to be easily handled and removed. A simple cnc control makes it easier for operators to operate. The price is right for a press brake of such high quality.
"The accuracy is amazing and the repeatability are excellent. Five days running a job, I saw no difference between the first and last parts bent on day one. The same thing happened on day five. This plus the faster setup time translate to higher profitability.
The tonnage is the press force of the press brake. It determines the amount of pressure that can be applied by the punch during the bending operation.
It is a unique technology that allows press brake operators of all skill levels to produce high quality, efficient results.
With about 70 lbs, the average person can push on the brake pedal. You can apply the brake pedal with about 70 lbs. To stop a moving vehicle disc brakes require 800-1200 psi at their calipers. All parts of the system amplify the force you apply to the pedal.

Semi-trucks use compressed air for their brakes instead of hydraulic fluid. Semi-trucks have a lot of weight so they need air to brake.
Crowning is the method by which press brakes correct for deflections in both the upper beam or lower bed when pressure applies. There are different methods, depending on the model and make of the press brake.
