About this range
A press brake folds sheet metal between an upper punch and a lower die: the ram presses the sheet into the die opening, and the backgauge behind the tools sets where each bend falls. It turns flat laser- or waterjet-cut blanks into enclosures, brackets, trays, profiles and frames. On a servo-hydraulic machine the two cylinders are driven independently and kept level by closed-loop control on linear scales, so the bend angle stays consistent along the full length and the machine uses energy only while it is moving. The CNC control calculates the bend sequence, positions the backgauge between bends and compensates for the deflection of the bed.
