Bending Using a Press Brake
Operator gauges the flange.
Operator has to support the material.
Most of the sheet hangs out of the press brake.
Side Frame
Bending Using a Press Brake
The angle is determined by:1) The stroke of the ram2) Tooling type3) Material thickness
variances4) How well the operator
supports the material

Advantages of a Folding Machine Fast setup, makes the customer’s PB more efficient No marking on polished or sensitive material Larger parts are easily run by a single operator Superior ergonomics, parts are supported by the
backgauge table Blank inaccuracy is corrected on the 1st bend Machine sets up for material thickness automatically One set of universal tooling for life of machine Less skilled operator, hard to find PB operators Safety, no part “whip up” during forming
Original Combi Beam
Upper beam consists of two tool types Upper beam rotates for quick tool
change over Less tool manipulation by operator Beam rotation is programmable
Eccentric Drive of the Upper Beam
High clamping pressure
Low noise Little or no wear No oil Low maintenance
Food Equipment Manufacturers
Stainless Steel application
Large panels
Different radii on the same part with no additional set up
Hollow Metal Doors Doors and Frames can be produced on
same machine with same tooling set up. Repeatability in bending beam adjust for
door hems.
“Job Shops”
One tooling set Fewer tool set ups Decreased labor costs Machine versatility Quick job change over
Summary No marking on polished or sensitive
material Parts are supported by the
backgauge table Larger parts are easily run by a
single operator Blank inaccuracy is corrected on
the 1st bend Original Combi beam with two tool
types First Class Service and Support with
2 year warranty
