Press Brake Machine

A press brake is a machine pressing tool for bending sheet and plate material, most commonly sheet metal. It forms predetermined bends by clamping the workpiece between a matching punch and die.Press braking, or brake forming, is a metal deformation process that aligns a piece of sheet or plate metal along an axis. This is achieved by using a machine pressing tool (press brake) to clamp the metal piece between a punch and a die set for prearranged bending.There are two primary types of press brakes: hydraulic and electronic. Hydraulic press brakes are the oldest press brakes and as such are more common than their electronic counterparts. Hydraulic press brakes can handle the heaviest workloads.A CNC hydraulic press brake is a sheet and plate metal bending machine. By clamping the workpiece between a punch and die, the press brake shapes curves, and CNC is used to pre-program these processes.
