A Versatile Metalworking Tool
A CNC press brake is a machine tool used to bend sheet metal into various angles and shapes. Equipped with computer numerical control (CNC), it offers precise and repeatable bending capabilities.
How it Works
A CNC press brake primarily consists of:
- Bed: The base of the machine that supports the workpiece.
- Ram: The movable upper part that applies pressure to the metal sheet.
- Tooling: Punches and dies that shape the metal.
- Back gauge: A device that positions the workpiece accurately.
- CNC controller: The brain of the machine, directing its operations.
The CNC controller allows for precise control over:
- Bend angle
- Length of the bend
- Position of the workpiece
- Speed of the ram
Key Benefits of CNC Press Brakes
