Choosing your Press Brake

A sheet metal forming solution for workshops and fabrication lines. The machine configuration is determined by your material, thickness, bending length, component geometry, and production pattern.

Four factors that determine the configuration

We do not recommend a model based only on machine size. Your main job data helps avoid insufficient capacity or unnecessary specifications.

1. Material and thickness

The material type and the minimum and maximum thicknesses processed most often.

2. Bending length

The maximum workpiece length that must be formed in a single operation.

3. Component geometry

Drawings or photos help determine tooling, opening, and bending sequence requirements.

4. Production pattern

Product variety, workload, operator experience, and repeatability requirements.
