Press brakes

Press brakes are machines that bend sheet between a punch and die. The category covers standalone, tandem and robot-assisted press-brake systems. Folders, stamping presses and forging presses are not in this category. How to read the specifications in this category: Maximum bending force is the rated press force, not the machine weight. Maximum bending length is the supported bending or working length. The distance between columns is a separate value, distinct from the full bending length. Ram stroke is the travel of the ram, not the open or daylight height. Throat depth is a stated geometric clearance. Backgauge axis count is the number of controlled backgauge axes, not the total number of machine axes. Drive type is the declared machine-level type: hydraulic, electric or hybrid. A model page shows only the values that a documented source states.
