Press Brake

What is Press Brake?

A press brake bends sheet and plate metal by pressing it between a punch and die to a programmed angle. CNC press brakes control the ram depth and backgauge for accurate, repeatable bends — the core of sheet-metal fabrication after cutting.

Capacity is rated by tonnage and bending length.
