The parts would have been perfect for fabrication in a press brake except for the 4 mm thickness of the plate steel, which was a little much for his smallish brake. To make the bending a little ...

Over the past two months, we’ve discussed how an air bend forms as the bend length gets longer. In shorter bends, the radius ...

Press brakes are metal forming machines used to bend and fold sheet and plate metal by pressing it between tooling referred to as a punch and a die. Folds and lips help to stiffen sheet metal panels.

Press brake tooling includes dies and punches used with a press brake to form, bend or flatten sheet metal. Press brake tools are used in conjunction with a press brake, which operates are heavy boom ...
