To make things simpler for your understanding, let’s divide the term into two components. CNC refers to the computer numerical control and a press brake is a machine which is used in the manufacturing process. Press brakes are high-performance machines used for bending sheets and plate material utilizing painting the metal between matching ‘punch’ and … Read more
One of the benefits of many types of metals is the fact that they are relatively ductile; ductility ensures that metals bend before they break. This ductility allows them to be formed to be a certain shape and size. This makes metals versatile, since oftentimes flat pieces of sheet metal must have their shape altered … Read more
A modern CNC press brake will often be offered with a multi axis CNC control. What benefits do the different axes bring? Or are they just adding complexity without increasing productivity? What is the minimum you need? To help with these common questions I have summarised the functions and productivity benefits which the various axes … Read more
A press brake is a vital piece of machinery for any metal fabrication shop but it can be a complex choice when deciding how your new press brake should be equipped. There are multiple options in machine makes, models & sizes as well as what drives them (As we discussed in this article: What’s Driving … Read more
Most bending parts are produced using air bending, bottom bending, or folding and hemming. These methods and processes all work in the same way: A punch presses the workpiece into the lower tool of the die. That is why the bending machines which carry out these methods and processes are called press brakes. Krrass offers … Read more
What are the advantages of Press Brake proportional pressure control? Numerical control is digital control in Press Brake – it is the realization of modern automation equipment that controls the equipment system through the equipment program. The numerical control operating equipment makes the input instructions, through the compilation of the program, become the language that … Read more
