• A press brake is a machine capable of bending metal sheets

  Oct 14, 2025

  A press brake is a machine capable of bending thin sheets. Its structure primarily consists of a support, a worktable, and a clamping plate. The worktable is mounted on the support and consists of a base and a pressure plate. The base is hinged to the clamping plate. The base consists of a housing, a coil, and a cover. The coil is located in a recess in the housing, and the top of the recess is covered by the cover. During operation, a wire energizes the coil, generating an attractive force on the pressure plate, thereby clamping the sheet between the pressure plate and the base. The electromagnetic clamping mechanism allows the pressure plate to be shaped to various workpiece requirements and can process workpieces with side walls, making operation very simple.   CNC press brakes and...

• Maintenance and upkeep of the press brake

  Oct 11, 2025

  Before performing machine maintenance or cleaning, the upper punch should be aligned with the lower dies and the machine should be lowered and turned off until the work is completed. If startup or other operations are required, the mode should be selected as manual and safety should be ensured. The maintenance content is as follows:   1. Hydraulic oil circuit 1) Check the oil level in the fuel tank every week, and also check it after hydraulic system maintenance. If the oil level is below the oil window, add hydraulic oil; 2) The hydraulic oil used in this machine is ISO HM46 or MOBIL DTE25; 3) The new machine should have its oil changed after 2000 hours of operation, and every 4000-6000 hours of operation thereafter. After each oil change, the oil tank should be cleaned; 4) The syste...

• How to Use a Press Brake

  Oct 05, 2025

  1. First, turn on the power, turn on the key switch on the control panel, and then press the oil pump to start. 2. Stroke Adjustment: When using a press brake, always pay attention to stroke adjustment and perform a test run before bending. When the upper die of the press brake reaches its lowest point, ensure there is a gap equal to the plate thickness. Failure to do so will damage the die and the machine. Stroke adjustment is available through both electric quick adjustment and manual fine adjustment. 3. Select the bending notch. Generally, choose a notch width that is eight times the plate thickness. For example, if you are bending a 4mm plate, you should choose a notch width of approximately 32mm. 4. Adjusting the back gauge is generally available through electric quick adjustment and...
