• 4 Common Mistakes Made When Operating a Press Brake

  Jan 29, 2026

      The press brake is one of the most useful and common sheet metal machines used on a fabricating floor. Its versatility for bending a variety of materials in different thicknesses and compatibility with a wide range of different press brake tools makes it a staple piece that can solely achieve dozens of different bends and shapes.   But if you don’t know what you’re doing, then, like any other sheet metal machine, a press brake can be a dangerous machine. Today’s article will highlight four common mistakes that are made by new press brake operators.   1.     Performing pre-work checks Something that every operator should get in the habit of doing is performing pre-work checks to ensure that all elements of the machine are in appropria...

• What material requirements should CNC press brake tooling meet?

  Oct 23, 2025

  To ensure the durability of CNC press brake tooling, the selection of materials is extremely stringent. Only materials that meet the following requirements are considered high-quality.   1. Wear resistance   This is a basic and crucial material property. During the production process, intense friction occurs between the mold surface and the workpiece. If the material is not wear-resistant, the CNC press brake tools will easily become damaged and fail.   2. Toughness   The working environment is relatively harsh, and the mold must withstand tremendous impact forces. Only strong and tough materials can withstand such impact without breaking.   3. High-temperature resistance   CNC bending tool operate in high-temperature environments, which can reduce their hardn...

• Types of press brake tooling Ⅰ

  Oct 02, 2025

  Now we need to move to the “proper tooling” which means choosing the tool from the catalog which will be good to bend your part or what mainly should be ordered for your production. And to speak about it we need to make a complete brief of tooling types and possibilities. We will try not to base on any tooling system but just the possible geometry of tools and their possibilities for bending.   If you have the beginner level it is reasonable also to make a small introduction to press brake tooling itself and to divide it into the simple following categories:   Bending punch - an upper tool so the tool will be attached directly to the moveable beam of the press brake or upper holder on the beam and will be moved together with the beam. We select punch based on the nece...

• What are the upper and lower tools of the press brake?

  Oct 02, 2025

  What are the upper and lower tools of the press brake ?  Let's see how the tools are classified     1. The press brake tools include L-shaped, R-shaped, U-shaped, and Z-shaped press tools.   2. The upper tool of the press brake has different angles of 90 degrees, 88 degrees, 45 degrees, 30 degrees, 20 degrees, and 15 degrees. The lower tool is generally divided into 400mm, 200mm, 100mm, 50mm, 40mm, 20mm, 15mm, 10mm, totaling 835mm.   3. The lower tool of the press brake has 4~18V double groove and single groove, with different groove widths, as well as R lower tool, sharp angle lower tool, flattening tool, etc.   4. The upper and lower tools are divided into sections and overall: the upper tool is generally divided into 300mm, 200mm, 100mm, 100mm, 50mm, 40mm,...
