This type of bend is used most frequently for sheet metalworking because it can be used with machines with reduced capacities. It is not as strong as bottom bending, which is more difficult.
Bottom bending involves bending the metal sheet using a punch with a force that is 3 to 5 times stronger than air bending. This decreases or prevents the springback effect commonly associated with airbending. This begins with air bending and continues at the bottom with cold forging.
The tonnage is the press force of the press brake. It determines the amount of pressure that can be applied by the punch during the bending operation.
This game-changing tool changer provides real-time information that allows any press brake operator to perform better.
It’s been said that "the little guys sometimes punch well above their weight class." Such is the case with our small 4 foot press brake. This compact bender comes standard with a CNC controlled X axis back gauge, tangs that accept euro or american style tooling, LED rear working light, two sliding front sheet supports with a linear rail, and a dual palm/foot station with a selector switch. You for sure are going to want to check out this new powerful, fast and accurate small press brake that packs a bend "punch" like no other.
Our energy-efficient, all-electric BB series press brakes come specially designed with a collection of ultra-modern, performance-enhancing features that are perfect for meeting and exceeding the demanding requirements facing today’s production machinery experts.
Dual Cylinder Press Brake Guarding SystemsNo matter your bending need, our BH Series is there to help.
It has a double axis servo-electric back gauge system. It is capable of automatic bending step calculation as well as lengths that are full between side frames. These servoelectric presses are easy to use, precise, and cost-effective.
The sheet metal can be bent by air bending when the punch ends and the V edges are connected. However, this type of bending has a spring back result. When the punch is removed, the bending force is lower and the metal sheet springs backwards just like elastic.

All this in a very cost-effective package.
"The precision and repeatability of your work is outstanding. I was able to keep one job open for five days straight. The first part bent on the first day was the same as the last one on the fifth day. This and the quicker setup time result in greater profitability.
Air bending is done by bending sheet metal at the ends of the punch and 2 edges of V. This type of bend also creates a spring effect in the work piece. Because the bending force in this case is weaker, the metal sheet can spring backwards as if it were elastic.
Press brakes are machines that form lengths of sheet metal. These sheets are typically used in manufacturing, industrial applications, or as components for other devices. Most press brakes are rated by their capacity to press metal and their overall bending length; this is expressed in numbers (e.g., total PPI, or pounds of pressure per inch). They come in many forms and often are equipped with tooling and add-ons designed to create highly customized components. Press brakes fall into two main categories: mechanical and hydraulic. In the next sections, we’ll break down the difference and explain the prominent features of each style.
The principle of Pascal's Law governs hydraulic presses. It states that pressure applied to a fluid within a fluid causes pressure changes throughout the fluid. The hydraulic press has a piston, which acts as a pump and provides a slight mechanical force to a small portion of the sample.
Your car could stop if you hit the brakes and don't clutch to stop it. This is because your engine revs are collapsing. In an emergency, you will need to start your car again. This can be tedious and time-consuming.

A hydraulic press crushed a worker to death in an industrial accident. Two workers were placing materials under hydraulic presses. An online video of the incident shows this. While the victim was fixing the materials, the worker controlling the machine turned the engine on.
The press brake works by using a punch or die to bend or cut metal in a variety shapes and forms.
