What To Consider When Buying A Press Brake?

• Tonnage
  The amount of force (tonnage) you need will depend on the thickness and type of material you will be bending with your press brake.

• Distance between the side frames
  Will be determined by the maximum width of the sheets you will be bending with your press brake.

• Ram stroke
  Will be determined by the maximum depth that you will be bending with your press brake.

• CNC Control
  CNC press brakes are more expensive than manual press brakes. However, that investment can be justified by the increased efficiency and accuracy provided by a programmable control.

• Safety features
  Features such as emergency stop buttons and light curtains should be considered to protect your press brake operators.

• Tooling
  Press brake tooling will be determined by the thickness and type of material you will be bending as well as the types of bends you will be performing with your press brake.
