Sheet metal bending is one of the important techniques of metal forming. The technique demands immense precision and speed. The process is not easy, as one may think. It is always performed using advanced and precision bending machines. A press brake <\/strong>is one such precision build machine used for sheet metal bending. A press brake functions in such a way that a workpiece is clamped between a punch and a die to create a pre-determined bend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we will discuss types of bending performed by press brake, and a competitive press brake provided by Woodward Fab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of Bending Performed by Press Brakes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to the capabilities of a press brake, it can perform two types of bending, as described below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Bending<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, in this type of bending, a material is forced down the die by a tool mounted in the RAM of the press brake. In this type of bending, accuracy of the bend will depend on the type of die used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Bending<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This a type of bending, which is created by simply pressing the material into a die. The material is not completely pressed into the bottom of the die, and a small gap of air is left. In this bending, die only needs to be changed according to the material thickness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several manufacturers of press brakes in the market. However, with nearly six decades of experience in sheet metal fabrication and forming tools<\/a>, Woodward Fab specializes in delivering value-driven press brakes for industrial customers, supporting a wide range of sheet metal bending projects. The following beneficial features of our machines make them a preferred choice among professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
