Frame – The main body that supports the entire machine.
Ram – The moving part that drives the punch down.
Punch – The top tool that presses into the metal.
Die – The bottom tool that shapes the bend.
Back Gauge – A mechanical stopper to position the metal accurately.
Control System – Manual, CNC, or hydraulic control to manage movements and angles.
Mechanical Press Brake
Uses a flywheel and clutch system – fast but less flexible.
Hydraulic Press Brake
Uses hydraulic cylinders – more precise and powerful; good for thick metal.
Servo-Electric Press Brake
Uses motors instead of hydraulics – clean, energy-efficient, and accurate.
Pneumatic Press Brake
Uses air pressure – suitable for light-duty applications.
Air Bending – The punch doesn't touch the bottom of the die; allows for angle flexibility.
Bottom Bending – The punch presses metal into the bottom of the die for more accuracy.
Coining – High pressure flattens the metal into the die; very precise but tool-intensive.
High precision in bending
Suitable for mass production
Can bend complex shapes
Programmable (CNC models) for repeatability
