The press brake is today one of the most commonly used CNC tools in metalworking (digitally controlled by a computer). It performs the bending function by controlling the stroke of the slider and the rear meter. When using a press brake in CNC technology, the operator enters only the number of lobes requiring bending and the bending angles required for each operation, and the press performs them automatically according to the programmed instructions.
The advanced CNC press brake uses an electrical-hydraulic system in conjunction with a lattice ruler to create a closed control system. With these solutions, the press offers a high degree of control, accuracy of bends and initial settings.
ZYMT press brakes
ZYMT is the world's leading manufacturer of press brakes, supplying high quality machines. The welded housing is made of reinforced steel and designed in a minimalist way, which emphasizes the robustness of the structure and creates a new standard in the sheet metal processing sector. Equipped with a high-quality control panel, the operation of this complex machine makes operation easier and more intuitive than ever before.
The color touchscreen combined with the graphical interface and the huge capabilities of the central processor mean that even the most complex bends can be programmed almost instantly, confirming the highest performance of these machines.
Press brake – action
A press brake is a device used to bend sheet metal. It uses considerable force and mechanical and hydraulic components that give the sheet metal the required shape with a metal punch and die. Many products require parts made of bent sheet metal, and new solutions in the field of automation mean that more and more manufacturers are betting on solutions offered by press brakes with control in digital technology.
Computer-digital control means that the buyer can program the machine according to demand just before its use and make changes on an ongoing basis. CNC control is very convenient and is an improvement on previously used systems with digital control. Machines with computer-digital control represent a new stage in the development of press brakes.
Press brake – construction
The main components of the press brake in computer-digital technology are:
- Frame
- Actuator
- Workbench
- Cylinder with oil
- Hydraulics
- Sheet metal position detection system
- Computer-to-digital controller
- Electric control system.
Advantages of using a press brake in CNC technology in production automation
The use of a press brake controlled by a computer-digital system brings many advantages, among which we can mention:
- high accuracy
- high efficiency
- Ease
- flexibility of settings
- reduced costs
- high repeatability.
Application of press brakes
Press brakes are widely used in industry, in particular in the power industry, transport, automotive industry, mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, aerospace, military, agricultural and metallurgy.
In particular, they are useful in highly specialized industries such as:
- rail transport – press brakes are used in the production of components necessary for the production of trains,
- production of containers – due to the increasing demand for the transport of various products, specialized containers are required for their transport, and precision press brakes controlled in CNC technology are used for their production.
