How to choose the best CNC Press Brake (key factors)

Key factors for choosing the best CNC Press Brake

CNC Press Brake is one of the important equipment widely used in the metal processing industry. It can complete complex bending processes efficiently and accurately. When choosing a CNC Press Brake, many factors need to be considered to ensure that the equipment can meet production needs. Here are a few key factors:

1. Bending force and bending length

First, you need to determine the material properties and size of the workpiece and select equipment with sufficient bending force and bending length. Generally, thicker steel plates or large-sized workpieces require greater bending force, while thinner metals or small-sized workpieces can choose equipment with smaller bending force. It is necessary to let the manufacturer calculate the correct bending force and recommend the most suitable machine based on the maximum size of the metal plate.

2. CNC system performance

The performance of the CNC system directly affects the accuracy and efficiency of the bending. Choosing a CNC system with advanced control algorithms and high-speed computing capabilities can shorten the processing time and improve the accuracy of repeated positioning. In addition, the friendliness of the human-machine interface is also important to improve operating efficiency. You can communicate directly with the manufacturer about the operating performance of the CNC system.

3. Machine tool structural rigidity

The overall rigidity of the machine tool will affect the shape accuracy of the workpiece during the bending process. Choosing equipment with a reinforced welded body or a cast body can ensure that it can still maintain good rigidity under heavy loads. The tensile strength of different sizes of Press Brake for different plates will be different, so this is also an important factor in choosing a good Press Brake.

4. Auxiliary functions

Modern CNC Press Brakes are usually equipped with functions such as automatic feeding and automatic reversing of the die cutter, which can greatly improve production efficiency. When purchasing, you can choose the appropriate auxiliary functions according to production needs.

5. Safety performance

Ensure that the equipment is equipped with complete safety protection devices, such as emergency stop buttons, safety shields, etc., to minimize the risk of personal injury.

6. Types of Press Brake

There are three types of Press Brake:

(1) Hydraulic Press Brake; hydraulic Press Brake are the most traditional and popular machines, which can handle both thin and thick plates and have a wide range of applications.

(2) Electric Press Brake; energy-saving and environmentally friendly, with high precision, are mostly used for some small sheet metal parts processing.

(3) Paner Bending Center: currently high-tech products, mainly used for high-precision cabinet bending processing, saving more manual operations, safer and more reliable.

Combining the above factors with actual production needs, choosing a CNC Press Brake with excellent performance and complete functions can greatly improve production efficiency and product quality.
