Choosing between a hydraulic and electric press brake is not simply a matter of deciding which technology is newer. The right choice depends on the material you bend, required force, part size, accuracy expectations, production mix, and operating priorities. Electric…

Calculating press brake tonnage starts with four main variables: material thickness, bend length, tensile strength, and V-die opening. Together, they determine the bending force required to form a part. The most important relationship to remember is: Required Force ∝ Bend…

Press brake bending problems rarely come from one source. An incorrect angle may result from material variation, worn tooling, machine deflection, positioning errors, or several factors acting together. The fastest way to troubleshoot is to start with the finished part.…
