What is a press brake?

A press brake is a machine used to bend sheet metal and metal plates. Its design is long and narrow so it is able to fit large pieces of sheet metal. The press brake bends the sheet by lowering a punch onto the sheet that is placed on top of the die. Pressbrakes are well-known for their versatility. These versatile machines can perform numerous functions. A sheetmetal press brake can do things like box forming, hemming, flattening, and more. A press brake bending function of sheet metal is the machine’s primary purpose. A press brake can be used to bend sheet metal in different ways. The way the machine bends the metal depends on the dies being used. Some of the dies that a press brake can be equipped with are hemming dies, offset dies, curling dies, seaming dies, and more.

What is a pan brake?

A pan brake is similar to a press brake. A pan brake is also used to bend sheet metals. A pan brake is normally a lot smaller than a press brake. Pan brakes are also usually manually operated. They are built with a clamping bar to hold the material firmly. The built-in clamping bar is equipped with fingers that allow the machine to bend sheets into box shapes. This is the reason why pan brakes are also known as finger brakes.

Types of press brakes

There are many types of press brakes that exist from used press brakes to DIY press brakes. A CNC press brake bends sheet metal like other press brakes. However, a CNC press brake bends the sheets into various profiles and designs. A hydraulic press brake bends sheet metal by applying force to the metal. It does this by being powered by a hydraulic motor.
