Built for fabrication shops that can't afford error
Even a small error in the bend angle or dimension of a component affects the quality of the whole assembly. That's why choosing the right press brake machine — and the right manufacturer — is a critical decision for fabrication firms and industries.
Shivam Technomech manufactures machinery used in fabrication shops, engineering industries, panel making, machine manufacturing, railway-related operations and other sheet metal industries. A press brake bends sheet metal and plates to predetermined angles and shapes; with the right machine capacity, tooling and control systems, you can manufacture brackets, channels, panels, enclosures, frames, supports, covers and other fabricated parts.
What Is a Press Brake Machine?
An industrial machine that bends sheet metal through pressure applied via a punch and die. The sheet is placed between the dies, and the machine applies force to bend it as required — depending on the machine and control system, the operation can be manual or fully repetitive.
Hydraulic, NC Hydraulic & CNC Hydraulic
Selection should take into account production quantity, complexity of components, bend accuracy, operator needs and available budget.
Hydraulic Press Brake Machine
Hydraulic press brakes employ hydraulic power to create the force needed for bending. They're used extensively across industries because, when properly set up, they can perform a wide array of sheet metal bending activities.
- Bending of mild steel sheets
- Fabrication of stainless steel
- Forming aluminium parts
- Industrial panels
- Machine housings
- Structural sheets
- Fabricated brackets
- Channels and profiles
Shivam Technomech provides hydraulic press brake machines as part of their sheet metal machinery equipment line.
NC Hydraulic Press Brake Machine
NC machine technology adds numerical control to selected machine features — especially helpful when companies manufacture components that involve repetitive bending activities.
The NC hydraulic press brake helps operators ensure consistency and lessen the manual adjustments needed between repetitive tasks. NC machines suit businesses that need a good mix of traditional hydraulic and computerized control.
CNC Hydraulic Press Brake Machine
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) press brakes offer better computer programming and control capabilities — especially advantageous when manufacturing multiple components, complicated bends, or large production runs.
Selection of hydraulic, NC and CNC machines should take into account production quantity, complexity of components, accuracy of bends, operator needs, and available funds.
How Does a Press Brake Machine Work?
Five steps take a flat sheet from raw material to an inspected, finished bend.
Sheet Preparation
The sheet is first prepared to its desired size before the bending process begins.
Choice of Tools
Tools are determined based on material, sheet thickness, bend angle and geometrical form.
Sheet Positioning
The sheet metal piece is positioned with respect to the machine's reference system.
Bending
Bending force is applied using the tools to deform the sheet into the desired angle.
Inspection
The formed bend is examined to ensure it meets requirements and specifications.
Benefits of a Press Brake Machine
Sheet Metal Bending Accuracy
The correct press brake creates precision-controlled bends that enhance dimensional accuracy.
Consistent Manufacturing
Programming and automation can be used to duplicate bends across several parts.
Decreased Manual Effort
Mechanical or hydraulic power makes the bending process easier than manual labor.
Application Flexibility
Press brakes can be used to manufacture a wide variety of sheet metal parts.
Increased Efficiency
Bending machines can considerably increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process.
Uniformity of the Part
Controlling the process creates uniform angles and dimensions across parts.
What Is a Press Brake Used For?
Press brake machines are utilized for making a wide range of sheet metal products. The specific use depends on machine capacity, material characteristics, tooling, and component design.
