Press brakes are a necessity to almost any metal fabrication shop. Unfortunately, despite being one of the most important and desired pieces of machinery in a shop, they’re still misunderstood—even by professionals. To help you better understand press brakes, we put together this short, layman’s-level guide.
With our high-end precision presses brakes, the possibilities are endless. They feature better controls and more axes. Stable and reliable AC servo motor driven back gauge system, and outboard mounted long-ram guides (which allow full length between the frames for acute angle bend) are some of its features.

A Mitsubishi automatic tool changer (ATC), fitted to a press brake, stands out in many ways.
A Mitsubishi automatic changer (ATC), fitted with a press brake is a unique piece of equipment.
According to the metal springback, you must adjust the angle of the bend and calculate the margin. So, for example, a 90deg bend must be bent, the punch must be reduced to 85deg.
You get raw power, heavy-duty bend performance, and better technology all in one cost-effective package.
These work support arms are heavy-duty and quick-releasing. They have smooth transition rollers, precision machined ways and are very durable. Multiple horizontal and vertical adjustments allow for precise control. This system allows the operator to move the arms quickly left/right/up/down, allowing for quick set-up. You can choose between a 24-inch and 36-inch length for the quick-change linear support system arms.
Standard is supported daily by a growing team of industry professionals that includes product specialists, service engineers, and sales consultants. JMT has a highly skilled parts and tooling division to ensure your machines run at their best.
Hydraulic press braking is ideal for heavy-duty jobs and can easily be customized to handle the most varied customer forms, such as long lengths, tandems, high tonnage, and everything else in between.
Standard Industrial Press brakes offer a variety of tonnages to meet your needs, whether your project requires one or more dies.
The game-changing tool allows press brake operators to improve their performance by receiving real-time data.
In sheet metal work and in production plants in many industries, including the automotive and aeronautics sectors, press brakes are used.
The options list could go on and on. We will only list the most important ones. Safety is paramount. We have included the AKASLC world-class laser safety system as a top choice. It is widely considered the best press brake safety system. For combination machines, light curtain sick C 4000. Additional axis for up to 14. Extended travel back gauge of up to 39 inches, with safety light curtain. Motorized height adjustment sheet follower. Delem (DA69T), Cybelec (12S,15S) and 3D with the PC1200 are updated cnc controls. Quick release clamping or hydraulic clamping. Wila or Wilson mechanical, or hydraulic clamping. There are many tooling options available from the "who's Who" of press brake tools. Systeme for positioning bottom tools, thickness measuring systems, and offline software to support Profile-W or VBend.
Nearly all modern car crushers use hydraulic presses to crush cars. A pump pushes hydraulic fluid through large cylinders to power a large motor. Using principles of force-multiplication, a hydraulic system can generate over 2,000 psi and impart more than 150 tons of crushing force onto a pile of scrap cars.
Finally, a neodymium magnetic magnet beat a hydraulic press.
The CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.
Hydraulic presses can be used for forging and clinching, moulding blanking, punching as well as metal forming operations like deep drawing and blanking. Hydraulic presses can also be used for rubber pad forming and powder compacting.
How does a hydraulic press brake work? Hydraulic press brakes use the power of a hydraulic motor, applying force to the metal and compressing it into a die that forms the shape. The shape of the die determines the final shape achieved by the metal bending process.
