CNC Press Brake
A CNC Press Brake is a computer-controlled machine used to bend sheet metal into precise angles and shapes. Unlike a turret punch press, which punches holes, a press brake forms bends using a punch and die set. How It Works Metal sheet is positioned on the machine. CNC controller moves the back gauge to the required position. The upper punch descends into the lower die. The sheet is bent to the programmed angle. Multiple bends can be performed automatically.
