Summary
A motor-driven machine that bends metal sheets (e.g., steel, aluminum) into specific shapes using hydraulic/servo force. Key parts: upper/lower dies, ram, and control system. Operators input parameters (e.g., bend angle) for automated precision bending. Features: High efficiency, accuracy, repeatability. Used in automotive, aerospace, etc.
Electric Press Brake: Revolutionizing Sheet Metal Fabrication
Why Choose an Electric Press Brake?
（1）Precision Control
Servo motor ensures ±0.01mm repeatability, eliminating errors from hydraulic oil temperature fluctuations.
（2）Energy Efficiency:
60% less power consumption vs. hydraulic machines. Oil-free operation supports sustainable manufacturing.
（3）Smart Operation:
Touchscreen with CAD/CAM integration auto-generates bending sequences from design files.
Key Applications
| Industry | Typical Use Cases |
| New Energy Vehicles | Battery tray/motor bracket bending |
| Electronics | Server racks/5G base station enclosures |
| Aerospace | High-precision forming of lightweight alloys |
5 Critical Selection Factors
Tonage & Bed Length: Select ≥80 tons for 2mm stainless steel; bed length = max part size + 20% buffer.
Deflection Compensation: Hydraulic/mechanical systems outperform wedge-type for long-part straightness.
Tool Compatibility: Verify support for EURO (DIN 55266) or American-style tooling.
Cutting-Edge Innovations
AI Monitoring: Force sensors detect material thickness variations and auto-adjust parameters (+30% accuracy).
Modular Design: Quick-change backgauges enable switching between bending/punching in minutes (-70% setup time).
