1. Customization of bending capacity
Different manufacturing processes may require different levels of bending force. The press brake's tonnage can be customized according to the thickness and material of the workpiece to be bent. For example, if a factory mainly processes thick - gauge stainless - steel plates, a high - tonnage press brake (such as a 1000 - ton or more) can be customized to ensure that it can effectively bend these thick materials without overloading the machine.
2. Customization of working length
The length of the workbench also varies according to specific needs. Some users may need to bend long - length metal profiles. In this case, the press brake can be customized with an extended workbench length. For instance, in the production of large - scale industrial equipment frames that require the bending of long - span metal beams, a press brake with a workbench length of several meters can be designed to meet the requirements of bending the entire length of the beam in one operation.
3. Customization of control systems
The control system of the press brake can be customized to improve work efficiency and precision. Advanced CNC (Computer Numerical Control) systems can be integrated to enable more accurate programming of the bending angle, depth, and speed. Some customized control systems also offer features such as automatic tool change and self - diagnosis. For example, in an automated production line, a customized press brake control system can communicate with other equipment through industrial Ethernet or other communication protocols to achieve seamless integration of the production process.
4. Customization of tooling and accessories
Special - shaped or custom - designed bending tools can be used to meet the needs of bending complex - shaped workpieces. For example, for parts with a unique curvature or with holes and notches that need to be precisely located during bending, custom - made upper and lower dies can be designed. In addition, accessories such as sheet support devices and back - gauge systems can also be customized to better assist in the bending process and improve the quality of the bent products.
