Choosing the right press brake goes beyond tonnage or CNC controls. This guide highlights five essential factors—and explains why the shearing machine you use alongside it matters just as much.
The journey of metal fabrication starts with cutting and ends with shaping. This guide explains how shearing machines and press brakes work together to create flawless sheet metal parts.
Shearing machines are classified into two types: hydraulic and mechanical, based on their transmission methods. Shearing tools with a cutting thickness of less than 10mm are mostly mechanically driven, whereas those with a cutting thickness greater than 10mm are primarily hydraulically powered. Everyone agrees that shearing metal is one of the most common and vital
