At Western Sheet Metal, we can bend sheet and plate products to different degrees using a press brake and other bending techniques.
The brake creates bends by clamping the metal piece in between an upper and lower die. These bends can be made up to an angle of 120 degrees. Using press brakes is considered to be an accurate and extremely fast method of bending metal.
Common press brake applications:
Press brake machines can be fitted with a wide range of punches and dies, they can be used for almost any sheet or plate metal shaping applications. The most common are:
- Automotive panels
- Airframes
- Metal artwork
- Furniture
- Metal containers
- Many other sheet metal forming applications
Almost any sheet or plate metal bending application can be accomplished using a press brake. Press brakes are most often used to produce multiple pieces of the same workpiece for further processing.
