Press Brake Tooling

Sheet metal forming

Press brake tooling uses matching upper and lower tools to form sheet into specified angles, radii and sections, with straight, segmented or special-profile arrangements. Selection starts with the finished-part drawing and bending sequence, then considers sheet material and thickness, clamping interfaces, working length and available space. Tool geometry, interference and loading requirements should be reviewed together; a machine brand alone does not establish the tooling needed for a particular bend or installation.

Part-led selection: Review upper and lower tools against bend angle, radius and forming sequence.
Clamping interfaces: Measure the actual tang, clamp connections and locating features on the machine.
Space review: Consider part handling, springback and possible interference when discussing the tool profile.

Where this product works

Press-brake working station

The equipment image illustrates tooling installed at a bending station. Clamp geometry, sheet thickness, bend radius and working length must be reviewed together.

Equipment photographs show application context only; the supply scope on this page is the listed tooling or components, not complete machines.

Match the tooling to the bend, not just the machine

Tool forms include straight and segmented tooling, V-shaped dies, curved profiles and special forming tools, with 90°, 60°, 45° and 30° tools, R-shaped, U-shaped and coining profiles. Confirm the required form against the drawing and clamping interface.

Tooling must be checked against the machine mounting geometry, sheet material, thickness, required bend radius and working length. References to machine makes indicate intended compatibility only, not an authorised relationship or universal fit.

Typical configurations

Straight and segmented upper and lower tools
V-dies and common-angle forming profiles
R, U and special-section tooling
Drawing-based non-standard forming tools

APPLICATIONS

Typical applications

Routine sheet bending

Provide sheet grade, thickness, bend length and target inside radius when reviewing upper/lower profiles. The finished angle does not directly define the tool angle or die-opening requirement.

Boxes and multiple-bend parts

Supply the full section and bend sequence to review clearance between previously formed flanges and the tooling. Discuss segment lengths and punch profile with loading, unloading and part-rotation arrangements.

Radiused and special sections

For R, U or other profiles, define target section, material condition, forming method and inspection locations. Dedicated profiles require separate review; a sketch alone does not establish the final forming result.

SELECTION NOTES

What to check before selection

Start with the part and sequence: Provide finished drawings, flat patterns or existing process details, marking inside radii, angles and critical dimensions. Review space for later bends rather than assessing only the first operation.
Measure the clamping interface: Check tang geometry, clamp location, insertion direction and machine opening against the actual installation. Brand and model are identification clues, not substitutes for confirming interfaces on different clamping systems.
Review length and loading: Assess working length, segment combinations and loading requirements with material, thickness and forming method. Machine tonnage does not directly establish the permissible load of every tooling section.

PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Practical selection questions

Clarify the operating conditions and interfaces before deciding on materials, geometry or configuration.

Can compatibility be confirmed from the press brake brand alone?

No. Include tang geometry, locating faces, insertion method and machine opening. Clamp photographs and measured dimensions help review interfaces alongside the part drawing and required tool form.

Does a 90-degree part require 90-degree tooling?

Finished angle and tool angle are not directly equivalent. Material, springback and forming method also matter. Provide material condition, inside radius and the existing process before discussing upper/lower profiles.

What information helps review interference on a box return flange?

Provide the complete section, bend sequence, flange heights and existing tooling profiles, marking the affected operation. Review machine opening and handling arrangements rather than considering the individual bend alone.
