1.Selection Of Raw Materials

Choosing the right raw material is only the first step.For the manufacture of press brake tooling, 42CrMo material is the ideal choice, Its main properties are high strength, high hardenability, good toughness, small quenching deformation, high temperature creep strength and high durability. It’s able to withstand temperatures below 500 degrees, making it a versatile and reliable performance and superior processability, making it an ideal choice for even the most demanding applications. Furthermore, we can offer material option complying with customers’ demand.

2.Material Blanking And Forging

High quality tools need to be forged. We cut the material of corresponding weight according to the drawing size, repeatedly forge it with an air hammer, and forge it to the overall dimensions of the mold and provide a machining allowance. Forging will not only allow us to obtain the corresponding size, but more importantly, it will increase the density and toughness of our press brake tooling, making them less likely to crack and break, making them stronger and more durable.

3.Rough Machining

Understanding Press Brake Tooling

Press brake tooling refers to the components used in a press brake machine to shape metal. These components consist primarily of the punch and die. The punch is the upper tool that descends onto the metal, while the die is the lower tool that supports the metal and defines its final shape. The interaction between the punch and die determines the angle, radius, and overall form of the bent metal.

4.Heat Treatment

Our press brake tooling undergo a rigorous whole hardening process,With a standard declared hardness of HRC48°±2 for the whole body, With a standard declared hardness of HRC54°-58° for the working area (mainly the shoulders of the die, and the tip of the punch), achieved through laser hardening of critical parts. Hardness can be adjusted according to application or customer needs.

5.Precision Machining

Thanks to our CNC milling machines and CNC grinding machines, its tolerance be controlled within ±0.03mm,This process provides the treated surface with an extremely high degree of finish. You can rest assured that your tools will perform to the highest standards and meet your exact specifications every time.

Types of Press Brake Tooling

1. Standard Tooling

• Description: Standard, or conventional, tooling consists of simple, straightforward punch and die sets used for common bending applications.

• Applications: Suitable for producing a wide range of standard bends, such as 90-degree bends or U-bends, in various thicknesses of metal.

2. Precision Ground Tooling

• Description: Precision ground tooling is manufactured to extremely tight tolerances, ensuring higher accuracy and consistency in the bending process.

• Applications: Ideal for applications where precise, repeatable results are critical, such as in the aerospace and automotive industries.

3. American (Promecam) Style Tooling

• Description: A type of tooling that is versatile and easy to use, with tools that can be segmented and configured in various combinations.

• Applications: Commonly used in smaller shops or for custom bending operations where flexibility is important.

4. European Style Tooling

• Description: European-style tooling is known for its modular design, with shorter tool lengths and a wider range of configurations.

• Applications: Preferred in high-production environments due to its quick changeover capabilities and compatibility with automated systems.

5. Gooseneck Punches

• Description: These punches have a curved, gooseneck shape that allows for deeper bends without interference from the punch body.

• Applications: Used for forming complex shapes, such as Z-bends or offset bends, where clearance is required.

6. Offset Tooling

• Description: Offset tooling is designed to create offset bends, where two parallel sections of the metal are at different heights.

• Applications: Common in the manufacturing of brackets, frames, and other components that require offset geometry.

7. Hemming Tooling

• Description: Hemming tooling is used to fold the edge of the metal back onto itself, creating a smooth, rounded edge.

• Applications: Often used in the automotive and appliance industries to produce safe, finished edges on metal panels.

8. Forming Tooling

• Description: Forming tooling includes specialized punches and dies for creating complex shapes beyond simple bends.

• Applications: Used in custom metal fabrication to produce components with unique profiles, such as channels, ribs, or contours.

Factors Influencing Tooling Selection

Selecting the right press brake tooling is crucial for achieving the desired bending results. Several factors influence tooling selection, including:

• Material Type and Thickness: Different materials (e.g., steel, aluminum, copper) and thicknesses require specific tooling to achieve clean, accurate bends without causing material damage.

• Bend Angle and Radius: The desired angle and radius of the bend will determine the shape and size of the punch and die.

• Tooling Material: Tooling is typically made from hardened steel, but advanced materials like carbide or coated steel may be used for specific applications to extend tool life and improve performance.

• Machine Compatibility: The tooling must be compatible with the press brake machine's tonnage, bed length, and other specifications.

Advantages of High-Quality Press Brake Tooling

Investing in high-quality press brake tooling offers several benefits:

• Precision and Accuracy: Superior tooling ensures that each bend is precise, meeting tight tolerances and reducing waste.

• Durability: High-quality tooling is more resistant to wear and tear, leading to longer tool life and reduced replacement costs.

• Versatility: Advanced tooling systems can handle a wide range of bending operations, increasing the flexibility of the press brake machine.

• Efficiency: Quick-change tooling systems and modular designs allow for faster setup times, improving overall production efficiency.

Conclusion

Press brake tooling is an integral part of metal fabrication, providing the precision and versatility needed to create complex, high-quality components. Understanding the different types of tooling and their applications helps manufacturers choose the right tools for their specific needs, ensuring efficient production and superior results.
