The press brake is one of the most versatile machines on the fabricating floor but, as with all heavy machinery, press brakes can be dangerous if used unsafely. Whether mechanic or hydraulic, press brakes form, punch or shear metals and other materials using high pressure which can injure workers during the operating or cleaning process, from heavy bruising to loss of limbs. At pslaser Machinery, ...

This blog post was originally published on thefabricator.com in January 2023, by bending guru and pslaser Question: I’m a toolmaker now working at a new company in the model shop, mostly doing prototypes. We also do a fair amount of simple sheet metal parts, boxes, and hat sections for electronics test tools. The sheet metal guy they had retired before I came in, and the...

How Do Hydraulic Technology Systems Work? What is the Science Behind Hydraulic Systems? Hydraulic systems are powered by liquid – specifically by moving and pressurised liquids that are used to move or lift things. Machinery that uses this technology transfers force from one area to another, using a non-compressible fluid. This means that the fluid cannot be compressed – that is, its volume or den...

Press Brake (Metalworking) A press brake is a machine tool for bending sheet and plate material, most commonly sheet metal. It forms predetermined bends by clamping the work-piece between a matching punch and die. Typically, two C-frames form the sides of the press brake, connected to a table at the bottom and on a movable beam at the top. The bottom tool is mounted on the table with the top ...

We always use raw material 42CrMo4 to produce the popular press brake tooling and all the tooling are hardened and ground to reach the hardness of 48~52 HRC (Rockwell hardness), the procedure for holistic heat treatment is as follow : quenching + tempering + 860 °C Oil quenching + 390°C Tempering . At last ,the tolerance of tooling we can control is +/-0.02mm Range: we can manufacture Acute toolin...

Proper Plasma Cutting Machine Maintenance It’s easy to get overwhelmed in a metal fabrication shop. To the untrained eye, these establishments are full of heavy-duty machinery that appears incredibly dangerous. This sentiment isn’t entirely false. These devices can cause injuries if someone doesn’t know how to use them. Luckily, supervisors around the country take the time to train their employees...

Groover, also been called V groover, V grooving machine. It is a machine for scribing and slot V-shaped grooves at the positions where metal plates need to be bent. This can reduce the bending radius and make the sheet metal workpiece more beautiful. It is applicable to industries requiring high-precision plate processing, such as elevators, packaging materials, stainless steel processing, househo...

8 ways to keep your shear in top shape Shears are common pieces of fabricating equipment that can be found in many metal forming plants. From tube mills to small fabricators, the shear is one of the most critical and diverse tools used in metal fabricating. Varying in size from small hand-held metal shears and foot-operated trim shears to high-production in-line flying cutoffs, the modern metal sh...
