Buy Used Mechanical Press Brakes

Mechanical press brakes are machine tools used in metalworking to bend sheet metal and other flat workpieces. Unlike hydraulic press brakes, which use hydraulic pressure, mechanical press brakes use mechanical forces to bend the workpiece. The machine basically consists of a frame, a movable upper beam and a fixed lower beam, between which the workpiece is clamped. By lifting the upper beam by means of an eccentric drive or a crank mechanism, the workpiece is pressed against the lower beam and bent. Mechanical die bending presses have the advantage that they can generate a high bending force and the bending speed and bending depth can be easily controlled. They are usually less expensive than hydraulic press brakes and require less maintenance. However, they are not as versatile as hydraulic die bending presses due to the limited adaptability of bending forces to different materials and workpiece sizes. There are several types of mechanical die bending presses, which differ in terms of their size, capability and configuration. Depending on the requirements, you can choose between manual, semi-automatic and fully automatic models.
