Moment require to bend sheet metal leaf brake.
I am currently in the design proces of a press that has the ability to double as a press brake.
Box brake pan brake or finger brake to form boxes or pans by means of forming sheet metal around segmented fingers attached to the upper jaw of the machine.
These precision engineered machines can bend up to 22 gauge stainless steel sheet metal 18 gauge steel or 16 gauge aluminum depending on the model.
Bottoming will produce the best results but does require a vast amount of tonnage.
Sheet metal bending brake with radius adjustment.
I want something heavy duty though and fairly accurate.
Any time a different thickness of sheet metal needs to be formed or when a different radius is required to form the part the operator needs to adjust the sheet metal brake before the brake is used to form the part.
Thank you for.
Air forming requires much less tonnage but the final bend will take on more of a z shape rather than a true 90 degree offset.
Also i wanted to be able to do some bends with bigger radius witho.
Best sheet metal brakes.
Press brake performs the bending by punches and dies.

The leaf brake is using an upward swing leaf to bend.
It will not be inexpensive as the hydraulics are not cheap.

Second great job on the bend.
Anyways it is great to see how you would bend a nice radius on a leaf finger brake.
Moreover required tonnages can vary greatly when using offset tools mainly because they can involve either air forming or bottoming.
