break press tooling

Sheet metal work is an extremely important process in many factories. They manufacture several products using sheet metal, including car parts, electrical boxes, and countless other things. A significant portion of this process is using what's known as a break press. A break press is a specialized machine that can bend sheet metal into various shapes. This machine must work seamlessly with specialized tools and equipment to function properly.

Another important component is the die. The die is what holds the sheet metal in place as it is bent. Dies can be made in various shapes and sizes, just like the metal parts they help manufacture. The die that is best to use will depend on the product, because each shape requires a different die type to get the results wanted. We have tooling after die. Because tooling shapes the metal into final form, its very important. Different types of tooling exist: gooseneck punches, radius punches, and V-dies, for example. Each tooling type serves its unique purpose and induces the metal to take varied shapes.

Precision Tools for High-Quality Bending Results

Tools used in break press consist of upper punches (the top of a break press), lower dies (the bottom of a break press that supports the metal while it bends), and tool holders (where the tooling gets attached). Role of upper punch and lower die3If the upper punch is essential for providing the necessary force to bend the metal, the lower die assures the stability of the metallic material. A major company like ACL is renowned for making very sturdy tools, and they need to be, as this helps keep the bending process as smooth as possible.

Accessories are extra appliances that help the break press work efficiently and more effective. These accessories consist of systems for laser positioning, back gauge, and many more. Laser positioning systems use a beam of light to indicate precisely where the bend should occur. Not only does that speed up the process, it also allows workers to create more perfect bends. In CNC bending machines, back gauge systems are used for measuring bending lengths and supporting the machine for precision adjustments for various material sizes.
