Different components of a CNC press brake
Press brakes are utilized to bend dense heavy sheets and to make intricate bends in thin materials. There are mainly two types of press brakes- hydraulic and mechanical. As a huge amount of power is necessary to bend the plates or sheets, a CNC press brake is generally more ideal for any job. Hydraulic presses are available in capacities of more than 50000 metric tonnes. To completely realize the operation of a press brake, you have to know how it works. As hydraulic press brakes are made of various components, maintaining track of them may be hard. Therefore, here is a basic list of the most vital components. 1. Hydraulic Pump- The hydraulic pump basically creates the power that energizes the hydraulic fluid and transmits it through the equipment to execute the pressing operations. 2. Hydraulic fluid- Hydraulic fluid is transmitted through different parts of the equipment. High pressure is created on the hydraulic fluid by the hydraulic pump, thereby creating
