What is the difference between a press brake and a pan brake?
What is the difference between a press brake and a pan brake?
A box and pan brake, also called a finger brake, performs the types of bends needed to form boxes and pans by forming sheet metal around segmented fingers attached to the upper jaw of the machine. And finally, in the press brake, the press (with its punches and dies) actuates the braking (bending).
What is the difference between press brake and bending machine?
While folding machines also bend metal, the difference between it and a press brake is how that bend is achieved. Folding machines use much less force, leading it to be used for much thinner sheets. Folding machines will be much better and quicker with panel work of all sizes.
