Using press-down arm and 13-axis concurrent linkage, the panel bender is able to bend thin (1.5-2.5mm) and large (length≤3200mm) metal sheet precisely. Due to its universal bending tools, it can bend up & down, bend in right and non-right angles, arc and other complex shapes.

3200 [mm] Max bending length
1250 [mm] Max bending width
200/300 [mm] Max bending height
0.2 [S/bend] Max bending speed

panel bender width changer advantage1

1. Multiply bending speed

3 times faster than other CNC press brakes, namely, 0.2S/bend

2. Bend into various shapes

Bend upward & downward, enable arc, dead-edge, U-shaped, enclosed-type bending, bend in right, acute and obtuse angle, as well as other complex shapes

3. High consistency among workpieces

The reason why our bending consistency is high is that workpieces can be accurately positioned and under uniform stress

4. High level of safety

No hand holding is required for feeding, positioning and bending, minimizing potential safety hazards caused by misoperation

5. High degree of intelligence

High configurations in both software and hardware, with various functions for easy bending

Mechanical Benefits

panel bender width changer advantage2

1. Unique design

* Its machine tool bed is designed as triangular and of which some key components are made of 80mm steel plates in order to keep itself stable even under high-tonnage impact

* Its press-down arm uses upper and lower grippers to clamp workpieces even when there are pores, dents or they are in complex shapes. In a word, such feeding mode has low demanding on the quality of sheet surface

* Its universal bending tools are made of high-strength alloy/die steel and have got through dozens of procedures including solid forging, tempering and quenching in order to bend for millions of times.

2. Automatic tool changer

It can choose upper press tools in right amount according to sheet size, then, splice them into different lengths to bend sheets of different sizes. The tool changer will take the place of manual work and raise bending efficiency.

3. High-standard machine tool

Keep machine tool indeformable and unbroken at high temperature even after long-time use because of going through 7 standard processes like high annealing and aging treatment

4. Other auxiliary devices

Work with auxiliary knife to cope with other demanding tasks, make itself more flexible and enlarge its work scope

Control System Benefits

SENFENG intelligent CNC system, with multi-axis concurrent linkage and based on EtherCAT bus protocol, makes bending more flexible.

1. 64-axis concurrent linkage

Perform more complex bending actions such as bend workpieces of different sizes

2. Visual graphical programming

Only need to input bending data, then, bending instructions will be generated, with lower demands on workers

3. Self-diagnosis

Reduce maintenance costs, prevent unexpected shutdown and make it more reliable

1. Intelligent interconnection

Reserve robot/truss expansion interface for loading & unloading, so as to make bending, loading & unloading fully automatic.

2. Increase bending height

Generally, this panel bender comes standard with 200mm bending height (or 175mm when hinge cutter is used), but users may apply for 300mm (or 275mm under conditions above) based on their actual requirements.

What is press brake and how does it work?

A press brake is a device that can bend thin sheet metals. It generates pressure through a hydraulic system, which is transmitted by upper and lower molds to achieve the desired bending shape. Depending on its drive mode, level of automation and structure, press brakes can be classified into manual, hydraulic and CNC press brakes.

What is panel bender and how does it work?

Panel bender is a highly automated bending machine, representing the latest advancement in sheet metal bending. It can bend into various complex shapes such as right angle, arc, up and down, without the need for manual holding of workpiece or bending mold. One-time positioning is enough for multi-side bending. Its bending speed is about 3 times faster than traditional press brakes. Due to the fewest human intervention, the consistency among workpieces is much higher, and it is gradually replacing the tradition.

For the panel bender, workers only need to place workpieces on its worktable, then, the workpiece will be positioned by suction cup or press-down arm and bent automatically. A set of universal bending mold is enough, without frequent change or customization.

What is bending ability of a press brake?

A press brake is a type of forging machinery primarily used for sheet metal processing, especially for large sheets. By adopting different molds, it can perform operations such as bending edges, stretching, rounding and punching on the sheet metal.

What should a novice pay attention to when using press brake for the first time?

Operating press brake is not only a challenge but also a chance to grow up for beginners. By following tips below, they can navigate the complexities of CNC press brake operation with greater ease and efficiency.

* Familiar with the press brake and operating manual

* Receive professional training

* Set and adjust parameters correctly

* Gradually master programming skills

* Focus on material selection

* Adhere to safety operating procedures

* Monitor and adjust machine status

* Perform regular maintenance

* Accumulate practical experience

What is the warranty period of press brake?
