Spring back for the press brake is an important factor in fine bending

We already wrote what is spring back in the past but now we believe that it is better to make it as the complete article. First, about the terminology. Spring back or elastic return — the normal condition of any material that during the stress and deformation can return to the initial form. So for us,…

Special tools, special requirements, and special customers for bending

We will tell you today a good story about press brake tools and bending solutions. There are a lot of projects which are hard to develop and if it is a new application for us it is not possible to remind the previous experience what was done already and to repeat.Tooling-producing factories deal with standard…

Some considerations about tube bending machinery

We have a long experience in tube bending in a lot of important sectors from the copper tube for air conditioning to aerospace applications. And we can tell for sure that tube bending is one of the most complicated sectors where you exactly do not know what machine is correct for your needs. Let us…

Planning to purchase new press brake tools?

The competition in the market of bending tools is based on several constant things:– trust in the seller– quality of tooling– price– time of the delivery About three first things it is very simple. We have our strategy and we think it is quite honest for our customers even if they do not understand it…

4V die — the best product for all users of Promecam press brakes

Well, probably this post looks more promotional but we will try to make it more technical to tell more about Promecam press brake tools and in particular about 4V bending dies.First, this is the most universal product, mostly ordered by the customers and usually supplied as a “starting set” with the new press brakes by the manufacturers….

Automatic press brake bending

As you probably know we like robotic bending technology — it is really marvelous. First, for sure it is connected to the press brake tools we are selling. Second, we just like automation in the sheet metal industry and like to describe some details in our articles. Third, we cannot miss so active technology in…

Bending without marks with press brake

Bending sheet metal parts without marks and scratches could be a real headache for some of our customers with very simple solutions but they do not know about it. Let us start from the beginning. Press brake bending is the “final” operation in production to get the complete part. At first, the raw part is…

Lamiera 2023 — how is the real situation?

This year we had the most important Italian exhibition for sheet metal production and deformation — Lamiera 2023. How it was?First, about actual numbers — around 400 companies exhibited (27% of international out of Italy), 22 countries of exhibitors, public space around 40000 square meters, approx. 19000 visitors and 4000 from the exhibition Made in…

Press brake bending as the key for optimization

Press brake bending is a very interesting process. From one side it is very and very simple on kinematic movements and basic technology — one moveable beam, one tool moved to the other and makes the bend. Where the punch stop — there is the point for the desired angle. Construction of the press brake…

BIMU Milano 2022

BIMU is a large metalworking machinery exhibition in Europe mainly dedicated to cutting chip production machines like turning and milling technologies. The main place for the exhibition is Fiera Milano in Italy. Mainly it is not “our” exhibition because today there are no tube and sheet metal deformation technologies and we permanently visit this exhibition…
