Braking, or bending, is a metal processing technique that uses a press brake machine to shape and cut metal sheets. This metal processing technique is widely used in automotive, construction, and manufacturing industries for applications that require precise shaping and cutting of metal sheets, ensuring the production of high-quality components and structures.
It offers the advantages of efficiency, accuracy, and versatility in shaping and cutting metal sheets to meet specific design requirements.
Braking works by clamping a metal sheet between a punch and die on a press brake machine. The machine applies high force to the metal sheet, causing it to bend or deform along the desired shape. By adjusting the position and angle of the punch and die, precise cuts and bends are achieved, creating various components and structures with efficiency and accuracy
Press Braking can handle a variety of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum, accommodating different project needs.

Using a press brake machine for metal processing offers several advantages, including high precision and accuracy in bending metal sheets into specific shapes and angles. This method provides consistent results and is ideal for both high-volume production and customized projects.
Our equipment includes a 225-ton, 250-ton, and 400-ton press brake, which, depending on the material, allows us to bend metal sheets up to 16 feet long and up to ½ inches thick.
