Press braking - What are the limitations?
If you are in need of press braking, also known as edge bending, it is important to be aware of the constraints that can make the work difficult or hinder it. Possible obstacles can be:
- in some cases, the material is so fragile that it risks breaking
- the hardness of the material may make it impossible to bend
- there is a requirement for tooling investment - however, this is cheaper than some other methods, such as eccentric pressing
- some radii and shapes are not applicable because the process is too difficult to carry out
