Choose press braking at Stans & Press

At Stans & Press, we have all the experience and expertise needed to design a product that fits your situation. To simplify the process, we will help you choose the right type of bending, which in turn will make the work less costly.

Depending on the product

  • design
  • complexity
  • production prerequisite

we can choose to use our robotised press brake cell, or one of our manual press brakes. This means that our process can be customised to your needs and thus simplified and streamlined.

What is press braking?

Press braking, also known as sheet metal bending, is one of the most common ways to bend and shape sheet metal parts. With modern machines, long experience and high expertise, we at Stans & Press can offer press braking in most

  • material qualities
  • thicknesses
  • format

At Stans & Press, we have all the prerequisites required to produce well-made and advanced press brakes.

Sheet metal bending

Sheet metal bending and press braking are the same, i.e. the sheet metal is bent using a knife pressed into a pad in a press brake machine with great force. This produces angles and radii in the sheet metal.

How is press braking done?

The sheet metal parts are bent in the press brake machine after being placed on top of a lower tool in the form of a die. The upper tool, the punch, is then lowered to reshape the material. Today's press brakes are CNC-controlled, which means they shape the material using pre-programmed bending sequences.

Press braking is a process that requires a lot of precision. Therefore, we always carry out careful programming and adapt the process to the current sheet thickness, material quality and any specified requirements. To ensure that this is done in the best possible way, we test and fine-tune the process regularly.

Advantages of press braking

There are many advantages to press braking, including short time to production start, low tooling costs and a cost-effective alternative when producing small series and prototypes. Other advantages are high flexibility in design changes and great opportunities to handle thicker materials.

Our press brakes

Our machinery consists of both manual and automated press brakes, also known as press brakes, with pressing force from 40 to 320 tonnes. We at Stans & Press have a solid set of standard tools that cover most needs. In cases where specialised tools are required, we work closely with tool suppliers to meet the customer's specific needs.
