Panbrake Folders
Panbrake folders, also known as pan brake machines, are essential tools in the sheet metal industry. These versatile machines are primarily used for bending and shaping metal sheets into precise, uniform angles, making them indispensable in fabrication workshops. Whether you’re working with aluminum, stainless steel, or mild steel, a panbrake folder provides the precision and control needed for high-quality metalwork.
Application of Panbrake Folders
Panbrake folders are widely used in the production of metal parts for industries such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and HVAC. They are ideal for creating components like enclosures, brackets, panels, and frames. Whether it’s for small-scale custom work or large-scale production, panbrake folders provide the precision and flexibility needed to meet diverse fabrication needs.
Benefits of a Panbrake Folder vs Press Brake
You don’t need to change tools when moving from one thickness to another or if you are doing safety edges (hems)
It doesn’t mark the material in the same way as your Press Brake as in you won’t get those bending lines from the Vee.
They are more simple to program, and it is easier to be accurate.
With the combined use of a backgauge table with ball transfers or brushes, large sheets and panels are easier to handle. What is often a two-person job on a Press Brake is a one-person job on a CNC Folder.
It is possible on some models to bend up then down without taking the sheet metal out of the machine and flipping it. When handling large panels, this can save improve productivity and safety enormously.
