Selecting the right press brake depends on several key factors including material type, thickness, bend length and production requirements.

Key considerations include:

  • Material thickness and tonnage requirements – Thicker materials require higher tonnage machines
  • Bend length – Determines required bed length and machine size
  • CNC vs hydraulic – CNC press brakes offer automation and repeatability, while hydraulic machines provide simplicity and versatility
  • Backgauge configuration – Multi-axis backgauges improve accuracy and efficiency for complex parts
  • Control system – Modern CNC press brakes use advanced controllers such as Delem or ESA for programming and precision

Brake Press FAQs

A press brake is a machine used to bend sheet metal using a punch and die system. Press brakes are commonly used in fabrication workshops to produce precise bends for components such as brackets, panels and structural parts.

The cost of a press brake in Australia varies depending on tonnage, bed length, and whether the machine is hydraulic or CNC. Entry-level workshop press brakes may start from tens of thousands of dollars, while large CNC press brakes for industrial production can cost significantly more.

Hydraulic press brakes provide reliable bending power and are well suited to general fabrication tasks. CNC press brakes use computer-controlled systems to automate bending sequences, improve accuracy, and increase efficiency, making them ideal for high-precision and production environments.

The required press brake tonnage depends on material type, thickness, bend length, and tooling. Selecting the correct tonnage is essential for safe operation and accurate bending. Our team can assist with tonnage calculations to ensure the correct machine is selected.

A press brake is used across industries including metal fabrication, construction, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and engineering. These machines are essential for bending sheet metal into components such as brackets, panels, enclosures and structural parts, supporting both small workshop fabrication and high-volume industrial production.

A press brake can bend a wide range of sheet metal materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, galvanised steel, copper and brass. The specific material that can be bent depends on the machine’s tonnage, tooling setup and bend length.

Mild steel is the most commonly used material due to its strength and formability, while aluminium requires lower tonnage but careful handling to avoid marking. Stainless steel, being harder, requires higher tonnage and precision tooling.

Modern CNC press brakes can be configured to handle varying material types and thicknesses, making them suitable for everything from light fabrication to heavy industrial applications.

The main difference between NC and CNC press brakes is the level of automation, control and precision.

NC (Numerical Control) press brakes are simpler machines that allow basic programming of bend depth and backgauge position. They are typically used for straightforward bending tasks and lower production volumes.

CNC (Computer Numerical Control) press brakes offer advanced automation, multi-axis control and graphical programming. They enable operators to store programs, automate complex bend sequences and achieve high repeatability and accuracy.

CNC press brakes are ideal for high-precision fabrication, complex parts and production environments where efficiency and consistency are critical.

A high-quality press brake, like the Ermaksan range, can last 15 to 25 years or more with proper maintenance and regular servicing. Industrial-grade machines from reputable manufacturers are designed for long service life, even in demanding production environments.

The lifespan of a press brake depends on factors such as usage intensity, maintenance practices, operating conditions and build quality. Regular servicing, correct tooling use and proper operator training can significantly extend machine life.

Many modern press brakes also allow for upgrades to CNC controls and components, helping extend their operational life and maintain productivity over time.
