Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a 400-ton press brake?

    Answer:

    A press brake is a machine used in the metalworking industry to bend and shape metal sheets or plates. A 400-ton press brake, specifically, is a machine that can apply 400 tons, or 800,000 pounds, of force to a metal sheet or plate during the bending process.

    This high amount of force allows the press brake to bend thick and heavy metal sheets or plates with a wide range of dimensions and shapes. The maximum dimensions and thicknesses of metal that can be bent on a 400-ton press brake will depend on the specific characteristics of the machine, such as the size of the bed, stroke, and throat depth.

    A 400-ton press brake is a powerful machine that is commonly used in heavy-duty manufacturing applications, such as shipbuilding, construction, and heavy machinery production, where large and thick metal components are required. It can handle a variety of metals, including carbon steel, aluminum, and stainless steel, and is designed to operate efficiently and effectively in high-volume production environments.

    The precision and accuracy of a 400-ton press brake make it an ideal choice for producing complex metal parts and components that require a high level of precision and repeatability. It is a versatile machine that can handle a wide range of bending projects with high precision and accuracy.

  • What are the benefits of a 400-ton press brake?

    Answer:

    There are several benefits of a 400-ton press brake, including:

    1. High bending capacity: It can apply up to 400 tons or 800,000 pounds of force, which allows it to bend thick and heavy metal sheets or plates with a wide range of dimensions and shapes.
    2. Precision and accuracy: It is designed to operate with high precision and accuracy, which makes it suitable for producing complex metal parts and components that require a high level of precision and repeatability.
    3. Versatility: It can handle a variety of metals, including steel, aluminum, and copper, in varying thicknesses and shapes. This makes it a versatile machine that can be used for a wide range of metalworking applications.
    4. Efficiency: It is designed to operate efficiently and effectively in high-volume production environments, making it an essential tool for metal fabrication businesses.
    5. Reduced setup time: It is equipped with advanced features such as programmable controls and automatic tool changers, which reduces the setup time required to change tooling for different bending applications.
    6. Increased productivity: It can handle a wide range of bending projects with high precision and accuracy, which increases productivity and reduces lead times for metal fabrication projects.
    7. Space-saving: It has a relatively compact footprint, which makes it suitable for use in smaller production facilities where space is limited.

    Overall, a 400-ton press brake offers a combination of high bending capacity, precision, versatility, efficiency, productivity, and space-saving design, which makes it an ideal choice for metalworking applications that require heavy-duty bending and high precision. It is a powerful machine that can handle thick and large metal parts and components with high precision and accuracy, making it a valuable investment for metal fabrication businesses of different sizes.
