How to assess the quality of press brake tooling.

The quality of a press brake tool depends on precise physical and functional properties. Eurostamp Tooling is going to show you the three must-have qualities of a perfect press brake tool.

A high-quality press brake tool has to comply with a list of production parameters and have properties that define its quality, precision, performance and durability.

To evaluate the quality of a press brake tool, we have to assess the essential parameters of a good tool.

TOUGHNESS-DURABILITY.

The tools have to:

    • bear the heavy loads applied in sheet metal bending (both for punches and dies
    • resist the repetitive cycles of metal processing (mainly for punches)
    • resist the abrasive wear caused by sheet metal sliding (mainly for dies).

ACCURACY.

Press brake tools must be fabricated with extremely accurate dimensional tolerances, so as to ensure the highest degree of precision during metal processing and thus:

    • avoid bending errors
    • ensure they are aligned during installation
    • make sure they are interchangeable should single segments of tools be partially replaced.

FUNCTIONALITY.

An important, yet underestimated, aspect is that tools must be carefully designed and developed in terms of:

  • shape
  • dimensions
  • properties.

In this way, the tools will easily adapt and fit to any machines they are mounted on. They will also meet the requirements of most users.
