1. Bending Capacity

Different models of CNC press brakes vary in bending length and bending force. Users should choose the appropriate model based on the size of the workpieces and material thickness to avoid resource waste due to insufficient machine capacity or over-selection.

2.Bending Accuracy

As a key indicator for evaluating the performance of CNC press brakes, bending accuracy directly affects the quality of product formation and the accuracy of subsequent processes. Users should pay attention to the machine’s repositioning accuracy and angle accuracy to ensure it meets high-precision bending requirements.

3. Control System

The control system of a CNC press brake determines its ease of operation and level of intelligence. Users should focus on the stability, usability and expandability of the control system to improve bending efficiency and reduce operational difficulty.

4. Safety Performance

Safety is paramount during the use of CNC press brakes. Users should focus on the safety protection features, such as emergency stop button, limit switch and photoelectric protection, to ensure the safety of operators.

5. Machine Stability

The stability of a CNC press brake directly impacts bending quality and production efficiency. Users should take into account of the structural design and material selection to ensure it remains stable during long-term use.

6. Maintenance and Care

The maintenance of CNC press brakes is crucial for their lifespan and performance. Users should attach importance to the ease of maintenance, availability of spare parts and repair services to reduce maintenance costs.

7. After-Sales Service

Quality after-sales service is an important aspect of protecting user rights. Users should keep a watchful eye on the manufacturer’s after-sales service system, including training, repair and technical support, so as to ensure timely assistance during use.

8. Brand Reputation

Brand reputation is an important reference factor for users when choosing a CNC press brake. Users can consider the manufacturer’s recognition, market share and user reviews to select a brand with a good reputation.

9. Price-Performance Ratio

Users should regard the price-performance ratio of CNC press brakes as important while meeting their own needs. In doing so, they may choose press brakes with high cost-effectiveness.

10. Eco-friendly and Energy-saving

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, users should also pay attention to the environmental and energy-saving performance when purchasing CNC press brakes to reduce energy consumption and pollution emissions.

2. Bed Length: The second factor to contemplate is the bed length, which is the distance between the inside of the uprights of the press brake. This parameter determines the maximum length of metal that can be bent. While longer bed lengths offer increased versatility, they also come at a higher cost. Therefore, it’s essential to choose a bed length that aligns with your bending needs while staying within your budget constraints.

3. Ram Stroke: Ram stroke, or the distance the ram can move, is the third critical factor to consider. This element influences the maximum depth of the bends achievable. Longer ram strokes come with a higher price tag, so it’s vital to strike a balance between meeting your bending requirements and staying within your budget.

4. CNC Control: The fourth consideration is the type of control system, with CNC (computer numerical control) being a notable option. While CNC press brakes are pricier than manual counterparts, they offer distinct advantages. CNC systems enable the automation of bending operations, allowing for multiple bends in a single operation, thereby enhancing efficiency. The ability to store multiple bend programs streamlines repeatability.

5. Safety Features: The fifth and final crucial factor is the incorporation of safety features. Safety is paramount when working with heavy machinery, and press brakes are no exception. Ensure the chosen press brake comes equipped with safety features such as emergency stop buttons, light curtains, and interlocks. These features contribute significantly to accident prevention and operator safety.
