Press brake bending and CNC bending

Q: What is the difference between press brake bending and CNC press brake bending?

Traditional press brake bending is carried out manually with a conventional bending machine, where the operator’s experience is crucial for the result. CNC press brake bending (Computer Numerical Control) is digitally controlled and provides greater precision, repeatability and the possibility of complex bends. CNC machines are programmed to perform precise bends in a sequence, which reduces errors and increases efficiency.

Q: What are the benefits of CNC bending?

Precision CNC machines ensure accurate and consistent bends. Efficiency Faster production time and fewer errors. Complexity: The ability to create advanced and complex shapes. Repeatability Perfect results, even with large batches.

At our machine factory, we use several different sizes of press brakes that match the scope of your specific task. You have the task – we have the solution.

Our Bystronic, Trumpf and Fasti press brake machines can process workpieces up to 4500 mm in length and with a material thickness of up to 30 mm. Advanced and modern technology with angle measurement system ensures an optimal result. This applies to both bending, CNC bending and press brake bending.

Press brake bending in high quality

At Ollerup Maskinfabrik in Slagelse, we offer press brake bending of all types – simple as well as complex tasks. Depending on the design and purpose of the project, we can bend steel, aluminium and metal plates down to the smallest detail. When you work with us, you are always assured of a good result.

Our press brakes are also equipped with a laser safety system. With modern technology and experienced staff, we can handle both large and small tasks quickly and efficiently.

We have the following bending machines for bending, CNC bending and press brake bending:

Trumpf – 50 tons – bending length of 1500 mm

Trumpf – – 85 tons – bending length of 2000 mm

Trumpf – 320 tons – bending length of 4500 mm

Bystronic – 320 tons – bending length 4500 mm

Calendars – 500 tons – bending length of 4000 mm

We guarantee high precision and a fine finish on all profiles regardless of thickness and length by using the ACB system, where the bending accuracy is +/- 0.3 degrees.

Modern and flexible CNC bending

With our three modern bending machines, and using the ACB system, we can offer flexible bending of all types of CNC bending. We can therefore quickly and efficiently carry out even the most advanced tasks according to the customer's wishes and needs.

You can find a list here About our machines. Our Fasti machine for CNC bending has a capacity of up to 500 tonnes with a 6-axis CNC bending length of 4000mm with crowning. We can therefore handle the very largest of tasks.

What is sheet metal bending?

Press brake bending is a method where thick metal plates are bent to create edges and shapes. This is done by bending the metal plate around a fixed and solid triangular shape with a pressure of up to 500 tons.

We can bend metal in thicknesses up to 33 mm, depending on the material selection. In addition, we can press brake bend plates in lengths up to 4500 mm.

Fordele ved CNC-kantbukning

One of the advantages of CNC press brake bending is that it can bend metal plates with a high degree of precision. This makes it possible to bend plates into specific shapes and sizes, and not least to create complex designs that would otherwise be difficult to achieve with other methods. CNC press brake bending is also faster than many other bending methods and can bend large quantities of metal plates in a relatively short time. This makes it efficient and cost-effective for many companies.

What can be formed with a CNC press brake?

A press brake can form metal plates that can subsequently be cut to fit different types of constructions. This can include cabinets, hinges, signs, pylons, metal shields, metal beams, modules, etc.

Kantbukning bruges til at forme metalplader, så de får en vinkel langs kanten. Det bruges ofte til at skabe stivere, forstærke kanter eller til at gøre monteringen af dele lettere.

Kantbukning is used in the production of:

Building components and steel structures
Machine cabinets and enclosures
Sheet metal parts for cooling and ventilation systems
Metal frames and fittings
Panels for industrial machinery

What size items can you bend?

We can bend metal in thicknesses up to 33 mm, depending on the material selection. In addition, we can press brake bend plates in lengths up to 4500 mm.

Is it possible to make prototypes?

Yes, we offer the production of prototypes, so you can test and adjust the design before we start production on a larger scale.

What does CNC press brake bending cost?

The price depends on several factors, including:

Material selection
Number of book per subject
The subject's size and complexity
Production volume
