A press brake fabrication is a process used for bending sheet metal and metal plates, most commonly sheet metal. It forms predetermined bends by clamping the workpiece between a matching top tool and bottom die. Typically, two C-frames form the sides of the press brake, connected to a table at the bottom and on a movable beam at the top. The bottom tool is mounted on the table, with the top tool mounted on the upper beam. Press brake fabrication is used to fabricate custom parts like sheet metal parts, stamping parts, etc.
