Filter by Process Zone:
Bending Accuracy Regardless of Material Variation
An additional independent programmable crowning V-axis system on the PPEB-H Series and Easy-Form® Series press brakes from LVD Strippit automatically compensates for asymmetric variations in material thickness and material properties and thus assure bending accuracy over the entire length of a work piece.
Compact, Flexible and Efficient Forming
These compact machines from TRUMPF offer a high quality production of small bent sheet metal parts up to 40 in used in vending machines, electrical equipment, telecommunications equipment and aerospace components.
Increase Productivity with 99 Station Positioners
THESI series one-axis and two-axis positioners from Betenbender control the shifting and positioning of front operated power backgauges in three different operating modes using a memorized program – all for $7,200 or less.
Ultra-High Precision Forming
The down-acting HD NT Series press brake from Amada America uses advanced hydraulics for positioning accuracy, independent AC servo motors to drive high efficiency, and bi-directional hydraulic pumps for an extremely fast approach, bending and return speeds for faster cycle times and more parts per hour.
Mid-Range Size with Heavier Forming Capacity
PPEC press brakes from LVD Strippit combine a rugged, simple design and easy-to-use features in a value minded machine.
Automation Improves Press Brake Profitability

Robotic press brakes offer higher productivity, more flexibility and better profitability for the fabricator. Standard robotic press brake systems from Wolf Robotics include all components, less the press brake, to accommodate common sizes and weights of typical parts. Most press brake equipment is capable of integration into Wolf standard cells.
Ideal Laser Cutting System for Contract Manufacturers
This 5-axis 3D laser cutting system from PRIMA North America achieves up to 30 percent productivity increase for automotive, appliance and aerospace part production.
Reliable High-Performance Vertical Machining Centers
FEELER VMCs from Methods Machine Tools feature 1G X axis acceleration, 1.9 sec tool change time on 30 tool automatic tool changers, and heavy-duty boxway construction with extensive engineering that is backed by a network of technology centers.
Cut Complex Parts Faster, With Better Finish
FANUC iE wire EDMs from Method Machine Tools are ideal for machining a wide range of materials, including cobalt-chrome, high-nickel alloys and titanium often found in challenging applications such as aerospace, medical and military.
1000 AC/DC Power Source for Submerged Arc Welding
The Aristo 1000 AC/DC power source from ESAB Welding and Cutting Products is ideal for automated welding in heavy-duty industrial environments such as welding wind tower structures, nuclear components, beams, bridge components, trailer beams, excavator components, and general fabrication applications.
Gouging System for Hundreds of Metal Fabrication Uses
The N7500 gouging system from Arcair can be utilized on almost all metals, including stainless steel, carbon, manganese, and chrome-moly steels. It is perfect for work with pressure vessels, wind towers, shipbuilding, railroads, bridge and girder manufacturing, and with heavy equipment used in mining industries.
Stick to Your Guns
Featuring multiple options for the cable, handle, trigger, neck and consumables, air-cooled Q-Guns and S-Guns and water-cooled W-Guns from Bernard Welding Equipment can be customized to nearly any MIG welding application to maximize productivity and reduce costs.
