Information Required for Quotation

Every Press Brake Bending Tool is designed specifically for the customer’s hydraulic press and application. To prepare an accurate quotation, we will normally require the following information:

• Hydraulic press manufacturer and model
• Press capacity (tonnage)
• Bed dimensions
• Available throat depth
• Available vertical daylight
• Photographs or details of the existing ram and tool holding arrangement
• Required bending length
• Material specification and thickness
• Component drawings, CAD files or sketches, where available
• Estimated production quantities
• Preferred tooling configuration, if known
• Photographs of the component or application, where available

Design Considerations

Every Press Brake Bending Tool is engineered specifically to suit the customer’s hydraulic press, application and forming requirements. Rather than supplying a standard catalogue product, The Workshop Press Company UK Ltd designs each system to ensure the tooling is appropriate for the intended operation and fully compatible with the customer’s equipment.

• Hydraulic press capacity and machine configuration
• Bed dimensions, throat depth and available daylight
• Existing ram and tool holding arrangement
• Material specification, thickness and tensile strength
• Required bending width and component geometry
• Punch and die profile selection
• Production quantities and duty cycle
• Interchangeable tooling requirements
• Tool steel selection and heat treatment where required
