How to make press brake dies

Press brake dies are tools used by bending machines to form sheet metal for simple and complex bends. We can make press brake dies for Amada, Promecam, and Trumpf models with custom designs.

 

Press Brake Dies Working Principle:

This press brake tooling dies consists of brake Punch, Dies, and Press brake tool Holders. It uses a tool clamping system to connect quality press brake and custom Brake Dies. Then, the press brake punches forces the metal sheet plate into the die for the desired shapes. It forms Pre-bends by clamping the workpiece between the matching bottom and upper dies.

 

Press Brake Dies Material:

What material are press brake dies made of? Common materials for press brake dies include high-speed steel (HSS), hot work tool steel (HWTS), and tool steel (e.g., D2, M2, and O1).

Normally, we use tools steel, alloy, and polymer materials for press brake dies, T8 steel, T10 steel, 42CrMo, and Cr12MoV.

What are the benefits of homemade bending brake dies?

Press brake homemade dies offer several significant advantages. They can improve bending performance, allowing for complex bending that standard bending tools cannot achieve, thereby improving part quality and reducing waste. Customized homemade press brake dies reduce material handling and setup time, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the manufacturing process.

 

Homemade Press Brake Dies:

We offer a wide range of brake die types such as American style, European, & Wilson press brake tools. The DIY press brake dies with specific v-opening sizes and bend radius can fit various material thicknesses.

DIY Press Brake Dies Process

The manufacturing process on the production line includes the following for homemade press brake dies, according to your desired shapes and bending angle. Making  sheet metal brake dies involves several process steps as below:

• Round bar material blanking
• Forging to fit the required size
• Tempering
• Milling End face
• Rough planed notch or cutting edge
• Heat treatment
• Tempering
• Fine milling
• Fine grinding
• Acceptance accuracy and hardness
• Packing
