A Small press brake (mini press brake) is a compact machine used to bend small sized parts, It includes electrical, manual, and CNC hydraulic press brakes. The small press brake is used to bend small lengths of 1.6 to 2.5m and tonnage capacity of 40 to 100 tons, designed for smaller scale operations such as workshops, small factories, and industries like automotive. The mini press brake machine is easy to use, affordable, and efficient, which makes it the right machine to optimize your product.
 
How Does a Small Press Brake Work?
The small Press brake sheet metal machine is capable of bending tonnage for small tonnages. It is composed of a frame, hydraulic system, foot pedal, small brake tooling. The mini press brake machine forms pre-bends by clamping the workpiece between a matching punch and die. It has a wide range of press brake tooling selections with custom designs such as V dies, channel forming dies, and hemming dies. The V dies are used to create a variety of angles of the bends and are the most common type of small press brake dies. The sheet metal press brake calculator is a useful tool to figure out the total bending force.
