Tools

In order to use a press brake for bending, a tool is required which is mounted on the press beam or press table. The required tool depends on the bending method, raw material, sheet thickness and angle.

tools

RightAngle Control selects the optimal tooling based on the material, thickness and angle. You will find additional tooling information in the tooling catalogs of the machine manufacturers.

Tool manufacturers don’t use always the same definition of the Die-width. Please ensure that you enter the correct values into RightAngle Control.

To configure the tooling you purchased with your machine use Settings > Tools.
