Have you ever heard of a machine by the name of press brake? It’s a really cool machine that bends and shapes large sheets of metal. Imagine a huge pair of scissors, but for metal! Did you also know, that a press brake cannot function on its own? A special tool called a die is needed for it to function correctly. The die is what allows the press brake to shape the metal into the specific contour we desire. That’s where ACL comes in! With precision press brakes, ACL allows them to function properly — as well as create the shapes needed.

From Simple Bends to Intricate Shapes - Dies for Press Brake Make it Easy

Press brakes are used in a variety of jobs and industries including aircraft, automotive, construction, etc. They are able to bend a sheet of metal into simple shapes, such as boxes and brackets. We see these shapes in so many of the things we use in life. But press brakes are equally capable of producing very complex shapes, such as the wings of a plane or the body panels of an automobile. So, what the hell is this bending? As a press brake bends a metal sheet, it applies force to it by pushing the metal against a die. The die is specially formed to cause the metal to be bent a certain way. Which means that if you require a different shape, you require a different die. Fortunately, ACL makes excellent dies for all types of bends and shapes. Workers have a wide variety of options to choose from, enabling them to get what they specifically need.
