FAQ's

Press brake tools are specialized punches and dies used with press brake machines to bend sheet metal into specific angles, shapes and profiles. They help produce components for electrical enclosures, industrial machinery, automotive parts and other fabrication applications. Farohar Engineering offers press brake tooling designed for accurate, consistent bending and demanding production requirements.

Farohar Engineering offers a range of press brake punches and dies, including straight punches, semi-gooseneck punches, gooseneck punches, profile punches, single Vee dies, multi Vee dies, rocker dies, hemming dies and Z-bending tools. The appropriate tooling depends on the component profile, bending operation, machine interface and production requirements.

Select press brake tooling based on sheet material, thickness, required bend angle, inside bend radius, V-opening, component geometry and press brake machine specifications. Also consider tooling capacity, punch clearance and the possibility of tool interference during bending. Sharing your component drawing and machine details with the tooling supplier can help identify a suitable solution.

Farohar Engineering offers tooling options for several established press brake tooling systems, including Amada, Trumpf, Wila, LVD and Bystronic types. Compatibility should be confirmed against the machine model, tool clamping system, dimensions and required application before placing an order.

A straight punch is commonly used for general-purpose sheet metal bending. A gooseneck punch has a specially shaped profile that provides additional clearance for forming deeper channels, boxes and components with return flanges. The correct choice depends on the component geometry and the risk of collision between the workpiece and tooling.

Rocker dies are specialized press brake dies designed for particular bending and forming operations where controlled tool movement or a specific forming profile is required. Depending on their design, they can help produce specialized bends and profiles. Farohar Engineering offers rocker die options, including adaptive rocker dies and adaptive rocker joggle dies, for application-specific tooling requirements.

A hemming die is used to fold a sheet metal edge over itself to create a closed or partially closed edge. Hemming is commonly used to improve edge safety, component rigidity and finished appearance. Spring-loaded, inclined and other specialized hemming dies can be selected according to the material, folding sequence and component design.

Custom press brake tooling can be developed for specialized component geometries and non-standard bending requirements. Farohar Engineering provides tooling design and consultancy services for application-specific requirements. Customers should share engineering drawings, machine specifications, material details and the desired finished profile to assess the appropriate tooling solution.

To improve bending accuracy and tooling life, choose the correct punch and die combination, stay within the tooling's rated capacity, maintain proper alignment and inspect tools regularly for wear or damage. Proper handling, cleaning and storage also help preserve tool condition. Hardened and precision-ground tooling can support dimensional consistency and wear resistance when used under suitable operating conditions.

To request a quotation, contact Farohar Engineering with the required tool type, machine brand and model, tooling dimensions, material thickness, component drawing and expected quantity.
