How to Choose a Press Brake
Selecting the right press brake depends on several key factors including material type, thickness, bend length and production requirements.
Key considerations include:
- Material thickness and tonnage requirements – Thicker materials require higher tonnage machines
- Bend length – Determines required bed length and machine size
- CNC vs hydraulic – CNC brake presses offer automation and repeatability, while hydraulic machines provide simplicity and versatility (the machines we sell are both hydraulic AND CNC)
- Backgauge configuration – Multi-axis backgauges improve accuracy and efficiency for complex parts
- Control system – Modern CNC models use advanced controllers such as Delem or ESA for programming and precision

Press Brake Applications
Hydraulic Press Brakes
These machines are used across sheet metal bending, structural steel fabrication, brackets, enclosures and panel production, stainless steel and aluminium work, and custom architectural metalwork; from small workshops to large-scale production floors.
Industries we supply include:
As a category, hydraulic models are a reliable, cost-effective option for general fabrication, offering simplicity, durability and consistent bending performance. They suit general sheet metal work, structural steel bending, and low-to-medium volume production where robustness matters more than automation. Expect excellent value, long service life, and a wide range of tonnages and bed lengths.
CNC Press Brakes
CNC models add automation and repeatability to high-precision bending. Fitted with modern controllers like Delem or ESA, they support graphical programming, multi-axis control and real-time bend correction. This is ideal for tight-tolerance parts, repetitive runs, and businesses looking to cut down on operator dependency. Programmable backgauges and optional automation push productivity and consistency further.
Workshop Press Brakes
Built for smaller shops, maintenance teams and light manufacturing, these compact machines deliver dependable performance without the footprint of larger industrial systems. They’re well suited to small batch work, light steel and aluminium fabrication, repairs, and training environments. They are a practical, professional-grade entry point for smaller operations.
Industrial Press Brakes
Engineered for high tonnage, long beds and continuous production, these machines handle thick materials and large components without sacrificing accuracy. Expect to find them in heavy fabrication facilities, structural steel production, and large-format or automated manufacturing lines. They are often configured with advanced CNC controls and multi-axis backgauges for high-volume output.

Brake Press FAQs
A press brake is a machine used to bend sheet metal using a punch and die system. They are commonly used in fabrication workshops to produce precise bends for components such as brackets, panels and structural parts.
Entry-level 135T workshop CNC models from a quality European machine tool builder typically start from around $90,000 for 4-axis (Y1, Y2, X, R) configurations.
Mid-range options with more axes run $120,000 to $160,000. Pricing climbs further at the high end depending on tonnage, bed length and automation.

Hydraulic press brakes provide reliable bending power and are well suited to general fabrication tasks. CNC press brakes use computer-controlled systems to automate bending sequences, improve accuracy, and increase efficiency. It makes them ideal for high-precision and production environments.
The tonnage you need depends on material type, thickness, bend length and tooling. Selecting the correct tonnage is essential for safe operation and accurate bending. Our team will assist you with tonnage calculations to ensure the correct machine is selected.
A press brake is used across industries including metal fabrication, construction, manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and engineering. These machines are essential for bending sheet metal into components such as brackets, panels, enclosures and structural parts, supporting both small workshop fabrication and high-volume industrial production.
A press brake can bend a wide range of sheet metal materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, galvanised steel, copper and brass. The specific material that can be bent depends on the machine’s tonnage, tooling setup and bend length.
Mild steel is the most commonly used material due to its strength and formability, while aluminium requires lower tonnage but careful handling to avoid marking. Stainless steel, being harder, requires higher tonnage and precision tooling.
Modern CNC models can be configured to handle varying material types and thicknesses, making them suitable for everything from light fabrication to heavy industrial applications.
The main difference between NC and CNC models is the level of automation, control and precision.
NC (Numerical Control) machines are simpler, allowing basic programming of bend depth and backgauge position. They're typically used for straightforward bending tasks and lower production volumes.
CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machines offer advanced automation, multi-axis control and graphical programming. They let operators store programs, automate complex bend sequences and achieve high repeatability and accuracy making them ideal for high-precision fabrication, complex parts and production environments where efficiency and consistency matter most.
A high-quality press brake, like the Ermaksan range, can last 15 to 25 years or more with proper maintenance and regular servicing. Industrial-grade machines from reputable manufacturers are designed for long service life, even in demanding production environments.
The lifespan depends on factors such as usage intensity, maintenance practices, operating conditions and build quality. Regular servicing, correct tooling use and proper operator training can significantly extend machine life.
Many modern brake presses also allow for upgrades to CNC controls and components, helping extend their operational life and maintain productivity over time.
