The Introduce To CNC Press Brake & NC Press Brake
CNC Press Brake and NC Press Brake are bending equipment through controller to forming for sheet metal working.
It all belongs to Press Brake Machine based on different level of automatic and controlling.
The control system acts as the brain of press brake, calculating various values, sending commands to other parts, get a final bending order.
The controller provides accurate results and adjustable permissions for the bending work of the machine.
What Is The Difference: CNC Press Brake Vs NC Press Brake
The main differences between CNC Press Brake and NC Press Brake are controllers, control methods and the number of control axes.
Above points result in different functionality and final angular accuracy during the bending process.
CNC Press Brake Machines have more advanced controllers that allow for complex bending and more functionality.
CNC control is by proportional valve directly control the oil cylinders, By the grating ruler positioning, can be closed loop control, NC by AC motor or Servo motor control cylinder, limit switch set up and down stop.
CNC can control more axes, NC can control fewer axes.
What Are Their Advantages And Disadvantage?
NC Press Brake
NC press brake, also known as WC67K series, is divided into simple NC and Servo NC, which enhances the processing efficiency and technology level of the machine.
NC press brake is controlled by NC system for up and down of Ram, it has faster working speed compared with manual type or mechanical type.
The Back gauge is equipped with ball screws and linear guides to ensure faster speed and more reliable positioning during front and rear running.
Easy operating functions save time previously spent on manual operations.
The NC controller is also can make multi-step programming, solving the problem of repetitive bending.
Currently, When NC Press Brake has chosen the TP10S, and equipped with servo motors and servo drives. It controlling multiple axes up to 6+1 Axis, which greatly improve the flexibility and accuracy, and is favored by many sheet metal workers.
Easy-control NC controllers, take ESTUN E21 as an example, although complete the basic machine control, but for other bending machine parts setting is limited;
Such as mold parameters, clamping point, mute point, Crowning system, etc. NC Press Brake can not be changed and still need to be manually adjusted;
It can be upgraded to the torsion-bar servo controller with TP10S, and effectively solve the above problems, TP10S is based on the Swiss CYBELEC CT-12 controller imitation and development of Chinese controller;
TP10S has a 10-inch touch screen, servo motors, angle programming, automatic calculation of bending depth, tool library, Motorized crowning or Manual crowning features;
In total, The NC Press Brake is a low-cost investment and user-friendly, But its bending accuracy still needs to be improved. Only for basic sheet metal bending or simple shape bending;
It depends on the quality that the user requires for the final work pieces, but the NC Press Brake is still worth considering.
CNC Press Brake
CNC Press Brake is a sheet bending machine with more advanced functions. It includes WE67K, WF67K, MB8 series.
CNC Press Brake is based on proportional valve and grating ruler to built closed-loop control method.
The machine runs stably, the repetition positioning accuracy is within 0.02mm, excellent synchronization performance and bending accuracy;
CNC controller realizes 2D and 3D simulation to ensure that complex shapes of bending are fully taken into account, providing the most optimal programming solution, greatly improving production efficiency and workpiece quality.
CNC Press Brake analyzes the machine's operating status thanks to the control system's powerful algorithms, allowing precise adjustment of each machine parameter, leaving room for improvement in the bending machine's performance.
The continuous innovation in CNC system technology has also allowed the CNC Press Brake to be used for a wide range of applications, such as bending cell centers, which can be coordinated with robots.
Advanced CNC system also provides safety, Laser Protection, Light Curtain; Angle Check, Laser Check; sheet follow devices, etc.
The CNC controllers offer multiple languages and DXF file input with a high degree of intelligence.
These features will play an important role in the real working and really help the sheet metal bending work.
CNC Press Brakes are more costly, more expensive to maintain than NC Press Brakes;
CNC Press Brake is characterized by complex and efficient bending, which requires workers with certain operating experience;
Conclusion
CNC Press Brake is capable of more complex bend and precision bend, while NC Press Brake is characterized by easy bend and high cost performance;
CNC Press Brake does not necessarily mean that it is better than NC Press Brake, Under different factors, the more suitable Press Brake Machine can bring the best processing efficiency belongs to you.

FAQs
What Is A Brake Press Machine?
Actually, ‘Brake Press’ is same as ‘Press Brake’, they just differ in the name sequence.
Due to some industries and people’s are not familiar with the Press Brake machine, mistakes are made when using it or searching for it, but it is accepted after long time.
Similarly, Press Brake is sold very aggressively, which leads to the need for some sellers to use different titles for marketing purposes.
What Is A Bending Brake?
Bending Brake refers to a small bending machine for bend sheet metal, manually or electrically operated.
Mostly used for bending the edges of thin sheets, also called ‘Finger Brake’.
Bending brake has a simple structure, limited bending angle, usually suitable for home factories, stores.
Bending brake has low cost and single function.
