Press Brake Tooling CNC Die Set High Strength Model PBT-300 42CrMo T7 Optional
Product Overview
Press brake tooling (punch and die set) is designed for hydraulic and CNC press brake machines used in sheet metal bending and forming processes. It controls bending angle, radius, and forming accuracy in industrial metal fabrication applications. The tooling is suitable for both standard bending and complex forming operations. Different material grades such as 42CrMo and T7 are used to meet various working load and production requirements.
Application Requirements
In sheet metal bending processes, tool selection directly affects:
- Bending angle accuracy
- Surface marking condition
- Forming stability
- Tool service life
Incorrect tooling selection may lead to angle deviation or inconsistent forming results during production.

Working Principle
Press brake tooling works through mechanical force transmission:
- Punch applies downward force
- Sheet metal is positioned on the die
- Hydraulic system generates bending force
- Die opening determines bending angle and radius
- Material is formed into required shape
Different tooling profiles are used for different bending geometries.
Selection Guide
Tooling selection depends on:
- Sheet thickness and material type
- Required bending angle and radius
- Machine tonnage (40T-3000T range)
- Production volume and durability requirement
Recommended selection:
- T7 → general bending applications
- 42CrMo → high strength / long cycle production
