Bendmax Mechanical Crowning Table | CNC/Manual Deflection Compensation System

Press brake crowning is a critical compensation technology that addresses deflection issues in sheet metal bending operations. When bending long workpieces, press brakes naturally deflect under load, creating inconsistent bend angles across the material length.   Mechanical wedge crowning system - By far the most common solution to compensating for deflection is mechanical crowning systems. Mechanical crowning systems are installed in place of a bottom tool holder, as they also serve this function. They typically feature either mechanical or hydraulic clamping as options. They also typically feature different drive designs, from analog to digital readouts and from hand crank assemblies to CNC motors. Mechanical crowning systems can typically be outfitted to the press brake at the time of purchase, as well as after the purchase in the form of a retrofit. Mechanical crowning systems vary in design, accuracy, and ease of use from product to product.   If your press brake didn't have a hydraulic crowning system, then a mechanical crowning system will probably be the solutiont what you need to compensate for deflection.
