Press Brake Pneumatic Clamping System | Fast & Precise Tool Change

The Express Clamping System from bendmax offers the ease and speed of manual lever activation to quickly clamp and seat European style punches. Adding a clamping system to your press brake is like adding new life to your machine — it adds updated functionality and refreshes the bending surface. Clamps are a great way to dramatically reduce setup and changeover time. Preserve the life of your precision tooling with the NO.50903 Anti-Wear Clamp. Integrated with a specialized Nylon Strip interface, it eliminates metal-on-metal friction, preventing scratches on punch tangs while ensuring silky-smooth lateral adjustments. Ideal for protecting high-end, precision-ground punches.

Built for uncompromising durability, the NO.50900 Heavy-Duty Clamp is the industry standard for European tooling. Engineered with a hardened body and reinforced lever, it delivers maximum gripping force to withstand high-tonnage operations. The reliable 'workhorse' for consistent, long-term production.   This Eccentric Lever Clamp For European Tooling is suitable for operators who require fast tool changeover on European tooling systems, and its narrow 17.5 mm width makes it ideal for machines with limited mounting space. When selecting clamps, matching the height and lever type to the press brake’s upper beam ensures proper punch fitment. During operation, avoid excessive force on the eccentric lever and regularly check the contact surfaces to prevent misalignment and premature wear.

Maximize setup flexibility with the NO.50905 Dual-Direction Clamp. Featuring a unique self-seating mechanism, it allows tools to be loaded from both the front and back, automatically pulling punches into perfect alignment. The ultimate choice for complex bending sequences requiring speed and versatility. During operation, keep the clamp and punch seating surfaces clean, avoid over-tightening the eccentric lever, and conduct regular checks to prevent misalignment or uneven clamping force. Proper selection and maintenance extend tooling life and guarantee consistent bending accuracy.

The Press Brake Pneumatic Clamping System is designed to provide fast, reliable and precise tooling clamping for modern and existing press brakes. By replacing conventional manual clamping systems, it significantly reduces tool change time while improving tooling positioning, alignment and overall bending efficiency. Pneumatic clamping systems are widely used on high-performance press brakes and can also be installed as a retrofit solution for older machines. The system is mounted directly on the press brake ram, providing strong and uniform clamping force across the tooling length. Once activated, the Pneumatic system securely clamps and positions the press brake tooling, allowing operators to complete tool changes quickly and accurately. This makes it particularly suitable for production environments with frequent tooling changes, segmented punches, short production runs and automated bending operations.   Compared with conventional manual clamping, a Pneumatic clamping system can significantly reduce setup time and machine downtime while improving repeatability and operator efficiency.

The Double-Sided Quick Clamping System is designed for fast and secure installation of press brake punches, providing balanced clamping and flexible tooling positioning for efficient sheet metal bending.

The system provides fast and flexible tool handling. Releasing the lever unlocks all tools simultaneously, while the safety mechanism prevents accidental release during operation. For tool extraction, each individual segment is removed separately by lifting it against the stop, rotating it slightly, and then pulling it downward. This design allows quick tool changes while maintaining safe and controlled handling.
