China Press Brake Brands Ranking - Third Tier
The third tier of Chinese bending machine manufacturers consists of various small press brake machine manufacturers from Ma’anshan and Nantong. These factories often have severe homogenization competition in their machines, and there is no other difference except for the color of the machines. These press brake manufacturers have cheap bending machines, but their quality is very unstable. Due to the mobility of assembly workers from these manufacturers, they lack core production technology and research and development capabilities, resulting in a significant difference in quality compared to the bending machines produced by the first/second tier manufacturers.
How To Determine The Quality Of Press Brake?
How we choose the top press brake manufacturers in the china press brake brands ranking? Quality is the most important criteria.
The Structure Of The Press Brake Machine
The press brake machine is mainly composed of upper mold, lower mold, worktable, pneumatic system, hydraulic system, electrical system, and machine frame. A high-quality bending machine requires all parts to be coordinated, free from looseness and shaking, and have reliable sealing performance. For example, the operation of the pneumatic system needs to be sensitive, the hydraulic system needs to achieve stable pressure output, the machine frame needs to be sturdy and firm, and the appearance needs to be flat and beautiful.
Processing Technology
Processing technology is an important indicator for measuring the quality of a bending brake machine. A bending brake machine with good processing technology can ensure the accuracy, stability, and durability of the processed parts. However, products produced by press brake machines with poor processing technology may have quality problems such as irregular shape, low dimensional accuracy, and rough surface. Therefore, when choosing a CNC press brake machine, it is necessary to check whether the manufacturer’s processing technology is excellent.
After Sales Service
After sales service is an important basis for consumers to evaluate the quality of a press brake. This point is very significant especially for over-sea purchasing. The purchased bending brake machine may inevitably encounter some problems during long-term use, and good after-sales service can ensure the efficient operation of the equipment. A good after-sales service should have a complete technical support and engineer service team, timely find solutions to problems, and have the ability to respond quickly and solve problems.
Purchase Suggestion
Clients should choose the appropriate bending machine manufacturer according to your needs. Before purchasing a press brake, it is important to have a clear understanding of the processed board information and your technical requirements. Different models and configurations of bending machines are suitable for handling plates of different sizes and properties, with different processing ranges and workpiece shapes. Purchasing the wrong model may require replacing the equipment.
The above press brake machine brands we investigated are well-known mainstream bending machine manufacturers in China. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the products and experiences they provide are also completely different. According to the needs of your project business, there is always one of these bending mechanism manufacturers that is more suitable for you.
Conclusion
A CNC bending brake machine is a tool used to bend cold metal sheets into various geometric cross-sectional shapes using the provided molds (universal or specialized molds). It is a sheet metal forming machine designed for cold rolling sheet metal processing, widely used in sheet metal bending processing in industries such as automobiles, aircraft manufacturing, light industry, shipbuilding, containers, elevators, and railway vehicles. However, not all press brake machines are the same. Each press brake machine manufacturer produces a different model configuration, and each model configuration has its own advantages and disadvantages.
