Automated Forming for Speed & Consistency
Our Automatic Tool Change (ATC) and offline programming capabilities enable us to go from design to production without manual delays.
What that means for you:
Faster changeovers between jobs or part revisions
An offline simulation that proves bends before cutting material
Reduced setup time and operator error
Consistent results on multi-stage or multi-bend parts
Our engineering team uses these simulations to validate your design for manufacturability (DFM) and prevent costly rework as parts move from flat to formed.
Why Choose HPM’s Press Brake Forming Services?
We bridge the gap between prototype flexibility and production-grade repeatability, so when you partner with HPM for brake press forming, you're getting:
Extensive Tooling Library: Hundreds of standard and custom dies support U-, V-, and offset bends with minimal setup.
Precision at Scale: Our press brakes maintain ±0.005” repeatability even on large panels and long runs.
Engineering Support: We collaborate on DFM and New Product Introduction (NPI) to validate designs and avoid fit issues in assembly.
Integration with Other Processes: Forming is seamlessly integrated with our cutting, welding, and assembly services for efficient, turnkey production.
ISO 9001:2015 Certified Quality: Every bend is inspected and documented as part of our quality assurance process.
Press Brake Forming Applications & Expertise
Press brake forming is vital in building components that require tight angles and repeatable accuracy.
Common parts we form:
Enclosures and housings
Brackets and mounting frames
Panels and chassis
Architectural trims and assemblies
Energy-storage enclosures and server supports
We routinely work with steel, stainless, and aluminum up to 0.25” thick and can form parts up to 10′–14′ wide.
FAQs: Press Brake Forming Services Explained
-
A press brake uses a punch and die to bend sheet metal at a specific angle. At HPM, CNC controls and automated gauging ensure consistent, repeatable results across all bends.
-
We form steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other metals in a variety of gauges and lengths.
-
CNC brakes offer repeatability within thousandths of an inch and allow offline simulation, reducing setup time and eliminating guesswork.
-
Yes, our engineering team can review your prints for DFM feedback and simulate bends before production to validate fit and tolerances.
