Information to Help You Order the Right Tooling
Use the categories below to review the information most customers need before ordering. For a project-specific recommendation, send us your drawing, machine interface and bending requirements.
Quotation & Customization
01What information is needed to get a quote for press brake molds?
To receive an accurate quotation for press brake molds, please provide details including workpiece material type, metal thickness, bending length, required bending angle and forming shape. Drawings or physical samples will greatly help us work out the best solution for your press brake tooling.
02Can you make custom press brake molds from drawings or samples?
Yes. We specialize in non-standard custom press brake tooling. We can manufacture custom bending molds strictly according to your technical drawings or physical samples to meet your special bending requirements.
03What is the lead time for press brake molds?
For in-stock standard press brake molds, delivery takes around 3 working days. For custom non-stock bending tooling, production lead time is 15-45 working days, which depends on order quantity and mold complexity.
Tooling, Materials & Compatibility
04What are press brake molds used for?
Press brake molds (press brake tooling) are working tools for press brake machines. They bend and form metal sheets and plates into different angles, profiles and curved shapes in metal fabrication work.
05Are your press brake molds compatible with other brand press brake machines?
Our press brake tooling is fully compatible with mainstream press brake brands: AMADA, TRUMPF, BYSTRONIC, LVD and more. We can also customize special connection structures and mounting sizes to fit your existing bending machine.
06What materials do you usually use to manufacture press brake molds?
We typically adopt high-strength alloy steels like 42CrMo for press brake mold production. Material selection can be adjusted based on your actual application scenarios to guarantee excellent wear resistance, durability and extended service life of the bending molds.
07What main types of press brake tooling are available?
Common press brake mold types are listed below: • Punch: for pressing workpieces. Punches can be flat, conical or angled to match different bending requirements. • V-die: forms metal into V-shapes. V-opening sizes are selected according to workpiece material thickness. • Rolling edge mold: special tool for rolling edges and folding on metal sheets. • Acute angle mold: designed for bending angles below 90 degrees. • Offset mold: produces offset bends on different planes. • Radius mold: for curve bending and large-radius forming.
08Apart from press brake molds, what other related products can you supply?
We also provide press brake adapters, scratch-free bending protection films, press brake tooling storage cabinets and other supporting accessories.
Production, Packing & Technical Support
09How long does it take to manufacture custom press brake tooling?
Production time for press brake tooling is determined by mold design complexity and processing requirements. Lead time generally ranges from several days to multiple weeks for custom bending molds.
10How are press brake molds packaged for shipment?
We adopt wooden cases or steel-frame reinforced packaging for press brake molds. This robust packaging protects bending molds against damage during transit for safe delivery to customers.
11Can you offer technical support and mold-selection advice?
Absolutely. Our technical team provides mold-selection recommendations, bending solutions and technical guidance according to your actual processing requirements. Feel free to reach out to us anytime.
12What should I do if my press brake tool gets cracked or damaged?
Please stop using the damaged press brake tool immediately and contact us for assistance. Self-repair is highly dangerous and may lead to further mold damage or safety risks.
13What is the press brake tool manufacturing process at LEK Machinery?
At LEK Machinery, press brake tool production covers around 30 procedures, ranging from raw material inspection, milling, hardening, grinding to full-range quality control. Strict manufacturing standards are implemented throughout every production stage to deliver high-quality press brake tooling and reliable quality assurance for customers.
Ordering & Quality Verification
14How can I order press brake molds from LEK Machinery?
