The hydraulic system of press brakes must meet a wide range of requirements in terms of machine productivity, machine accuracy and machine safety. During the bending process, six phases with different functions are run through.

What does such a bending cycle look like in detail and what are the resulting requirements for the hydraulic system? In the fifth episode of the HAWE Tech Podcast, Peter, Sales Engineer at HAWE, and Martin, Key Market Manager for Forming Machines, talk about this bending cycle and explain the processes involved.
