Selecting press brake tooling from Zhongrui requires matching to material and design requirements. First, determine material thickness and type: mild steel up to 6mm uses standard tooling, while stainless steel or thick plates (≥10mm) need hardened steel tools (HRC 55-60). Choose punch and die based on bend radius—V-die width should be 8-10x material thickness for optimal results. For acute angles (<90°), use gooseneck punches, while round dies suit radiused bends. Consider tooling style: quick-change systems (e.g., Wilson or European standards) enhance efficiency, while special tools like flanging dies or embossing tools address unique features. Zhongrui's tooling experts provide guidance on material-specific coatings (TiN for wear resistance, PTFE for non-stick) and custom tool design for complex profiles, ensuring optimal bending performance.
