Press brake back gauge fingers are very important parts for sheet metal bending machines.It depends the bending flange height and precision.
The backgauge finers of a bending machine is a device used in sheet metal processing to position and support the metal sheets to be processed. Its primary function is to precisely position the rear edge of the metal sheet during the bending process, ensuring the accuracy of the bending angle and position. The stop fingers can be adjusted as needed to accommodate different sizes and shapes of sheets. It usually consists of one or more adjustable stops that can be precisely positioned through mechanical or electronic control systems.
The backgauge finger plays a crucial role in the sheet metal processing as it enhances processing efficiency and accuracy, reduces human error, and ensures production consistency. In modern CNC bending machines, the back gauge finger is often manual. But it can also be automated and can be precisely controlled through programming, significantly improving production efficiency and processing quality.
if your press brake doesnot have R axis ,choose this finger is a good choice.As this type of fingers can move up and down manually.
Flat Backgauge Fingers
Delta X fingers.
The following fingers also called Delta X finger.It is a useful feature when bending asymmetrical workpieces.
Sensor Fingers.
The backgauge It can measure the material thickness with sensor on the finger.
Craw Claw Fingers
This is a special finger also called u shape fingers.
