Press Brake Forming

A press brake is a standard piece of equipment, found in any custom fabrication shop, used to bend sheet metal. At Openex Metal Fabrication, our team and state-of-the-art hydraulic presses take our press brake forming service to the highest quality level. At the foundation are heavy-duty CNC press brakes with computer-controlled backgauges and brake force pressuring. Our engineers and designers can program the exact placement, bend angle, and brake force required to form complex radius, convex, concave, conical metal panels, and parts; each metal type and thickness demands a unique approach. Our highly-skilled operators use custom gauges and other measuring devices to deliver the desired shape and final metal forming specification. Openex has several press brakes, with the largest being a 15 meters with 3000 tons of force.

What Makes Us Different

Openex features one of the largest single ram press brakes in the world. At 3000 tons and 15m long, we are able to press brake forming long parts at a variety of angles and shapes. And the thickness can be up to 100mm. We are able to customize tooling for specific radii. We have partnered with industry leaders, using our unique forming capabilities to engineer solutions to long-forming challenges.
