FAQ

As a 4 Aisx CNC press brake supplier, DXTECH is committed to providing excellent service and support! If you have any questions before purchasing, please feel free to leave us a message.

1. What do the four axes in a 4-axis CNC press brake refer to?

A 4-axis CNC press brake typically includes the following four control axes:

Y1 axis: Controls the left hydraulic cylinder movement
Y2 axis: Controls the right hydraulic cylinder movement
X axis: Controls the backgauge forward and backward movement
R axis: Controls the backgauge up and down movement

Among them, the Y1 and Y2 axes control synchronized ram movement to ensure bending accuracy, while the X and R axes enable precise backgauge positioning to improve part dimensional consistency. Through multi-axis coordination, the machine can achieve high-precision bending of complex workpieces.

2. What is the difference between a 4 axis and a 4+1 axis CNC press brake?

A 4+1 axis system adds a V (crowning) axis to the standard 4-axis configuration, enabling automatic deflection compensation and improving machining accuracy and consistency, especially for long workpieces.

The 4-axis system focuses on basic precision control, while the 4+1 axis system further enhances accuracy and stability through automatic crowning compensation, making it more suitable for large-scale and high-precision bending applications.

3. Can a 4 axis CNC press brake handle complex bending shapes?

Yes. The 4-axis CNC press brake supports multi-step programming and is capable of producing complex sheet metal bending shapes with high precision.

4. Can a 4 axis CNC press brake run stable for long-term production?

Yes. The hydraulic and CNC systems of the 4 axis CNC press brake are well engineered to meet continuous industrial production demands. The machine operates with high stability and reliability, features a low failure rate, and is suitable for long-term, high-intensity processing conditions.
