Introduction

Axes’ Orientation
The axes’ orientation is best observed from the front of the press brake as
shown below. The X-axis positions the gauge bar for the desired flange
lengths. The Y-axis controls the stopping point of the press brake’s ram
for the desired bend to occur. For hydraulic downacting press brakes, the
Y-axis can also control the ram’s opening height and speed change point.
