A compact hydraulic press-brake style bender for V-bends, U-bends, flanging, and flattening of sheet/flat bar. A hydraulic cylinder pushes a punch into a V-die; feed depth (or pressure) sets the bend angle. Ideal for learning Pascal’s law, bend mechanics, spring-back, and safe hydraulics.

Parts Used:

1. Frame (C/H-frame with throat) – Rigid welded structure with die table and guides
2. Hydraulic Cylinder – 10–20 ton single- or double-acting, 100–150 mm stroke
3. Power Pack – Electric motor (0.75–1.5 kW), gear pump (6–10 L/min), reservoir, suction/return filters
4. Valves – 4/3 directional valve, pressure relief, check valve, flow control (down speed)
5. Gauges & Sensors – Pressure gauge; optional linear scale/limit switches for stroke depth
6. Tooling – Interchangeable V-dies (V=6t–12t), punches (nose radius = 0.8–1.5 t); flattening plates
7. Back Gauge – Manual screw/scale stop for bend position repeatability
8. Guides & Wear Strips – Keep punch vertical and prevent side play
9. Controls & Safety – Start/Stop, E-stop, two-hand/foot pedal, guards, drip tray, oil sight/return line
10. Accessories – LED work light, angle protractor, set-up blocks
