The principle behind a pan brake is quite simple in that its purpose is to bend sheet metal to a required angle. However, the means of doing that can be quite complex depending on the material being processed and the shape of the required output.
Some machines are designed to produce simple bends while box and pan brakes can output much more complicated shapes. To do this accurately and consistently, the material to be bent has to be held firmly in place with a clamp, which may be operated manually by foot pedal or other controls, or automatically. The effectiveness of this clamping action is crucial to the accurate operation of the equipment and a magnetic pan brake will deliver the most accurate and consistent results.
The material to be bent is placed on a hinged, flat surface and held in place by the clamping bar that provides the straight edge against which the metal is bent. Traditionally, the clamping bar has several removable blocks that provide finger depths which are adjustable for different applications. Magnetic versions, however, are not limited by finger depths and so are much more flexible in use.
In effect, a magnetic pan brake provides several benefits over a conventional version, which include:
A magnetic pan brake has the flexibility to be used in place of several other machines in a workshop, potentially avoiding unnecessary capital investment, saving valuable space and opening up numerous work possibilities. It can handle several types and thicknesses of materials, creating complex bends and shapes for the most challenging of jobs. With the right choice of machine you can handle almost any metalworking project, whether small and complicated or a long production run, confident that everything will turn out as required thanks to the rigidity that the magnetic clamping bar provides.
