Brake Partner™

This solution makes it possible to use new or existing punch press tooling in the press brake to produce holes and forms that would otherwise need to be made in a punch press. Brake Partner™ offers shops the capability to perform punch press operations in-house, even when no punching machine is available, and/or, to further expand the capabilities of their existing press brakes.
 
The tooling holder, which is manufactured to fit in virtually any press brake, features spring pads to absorb impact and can be used with or without guide posts, depending on the application.
 
Brake Partner is especially helpful for fabricators who have migrated away from punch presses to laser cutting machines, or those whose punch presses are running at full capacity. The solution allows shops to greatly expand the capabilities of their existing press brakes, thereby saving on the cost of a new machine, or outsourcing punching applications.
 
This innovative solution can help lower costs and reduce lead times due to the streamlining of equipment and machine flexibility it offers fabricators.
