Press Brake Flattening Tool for Sheet Metal Forming

This press brake flattening tool is a special tooling solution designed for flattening and forming pre-bent sheet metal components.

The forming process requires two steps:

1. The sheet metal is initially bent to a specific angle, such as 26°, 28° or 30°, using a suitable press brake punch and die.
2. The pre-bent section is then placed into this flattening tool and pressed to complete the final flattening operation.

Through this secondary forming process, the bent section is compressed and flattened, creating the required final profile while increasing the local material thickness effect.

Special Flattening Process for Press Brake Applications

Unlike standard bending tools, flattening tools are designed for secondary forming operations after the initial bend has already been created.

This process is commonly used when a conventional bending operation cannot directly achieve the required shape or when additional reinforcement, flatness or profile accuracy is required.

The flattening tool provides:

• Controlled secondary forming
• Improved profile consistency
• Reduced deformation after bending
• Customized solutions for special sheet metal structures

The tool shown is equipped with a plug-in lower die structure, providing convenient installation and replacement.

Typical Applications

Press brake flattening tools are used in applications where a flat reinforced profile or special formed edge is required after bending.

Typical applications include:

• Sheet metal reinforcement forming
• Special profile bending
• Cabinet and enclosure components
• Industrial equipment panels
• Customized sheet metal structures
• Components requiring secondary flattening after bending

The tool is especially suitable for manufacturers producing customized sheet metal parts where standard press brake tooling cannot complete the final geometry directly.
