In theory, 160 Tons 3200MM press brake can bend mild steel sheet plate maximum thickness 7mm and maximum length 2500mm. However, because usually people do not buy 7mm thickness plate, most customers buy 160T 3200MM press brake machine to bend 6mm thickness 320mm length mild steel or bend 4mm thickness 3200mm stainless steel plate.

 

160 Tons 4000 MM Press Brake

When bend the 6mm thickness mild steel, customers need to choose the 60mm notch press brake lower die. 160T/4000mm press brake can bend stainless steel sheet up to thickness 3mm and length 4000mm.

 

160 Tons 6000 MM Press Brake

Although I list 160 Tons 6000MM as the standard press brake model, actually not many customers need to buy this model. Customers who want to buy 160T6000mm most use this press brake to bend thin poles. 160T x 6000mm can bend mild steel sheet plate maximum thickness 3mm and maximum length 6000mm. When bend the 3mm thickness mild steel, customers need to choose the 24mm notch press brake lower die. 160T/6000mm press brake can bend stainless steel sheet up to thickness 1.5mm and length 6000mm.

As the above picture shown, Shenchong standard 160T press brake lower die has different notches that can cover general bending from 160T2500mm to 160T6000mm. This is the square press brake lower die that match with the wide bending table, and this kind of lower die can satisfy most of the bending requirements. However, if customers need to bend high precision workpieces or workpieces may impact with the bending table, then customers should contact with press brake manufacturer to produce narrow bending table and customize single/double V lower dies.

2. 160 Tons Press Brake Machine Type Recommendation


160Tons WEK Electrical Hydraulic Press Brake

WEK electrical hydraulic press brake is the most popular cnc press brake machine type in the current market. 160 Tons is a very common machine model that customers high frequency using and so they should purchase high stable press brake. In this case, we recommend customers to choose cnc press brake rather than NC press brake. For the more detailed differences between them, you can check our article: Differences: NC VS CNC Press Brake Machines [How to Choose].

 

160Tons WDK Hybrid Servo Press Brake

For customers who have higher bending precision requirements, we recommend them to choose WDK hybrid servo press brake series. WDK 160T2500MM, WDK 160T/3200MM, WDK 160T4000MM, these three press brake machine models are highly used everyday and so if customers want to save energy, lower cost and improve production, electric hybrid servo press brake is a better choice than electrical hydraulic press brake. Also if you buy 160T/6000MM press brake and need to use it 8 hours per day, you should definitely consider hybrid press brake as well.


160 Tons Robotic Press Brake

Those customers who need to produce Large batch of workpieces and do not have many different workpieces types, we highly recommend them to consider robotic press brake. To match with 160Tons press brake, customers do not need to choose a very large bending robot because the plate weight would not super heavy, and usually 200kg ABB robot can meet the needs. Based on the specific workpiece drawings, smaller robots may also fit the bending requirements.
