We have covered a few examples of parts that lend themselves to production on a panel bender rather than a traditional press brake. There are many arguments for one machine or the other, so it is a good idea to take a look at the catalog of parts your shop creates on a daily basis, and analytically consider how many of your parts could be produced more efficiently with a new process. The world of folding machines, much like press brakes, is forever evolving and you may find you have a perfect application to justify a panel bender in your fabrication shop.
