Press brake operators form various parts, many of them complex. But then there are those few long-running jobs that require operators to bend one small, simple part after another—for hours on end.The order helps the company’s cash flow, but it certainly doesn’t help morale in the bending department. The job is still too small for building a tool and running it on a stamping press, so bending operators must resign themselves to stand or sit by a brake to form bracket after bracket. It’s not a fun way to spend one’s time.
