Best for
Reliable workpiece positioning at the backgauge
Press Brake Upgrade
Backgauge Fingers
Finger geometry and adjustment determine where the workpiece locates. Match contact surfaces, X/R/Z movement, tooling clearance and bend sequence.
Compare
Standard, adjustable and multi-point fingers
Confirm
Part contact, axes, travel and collision clearance
Information Needed
Start With the Part Contact and Backgauge Movement
Describe flange geometry, openings, edge condition, bend sequence and positioning issue.
01 / CONTACT
Contact point
Use the part edge, openings and bend sequence to define where the finger locates the workpiece.
02 / ADJUST
Adjustment
Use micro-adjustment, dual stops or independent positions only when the part requires them.
03 / CLEARANCE
Clearance
Check finger mount, X/R/Z travel, tooling, part rotation and collision envelope.
Stop-finger options
Compare Contact and Adjustment Methods
Standard Backgauge Finger
Match the contact geometry and mounting to the part and backgauge. Check travel and clearance.
Adjustable Positioning Finger
Choose the adjustment range for the positioning task, then check mounting and clearance.
Multi-Point Positioning
Use multiple contact points where the part requires them. Check available axes and collision clearance.
Before You Order
Separate Part Location From Sheet Support
Backgauge fingers locate the part; sheet supports carry or follow it. Specify the two functions separately.
- Flange geometry and contact surface
- Backgauge axes, travel and mounting
- Fine adjustment, dual stops and part rotation
- Tooling clearance and positioning test
Upgrade path
Plan Your Machine Upgrade
Identify the production problem, check compatibility, then agree installation and acceptance.
STEP 01
Document the current state
Record machine, controller, interfaces, photos, workflow and the production issue to solve.
STEP 02
Define the requirement
Connect workpieces, process, operator tasks, output and site conditions to the upgrade.
STEP 03
Confirm compatibility
Review mechanical, electrical, control, software, safety and service interfaces.
STEP 04
Agree the scope
Define installation, tests, acceptance, documentation, training and support responsibilities.
Before You Contact ADH
Stop-Finger Questions
Compatibility depends on beam, axes, mounting, contact surface and positioning task.
Can backgauge fingers be upgraded on an existing machine?
Check beam, mount, axes, travel, workpiece contact and collision envelope.
What information should I send?
Send machine/backgauge model, mount photos, drawings, flange geometry, bend sequence and positioning issue.
What determines compatibility?
Compare beam, carriage, finger interface, travel, part geometry, collision zones and positioning test.
What should the quotation clarify?
Name finger type, hardware, mounting, axis implications, installation, tests and service terms.
