Start with
Compare WAD & WADEWhat separates the route
Compare controller workflow, positioning axes and each series’ published model table.
Defined, straightforward bending work
Start with
NC press brakeWhat separates the route
Torsion-bar synchronization with positioning and tooling matched to the bend plan.
A servo-electric production cycle
Start with
Electric press brakeWhat separates the route
Check the required force, stroke, drive duty and tooling against the WADG model.
Long workpieces or a demanding load case
What separates the route
Tandem coordinates matched hosts; a large press brake uses a single heavy-duty machine. Compare length, load, support and installation.
Automated loading, regripping and bending
Start with
Robotic bending cellWhat separates the route
The press brake, robot, handling stations and recovery sequence form one engineered cell.
These routes can overlap. Final selection follows part geometry, material, calculated force, tooling and the complete working envelope.

Detailed selection checklist
Selection factor
What to provide
How it changes the route
Selection factor
Bend length and part envelope
What to provide
Maximum bend length, flange and box geometry, bend sequence, part weight, stroke/open-height needs and support points.
How it changes the route
Use one exact NC, WAD, WADE or Electric model only when its published envelope fits; review Tandem or Large for long or higher-load work.
Selection factor
Material and force
What to provide
Material grade and strength, thickness range, bend length, bending method, die opening and calculated force or line load.
How it changes the route
Select from the exact model row and tooling limits; use the Large route when frame, force, compensation, foundation and handling require a project specification.
Selection factor
Control and positioning
What to provide
Programming workflow, bend sequence, ram feedback, backgauge axes, crowning or angle control and data connections.
How it changes the route
NC covers defined torsion-bar work; WAD and WADE are separate CNC series and must be compared by controller, axes, tooling, safeguarding and acceptance.
Selection factor
Tooling and compensation
What to provide
Punch and die profiles, clamping, allowable line load, crowning method, changeover and tool-clearance checks.
How it changes the route
Confirm ordered tooling with the selected host; Tandem, Large and Cell tooling must be scoped with supports, interfaces and sample validation.
Selection factor
Handling and part support
What to provide
Part weight, rotation or regripping, front or follower support, loading/unloading, operator tasks and floor access.
How it changes the route
Standalone support may suit NC, CNC or Electric; Tandem, Large or Bending Cell needs the full handling and recovery path defined.
Selection factor
Automation and duty
What to provide
Part mix, batch size, output target, changeover, duty cycle, staffing and upstream/downstream handoffs.
How it changes the route
Electric fits only a verified servo-electric duty; Bending Cell fits a repeatable automated part family; neither follows from headline speed alone.
Selection factor
Acceptance and project boundary
What to provide
Representative part, angle/dimensional method, production window, guarding, training, installation and destination requirements.
How it changes the route
Record the exact model, options, exclusions and sample checks in the quotation; Tandem and Cell remain project-system specifications.
Cabinets, trays and enclosures
Brackets and mixed small batches
