SHENCHONG 40T 1000MM CNC press brake machine is a typical small CNC hydraulic bending machine.
EL15T Control System | 4-Axis | Small High-Precision Sheet Metal Bending Solution
The WEK 40TX1000mm is a CNC hydraulic bending machine designed for processing small, precision, and short-sized sheet metal parts. The machine uses a nominal pressure of approximately 400 kN (40 tons) and a bending length of 1000 mm.
It is equipped with the SC EL15T CNC system, with a typical 4-axis configuration of Y1, Y2, X, and R, enabling simultaneous control of the slide block on both sides and front-back and vertical positioning of the back gauge.
Compared to large bending machines, the core value of this configuration lies not in its "large tonnage," but in its miniaturization, precise positioning, rapid changeover, lower investment costs, and adaptability to small workpieces and diverse production processes.
