Press Brake Electrical Requirements
Connect the production requirement to the right machine family, exact configuration, facility plan, delivery scope, ownership path, and technical resources.
Use the exact machine electrical schedule
Press-brake electrical requirements depend on hydraulic-pump motor size, servo or variable-speed package, controller, Y1/Y2 valves and scales, backgauge axes, crowning, guarding, oil cooling, transformer and optional equipment.
Facility information required
- Measured voltage, phase and frequency at the intended location.
- Available amperage, panel capacity, breaker space, disconnect and conductor distance.
- Grounding method, neutral requirement when applicable and voltage stability.
- Any light curtain, laser guard, compressor, oil cooler, tooling or automation loads.
Machine information required
The build sheet should identify input voltage, phase, frequency, motor ratings, control voltage, full-load current, recommended breaker and disconnect, transformer requirement, cable entry and grounding. A generic tonnage or working-length value is not enough.
Voltage conversion
When the facility voltage differs from the machine input, use an industrial transformer sized from the verified connected load and startup behavior with appropriate margin. Confirm primary and secondary voltage, kVA, enclosure, taps, protection, grounding, neutral and location.
A licensed electrician must review the final machine documents, conductor size, overcurrent protection and local code before connection.
Planning pathway
Connect the requirement to the complete machine project
Machine and facility
Compare configuration, controller, options, utilities, extraction, footprint, access, unloading, and placement.
Ownership and support
Confirm price path, delivery, startup, training, warranty, service, parts, financing, rental, used, or trade-in options.
