How many axes does the bending machine need?

The Y axis is critical to all press brake operations, while the X and Z axes are important to ensure accurate parts and repeatable results. The R-axis is necessary when bending at multiple angles or forming complex shapes, while the V-axis provides a higher level of quality control.

Therefore, the number of axes required for a bending machine depends on the level of precision required to produce sheet metal parts with tight tolerances. The more axes you have, the more accurate and repeatable your work will be.
