- Components
A sheet follower serves as an auxiliary supporting device for press brakes. Compatible with any brand of press brake, it can support large sheet metal materials during bending, ensuring continuous and circular movement to prevent material sagging. This system significantly reduces labor requirements, distributes stress evenly across the sheet, and maintains high bending accuracy.
Applications
The sheet follower is ideal for handling elevator metal parts, aluminum curtain walls, and metal environmental protection equipment. It is also used in the production of large kitchen utensils and metal storage cabinets, supporting complex bending tasks.
Features
- Labor-Saving Efficiency
Enhances productivity by minimizing manual handling requirements. - Synchronized Operation
The follow-up device automatically adjusts with the bending cycle, synchronizing perfectly with the press brake to support the plate throughout the bending process. - Mobility and Flexibility
Features a floor-mounted structure that can be easily relocated as needed. - Advanced Control Systems
Equipped with an independent PLC and an electrical control system, integrating magnetic scale feedback for precise movement. - Servo Motor Technology: Utilizes a computer-controlled servo motor that forms a closed loop to ensure the accuracy of the follow-up action.

Working Principle
- Vertical Adjustment
Utilizes a servo motor that powers a pulley system to drive a screw rod. This action moves the slide vertically, aligning the upper surface of the follower flap with the upper plane of the press brake's lower die, accommodating various die heights. - Synchronization Mechanism
Another servo motor is mounted on the slide, which rotates a screw rod via a belt wheel. The screw rod features a longitudinal row of keyways with a latch installed at the upper dead center. The rotation of the screw translates into vertical movement along its own keyway under the latch's action, ensuring that the follower flap remains close to the metal plate throughout the bending process, providing synchronized support.
