Bending Follower Supports

We are proud to release the new Raymax electric sheet metal follow-up lifting system for press brakes, which is fully controlled by CNC numerical control system. Raymax’s newly designed automatic support device is specially designed for sheet metal support during bending operations. Its double interpolation axis configuration ensures that the device closely follows the workpiece during the bending process, which significantly reduces the risk of sheet metal scratches and reverse bending, greatly easing the operator’s workflow.

Driven Front Support

Bending Follower Supports: the perfect solution for heavy parts or large thin sheets!

RAYMAX hydraulic machine brakes are equipped with an advanced sheet bending follower supports system, focused on bending long, thin or heavy sheets with high bending accuracy and ease of use.

Why Choose Our Bending Follower Supports?

  • Automated operation: Seamless bending is achieved with CNC interpolation axes (AP1-AP2).
  • Ideal for heavy parts: Suitable for heavy parts or large thin sheets
  • Flexible bending angles: Achieve bends up to 70° closure
  • High load capacity: Load capacity of each support is 180 kg
  • Flexible size: Brush and support shaft sizes range from 350×900 to 1200 mm.

Bending Follower Features

As shown: A very large, heavy, thin sheet can bend in reverse during the bending operation due to the torque generated by the overhang. Our sheet lifters provide the necessary support throughout the bending cycle, preventing damage and ensuring a perfect job result.

  • CNC Precision: AP1 – AP2 CNC-controlled interpolated axes
  • Lightweight & Mobile: Light solution, easy to move
  • Fully Adjustable: Adjustable according to the size of the workpiece
  • Enhanced Ergonomics: Reduces physical strain and operator risk
  • Durable Protection: Protection from counterbends and scratches
  • Tight Bends: Bend sheet metal as tightly as 70°
  • Flexible R-Axis: Adjustable -30/+170 mm with support for dies up to 160 mm opening
  • Expandable Support: Brush and support shaft sizes (350×900 mm), extendable up to 1200 mm
  • Smart Safety Controls: Active or inactive modes that can be controlled directly on the sheet follower to avoid any safety risks (LED light located on the sheet follower)
