The Baileigh Hydraulic Sheet Metal Press Brake BP-5060NC is a precision-engineered hydraulic press brake built for fabricators who demand consistent, repeatable bends across a full production run. Three selectable operating modes - jog, manual, and automatic - give operators complete control from initial setup through full-speed production, while dual encoder-controlled hydraulic cylinders and digital readouts keep every bend dialed in with exacting accuracy.

Key Features

• Runs in 3 modes: jog mode for setup, manual mode for more control over descent and return, and automatic mode for full production
• 2 encoder-controlled hydraulic cylinders move the top beam for synchronized, accurate strokes
• Digital readout (DRO) displays the position of the downward stroke, so you can fine-tune a bend and make it right every time
• It takes just a few seconds to change the top beam pressure and the top position of the stroke (for more or less travel)
• You can set a timer for bend delay to hold the beam down at the bottom of the stroke, so the bend keeps its shape
• 2 hand wheels let you adjust the position of the beam and back gauge for consistency across the entire width of the beam
• Foot pedal brings the stroke up and down, leaving your hands free to position the material
• Motorized back gauge rides on a solid ball screw trolley mechanism for reliable, repeatable positioning
• Back gauge encoder shows its position on its own dedicated DRO
• Parallel mechanism on the beam synchronizes the top and bottom die to deliver better quality bends across the entire width of the machine

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the three operating modes on the BP-5060NC and when should each be used?

The BP-5060NC runs in jog mode for initial setup and testing positions, manual mode when you want more direct control over the descent and return of the beam, and automatic mode when you are running full production and need the machine to cycle efficiently without interruption.

How does the back gauge positioning system work on this press brake?

The motorized back gauge rides on a solid ball screw trolley mechanism, which provides precise and repeatable movement. Its position is tracked by a dedicated encoder and displayed on its own digital readout (DRO), so you always know exactly where the back gauge is set.

What is the bend delay timer and why is it useful?

The bend delay timer allows you to set a hold time that keeps the top beam pressed down at the bottom of the stroke for a defined period. This dwell time at the bottom allows the material to fully conform to the die angle, helping the bend retain its shape and reducing springback in the finished part.

How do the encoder-controlled hydraulic cylinders improve bend quality?

The two encoder-controlled hydraulic cylinders work in tandem with the parallel mechanism on the beam to synchronize the top and bottom die throughout the stroke. This synchronization ensures that pressure and positioning are consistent across the entire width of the machine, delivering better quality bends whether you are working at the center or the edges of the tooling.
