The Front Sheet Follower Supports System is designed for CNC hydraulic press brakes that process long, heavy, or thin sheet metal parts. A pair of front supports is installed at the bending line height and moves together with the sheet during bending, helping the operator keep the workpiece stable throughout the forming process.

During bending, the supports are controlled by the CNC system and follow the sheet angle in synchronization with the ram movement. This reduces manual lifting effort, limits sheet sagging, and helps protect large panels from deformation, scratches, and sudden dropping during bending.

• Automatic bending follower supports for long and thin sheet metal parts.
• AP1 and AP2 CNC-controlled interpolated axes for synchronized sheet support.
• Recommended for heavy parts, large thin plates, cabinets, panels, and long workpieces.
• Supports bending angles as closed as approximately 70° depending on tooling and part geometry.
• Load capacity can reach up to 180 kg per support according to configuration.
• Brush table and support shaft sizes can be configured from 350 × 900 mm up to 1200 mm.
