Standard Sharp Nose Tool

Each Erbend MFB CNC apron press brake comes with a 20 ° Sharp Nose tool , designed to deliver precise and clean bends on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
This versatile tool is ideal for producing straight or complex profiles, with a maximum capacity of 3 mm in mild steel (depending on the model).

Advantages of the Sharp Nose tool

  • Versatility : suitable for simple, complex and multi-step folding.

  • Consistent precision : geometry optimized to reduce elastic return.

  • Durability : High-strength hardened steel for a long service life.

  • Compatibility : Works with ErFold CNC programs for standard or multi-radius bending.

Optional manual crowning system on Erbend apron folder

Manual crowning system

The Erbend manual crowning system ensures straight and precise bends, even on long, thin sheets.
By simply adjusting the crowning between 25% and 100% compensation , the operator eliminates the "banana" effect and guarantees consistent quality along the entire length.
This simple, robust, and maintenance-free mechanism maximizes the precision of the Erbend MFB CNC apron press brake .
