CNC controls, axes and backgauge systems
How control platforms, axis packages and backgauge configurations change what a press brake can produce, and how to specify them.
What this topic covers
These guides are editorial selection references. Tables, worked examples and troubleshooting lists describe methods, not GWMT machine ratings, availability or certified performance.

Butée arrière de presse plieuse : types, axes, étalonnage et dépannage
The back gauge decides where every bend line lands on the sheet. This guide covers the mechanical construction of a back gauge, the manual, NC, CNC and servo types, what the X, R, Z, X1-X2 and R1-R2 axes each control, positioning accuracy and repeatability figures, a step-by-step calibration method, a fault troubleshooting table, a maintenance schedule by frequency, and how to choose a configuration for different production work.
Choisir 3, 4 ou 6 axes selon vos pièces
Regardez au-delà du nombre d'axes : position de la jauge, séquence de pliage et fréquence de configuration déterminer quels mouvements doivent être contrôlés.
Types de systèmes de commande CNC : mouvement, boucle de commande et axes
The CNC control system is the brain of a press brake and directly determines bending accuracy, repeatability and efficiency. This guide explains the five core components of a CNC control system, classifies systems by motion type, control loop and axis count, sets out what Y1/Y2, X, R, Z1/Z2 and crowning compensation each do on a press brake, explains why closed-loop control is close to mandatory for bending, and gives a question order for specification along with a type comparison table.
