Backgauge Options for Press Brakes

The backgauge is the positioning reference for your flange length. Selecting the right axis configuration improves accuracy, reduces setup time, and increases consistency in repeat production.

Contact Us 2-Axis 4-Axis 6–8 Axis
Quick Guide — Choose by Part & Production Needs

2-Axis (X, R)

For standard bends and fast setup. Ideal for common parts and cost-sensitive projects.

4-Axis (X, R, Z1, Z2)

More flexibility for wide parts and finger positioning. Recommended for varied jobs.

6–8 Axis

For complex parts and repeat production where speed and consistency matter most.

Backgauge & Control System — Best Fit Matters

The backgauge axes must match the controller capability. For 2-Axis setups, NC controllers are typically sufficient. For 4-Axis and 6–8 Axis configurations, we recommend Touch CNC controllers (2D/3D) for faster programming and stable repeat production.

Recommended Control Matching

Use this as a quick selection reference. We can configure DELEM / CYBELEC / ESA (CNC) or entry-level NC controllers based on your required axes.

Backgauge Axes ↔ Controller Recommendation

2-Axis Backgauge

Recommended Control: NC (Entry)

Good fit with TP10 / ESTUN E21 for standard bending work.

4-Axis Backgauge

Recommended Control: Touch CNC (Standard)

Suggested: DELEM DA53T / DA58T or CYBELEC CybTouch 8/12.

6–8 Axis Backgauge

Recommended Control: Advanced CNC (Advanced)

Suggested: DELEM DA66T, CYBELEC VisiTouch, or ESA S650W/S875W.
