Backgauge

Backgauge

A backgauge is a mechanical system, normally attached to a Brake press. Its main function is to interface with the Brake press CNC Control, moving along several different axes in order to position a piece of metal for forming.

Backgauges typically have anywhere from 1 to 7 axes of movement. Each of these individual axis is controlled by a separate Electric motor. Often a Brake press is sold to a customer in conjunction with a backgauge.
