Is a 100-ton press brake enough for your production?

The answer is: it depends. Here’s what it depends on:

Choosing the wrong press brake tonnage can lead to two costly scenarios:

❌ a machine that is too weak – risk of overload, faster tool wear, repeatability issues, and even damage to the press,
❌ a machine that is too large – unnecessarily higher investment costs, greater energy consumption, and capabilities that exceed the real needs of your facility.

Other important factors include:

🔹 material grade and tensile strength,
🔹 bending length,
🔹 die opening width,
🔹 bending method,
🔹 required bend radius and part geometry,
🔹 permissible load of the tooling and press beam.

What’s more, simply changing the die can significantly reduce the required bending force – but at the same time it can change the bend radius, minimum fl**ge length, and flat pattern of the part.

So how do you choose the right press brake tonnage?

In our latest Otinus article, we take you through the entire process step by step: from input data and the bending force formula, through die selection, to a practical calculation example and a checklist of parameters that should be verified before choosing a machine.

For the most demanding bending processes, there’s Delem DA-69T – an advanced press brake control system that allows you to plan, verify, and optimize production before the first bend is even made.

What does this mean in practice?
✅ full 3D programming and process visualization,
✅ STEP model import and program preparation based on the imported model,
✅ automatic tool selection and positioning,
✅ detection of potential collisions before production starts,
✅ support for 6 to 9 axes,
✅ offline program preparation without stopping the machine,
✅ ERP system integration and further production automation.

The result?
Shorter setup times. Lower risk of errors. Greater repeatability. More control over production.

The Delem DA-69T is designed for manufacturers handling complex parts and demanding projects, where setup time, precision, and process predictability have a direct impact on profitability.

Not every production environment needs such an advanced controller.

But if yours does, the DA-69T provides the capabilities to take the next step toward automating the entire bending process.

Watch the video and discover the capabilities of the Delem DA-69T.

One machine. Then another. Another laser cutter. And finally, a press brake.

That’s how the partnership between Otinus and Primario Grande – a manufacturer of garden, urban and patio furniture, as well as smart solutions – has developed over the past 3 years.

It all started with a meeting at a trade show and the purchase of a laser welding machine.

A laser cutting machine came next. As demand for Primario Grande products grew and the company needed to expand its production capacity, it invested in another laser cutter, followed by an Otinus press brake.

In the video, Adrian Rydzyński, Design Engineer at Primario Grande, highlights:

✅ good value for money,
✅ intuitive machine operation,
✅ easy onboarding of new operators,
✅ fast service support,
✅ the ability to resolve most day-to-day issues remotely.

For us, this is the best kind of recommendation – when a customer grows their production and chooses Otinus again for their next investments.

Watch the video and hear Adrian’s perspective on 3 years of working with Otinus.

The more complex the bending process, the more important everything that happens before the press makes its first move becomes.

The Delem DA-66T controller allows you to plan and verify the bending process before the operator starts production.

Graphical programming, part visualization, and 2D and 3D bending simulation help identify potential issues in advance and reduce the risk of costly mistakes.

In practice, this means:
✅ faster production preparation,
✅ fewer test bends and corrections,
✅ greater control over complex parts,
✅ support for 6 to 7 axes,
✅ shorter lead time from design to finished part.

DXF file import, offline programming, and automatic tool assignment further streamline workflows where production efficiency and flexibility matter.

The Delem DA-66T is designed for manufacturers that need more advanced programming capabilities, handle demanding projects, and want greater control over the entire bending process.

At Otinus, we are consistently strengthening our presence in the North American market.

One part of this strategy is partnering with companies that, like us, focus on modern technologies for the manufacturing industry.

Recently, Michał Obrzut visited the headquarters of our partner AIUT, where we discussed the next steps in developing our cooperation.

The big news?

Very soon, Otinus and AIUT will carry out a joint project at the Otinus showroom in Bloomingdale, near Chicago.

We’ll share more details soon — follow us to stay up to date.

Do you know how compressed air can reduce laser cutting costs?

Oxygen and nitrogen are the standard gases used in laser cutting. But they’re not always the most cost-effective solution.

When cutting thin and medium-thickness sheets, compressed air can provide high cutting speeds while significantly reducing process gas costs.

However, that doesn’t mean it’s the right choice for every job.

Key factors include:
🔹 material type and thickness,
🔹 required edge quality and cleanliness,
🔹 further processing of the part,
🔹 proper preparation of the compressed air.

In our latest Otinus blog article, we compare cutting with compressed air, nitrogen, and oxygen — not only in terms of cost, but also cutting speed, edge quality, and applications.

We also explain when compressed air can be the most economical choice — and when saving on process gas simply isn’t worth it.

If you already use a laser cutting machine or are planning to invest in one, it’s worth understanding the differences.

Read the full article and find out when it makes sense to use compressed air for laser cutting.
