Description:
Y1 and Y2 axes are the core of modern press-brake accuracy.
They control the left and right cylinders independently, allowing the machine to correct deviations, maintain synchronization, and deliver higher bending precision.
Here’s why Y1/Y2 control matters—watch OSM explain it clearly.
Video Script:
Have you ever wondered what the Y1 and Y2 axes mean on a press brake?
These two axes control the independent movement of the left and right cylinders.
Instead of moving as one unit, Y1 and Y2 are controlled separately—
allowing the machine to correct angle deviations, improve accuracy, and keep every bend consistent.
With advanced CNC control, the press brake constantly monitors both axes,
ensuring synchronized motion even during large or uneven workpiece bending.
