Table assembly for press brake system

A table assembly for a press brake system, comprising:

• a base comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, and a slot extending from the top surface to the bottom surface, wherein the base is configured to support a workpiece of the press brake system;
• a clamp coupled to a bearing below the slot configured to couple to the base, wherein the clamp is configured to translate in a first direction away from a backgauge of the press brake system, and the clamp translates in a second direction, via an elastic member, opposite the first direction, toward the backgauge to abut the workpiece of the press brake system against the backgauge;
• and
• a weight balancing system coupled to the clamp via a tension member connected to the bearing and configured to apply a force onto the clamp in the first direction to facilitate translation of the clamp in the first direction.

A table assembly for a press brake system, comprising:

• a base;
• an elastic biasing member;
• a clamp configured to translate in a first direction and in a second direction, opposite the first direction, relative to the base, wherein the biasing member is coupled to a bearing below the base aligned with a slot and the bearing is configured to bias the clamp in the second direction;
• and
• a weight balancing system coupled to the clamp via the bearing through a tension member and configured to apply a force to the clamp in the first direction.
