Clamping system for a press brake comprising two internally interconnected cavities, press brake comprising such a clamping system, and method of manufacturing an elongate beam for such a clamping system

Abstract

A clamping system for a press brake includes an elongate beam having a receiving space for receiving a part of a bending tool. The elongate beam has at least two cavities formed therein, where each of the at least two cavities has an opening to the exterior of the elongate beam. The at least two cavities are interconnected internally. A press brake includes such a clamping system. A method of manufacturing an elongate beam for such a clamping system includes a step of providing a fluid connection to each of at least two cavities in the elongate beam by interconnecting the at least two cavities by machine from inside at least one of the at least two cavities.
