Large Press Brakes for Shipbuilding and Offshore Manufacturing.

Shipyards and offshore manufacturers often need to form extremely large steel components using large-radius bending and bump forming rather than conventional 90-degree bends. 

These applications require long machine beds, large tooling capacity and accurate control of the bending process across the entire component. 

Ursviken designs large press brakes for shipbuilding, offshore and other heavy fabrication applications where standard machines cannot provide the required scale. 

Extreme Bending. Precisely Controlled. 

Accurate Large-Radius Bending.

Bump forming requires a series of controlled bends along a component. Small inaccuracies can accumulate over the length of the part. 

FlexiCrown provides controlled compensation across the bending length, helping maintain consistent forming results. 

VDT provides flexibility for large-radius tooling and applications requiring different forming configurations. 

Key Technologies.

Long Press Brake Beds 

Allow very large components to be processed in a single machine. Ursviken has experience designing press brakes with extremely long frames, including single-frame machines with over 20 meters of bending length. 

FlexiCrown 

Provides controlled compensation across the full bending length. 

Variable Die Tool (VDT) 

Provides flexibility for large-radius tooling and complex forming. 

CNC Back and Front Gauges 

Provides accurate positioning throughout the forming process. 

Large-Scale Bending Without Compromise.

When components become too large for conventional press brakes, the machine itself needs to be engineered around the application. 

Ursviken specializes in large, customized press brakes designed around the customer’s component dimensions, forming process, tooling and material handling requirements.
