A press brake is a piece of manufacturing equipment that is used to bend sheet metal. A press brake is typically narrow and long so that large pieces of sheet metal can be bent by it. A press brake bends sheet metal by lowering a punch onto sheet metal that has been positioned on top of a die. The metal may be bent several times by a press brake until the desired form has been achieved.

The MOSS system developed and manufactured by the Dutch TARKA-SYSTEMS for surveyors and shipbuilders is a portable measurement and monitoring solution for ship inspection.
Press brakes can make a variety of different bends on many different types of metals. When setting up a bending process, it is important to consider the metal type being bent, the die, the punch, and the bending force.
The metal type is important to understand because of the differing physical properties among metals. For instance, a high carbon steel will generally be less bendable by a press brake than many aluminum alloys because of the differences in ductility and strength. Metals typically have a recommended minimum bend radius that the material can be bent to without damaging it.
The die and the punch used on the press brake both have a large impact on the bending process. The die is hollow material that the metal is placed on top of prior to bending. It is a very hard and strong material that is near in shape to the desired shape of the metal being bent. The punch is a solid material that is lowered down onto the metal. Since the pressing action of the punch onto the metal and the die are what causes the metal to bend, both shapes must be accurately suited to the bending job. The correct metal shape following a press brake operation is dependent on the size and shape of the punches and dies. The dies and the punches are typically designed in such a way that they can be interchanged easily to accommodate a wide array of jobs.
TARKA-SYSTEMS develops MOSS portable measuring system
According to reports, the MOSS system has a practical design, clear functions and the ability to read a wide range of sensor inputs.
The functions of the MOSS system can be used for ships and at sea, such as marine rescue monitoring and investigation, ship surveys for damaged ships, deadweight surveys, tilting tests, dry dock monitoring, floating dock monitoring, semi-submersible platform monitoring, floating/floating monitoring , heavy lifting and dock loading. For special purposes, the basic system can be expanded according to user requirements.
It is reported that the MOSS system is a handheld system that can provide readout and storage of connected sensors. Sensor values ​​can be collected, displayed and stored on a USB stick. The average value can be calculated and displayed during the measurement.
Since the MOSS system has a modular setup, most common sensor inputs can be read. It is known that when the data output of a sensor is, the original value can be read. This engineering value can be calculated and displayed on the display due to customer specific software. The practical options available are as follows:
? Serial Input RS232 (NMEA)
? Serial input RS485 (MODBUS-RTU)
? mA input (0-20mA) (4-20 mA)
? DC voltage (0-10V)
? Digital input
? Digital output
