Store bend sequences, tooling sets and angle checks against each part.
Manage drawings, quotations, incoming blanks, bend programmes, punch and die tooling, press brake queues, angle checks and dispatch for a CNC bending shop. Each part keeps its revision, its sequence, its back-gauge data and the correction that held the angle, so a repeat run starts from a proven setup. Operators open their own queue at the brake, and the office reads progress without walking the floor.
- Press brakes, tonnage limits and tooling sets entered as your shop holds them
- Part numbers, programmes and open jobs migrated
- Edits to bend rates and routings handled by GullySystem staff on request
CNC Bending Shop Management Software, configured by GullySystem, handles quotations, bend programmes, tooling and press brake queues. Each part carries its revision, bend sequence, back-gauge data, tooling set and measured angles. Incoming blanks are checked for grain and burr side. Formed lots move on to welding, coating or packing with a delivery note.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Enquiry and drawing
A drawing and a blank source arrive. The estimator notes bend count, flange lengths, inside radii and weight, and logs the revision letter.
- 2
Quotation
A price is built from bend count, tooling needs and handling, with every revision kept. The buyer accepts, revises or drops it.
- 3
Blank receipt
Blanks arrive from the laser or turret shop. Grade, gauge, grain direction and burr side are checked, and the lot is booked in against its delivery note.
- 4
Setup and first-off
The planner groups jobs by tooling. The operator builds the punch and die set, loads the programme, bends the first piece and logs the angle and correction.
- 5
Run and check
The lot is bent and sampled at the set interval. The inspector signs the readings before the trolley leaves the brake.
- 6
Onward and dispatch
Formed parts go to welding, tapping or powder coating, or are packed straight away. A delivery note and invoice follow the passed count.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Quote & Proposal Management
Prices are built from bend count, bend length and tooling changes, and each version is kept to compare with the actual press brake hours.
- Document Management
Programmes holding sequence, back-gauge positions and angle corrections are filed against the part revision and the press brake that ran them.
- Fixed Asset Register
Punches and dies are listed by profile, length and rack position, with wear and regrind history kept for each individual tool.
- Goods Receipt (GRN)
Blanks are received against the cutter’s delivery note with grain direction, burr side, gauge and lot noted before bending begins.
- Production Planning
Jobs are ordered by tooling set on each press brake, so the planner sees changes saved and the next job on every machine.
- Batch and Serial Tracking
The angle correction that held is stored with the sheet lot and machine, so a later first-off starts from a known figure.
- Quality Control
First-off and sample angles are entered by bend, and the inspector’s sign-off stays with the lot through to dispatch.
- Work Order Management
Formed parts move to welding, tapping, coating or packing as steps on the work order, with the holding stage always visible.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
See brake hours sold, jobs waiting on tooling, scrap from bending and balances due from each customer.
For estimators
Quote by bends and setups, then compare earlier prices with the hours the brake really took.
For press brake operators
Open the part’s programme and last correction, log first-off angles and pass each lot to the next step.
For tool-room staff
Keep the punch and die register, mark tools out for regrind and see which setups are waiting for them.
For inspectors and dispatch
Sign off angle checks, release lots, and print the dispatch note to match the counted pieces.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Press brake hours by machine, job and customer
- Setup changes per shift and jobs grouped by tooling
- Angle corrections by sheet lot and material
- Tooling out for regrind, with return dates
- Blank lots held or rejected, with reason
- Scrap from bending by cause and part
- Quoted against actual bend hours by part
Who this is built for.
- Press brake shops that form blanks cut by other suppliers
- Fabricators with an in-house bending cell for brackets and boxes
- Shops that bend enclosure doors, frames and panels in repeat batches
- Contract formers with several press brakes and a wide tooling stock
- Shops that bend tube-adjacent parts such as trays and channels
When it is not the right choice.
- A workshop with one manual press brake and no programme library can work from a bend chart.
- Laser cutters, general sheet metal fabricators and stampers are served by separate products of their own.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
How are bend programmes stored?
Each programme is attached to a part revision, with the sequence, back-gauge positions and angle corrections noted. A new drawing revision starts a fresh programme.
Can it group jobs to reduce tooling changes?
Yes. The press brake queue can be ordered by tooling set. The planner decides, and the board shows the changes saved against the original order.
What does it record about springback?
The angle correction that held for each sheet lot, with the machine and operator. The next first-off opens with that figure.
Can punches and dies be tracked individually?
Yes. Each tool has a rack position, a wear note and a regrind history, and shows as unavailable while it is away at the grinder.
Do blanks from different cutters need separate handling?
Each supplier’s blanks are received against its own delivery note, with grain and burr side noted. A held lot is flagged back to the cutter.
Does it send programmes to the press brake?
Not by default. Programmes are held and attached to jobs. A link to your controller depends on its make and is scoped during implementation.
Can operators use it at the machine?
Yes. A tablet or fixed terminal beside each brake shows the queue, drawing and last correction.
Can existing jobs and parts be loaded?
Yes. We key in live parts, bend programmes and open orders, and your planner verifies them before the brakes depend on them.
How is the work priced?
We show a sample using your own parts, then price the setup by machine count, users and integrations in a written proposal.
