A press brake is a machine tool used for bending metal parts and sheets up to 20 mm thick. It is composed of a V-shaped or U-shaped die (depending on the desired bending shape) and a punch. The material to be bent is placed on the die and pressed by the punch which then bends the sheet to the selected degree.
The BH series hybrid press brakes prove that not all hybrid presses are created equally. The patented dual-drive design of these third-generation machines allows you to get the best of both hydraulic bending and electric bending. This is even more than other hydraulic, hybrid, or electric pulley-style presses.
This type of bending is most commonly used for sheet metal working as it is suitable for machines with reduced capacities, unlike bottom bending, which requires more force.
Hydraulic press brakes can be used for heavy-duty work. They can also be customized to meet customer requirements, from high tonnage to long-length tandems and everything in-between.
All of these outstanding machine capabilities are combined with industry-recognized service (we average 2 and 1/2 service technicians for every salesperson), a well-staffed emergency number, and a parts division that will blow you away. If your initial investment involves tooling up your presses brake, we also have that covered. We are Wila and Wilson certified tooling professionals with the tools that you need.

Whatever your bending needs may be, the BB series will meet them all.
Press brakes are machines that form lengths of sheet metal. These sheets are typically used in manufacturing, industrial applications, or as components for other devices. Most press brakes are rated by their capacity to press metal and their overall bending length; this is expressed in numbers (e.g., total PPI, or pounds of pressure per inch). They come in many forms and often are equipped with tooling and add-ons designed to create highly customized components. Press brakes fall into two main categories: mechanical and hydraulic. In the next sections, we’ll break down the difference and explain the prominent features of each style.
High productivity, heavy-duty bent performance, and intuitive operations all in one package.
Our energy-efficient, all-electric BB series press brakes come specially designed with a collection of ultra-modern, performance-enhancing features that are perfect for meeting and exceeding the demanding requirements facing today's production machinery experts.
Real-time information from this game-changing tool changer lets any press brake operator perform better than their best.
You can use presses in sheet metal fabrication and production plants in many sectors such as automotive and aeronautics.
Other elements should be taken into account when calculating this margin, such as the thickness of the punch blade, the length of the fold and the opening of the V.

When you travel at a decent speed, the first brake is used. If you need to stop your car or your car's speed reaches the lowest gear, you will need to use your brakes to prevent it from stalling.
The disadvantages of pneumatic and hydraulic brakes They can be more expensive than a mechanical brake. The fluid used should be compatible to the brake material. Brake failure could result from brake fluid leakage. Maintenance and construction are not as easy as mechanical brakes.
A hydraulic press can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $5 million depending on its capabilities and age.
4. Choose the correct upper and lower dies for your press brake toolings based on the sheet metal hardness, thickness, length, and other factors. The slot width of the lower den should be between 5-6 times and 6-8 times the thickness of a metal plate. The sheet should have a longer length.
