The BH Series "hybrid press brakes" prove that hybrid press brakes do not always work the same. These third-generation machines use their dual-drive design to offer the best of both electric and hydraulic bending: high productivity, precision movement, reliability, and superior savings - even when compared with other hydraulic, electric pulley, and hybrid press brakes.
Consider all of the machine capabilities above combined with our industry-leading service (on average 2 1/2 service techs per salesperson), our well staffed emergency service line and a parts section that will blow your mind. We also have the tools to build your press brake. With all the tools available, our factory-trained Wilson and Wila experts are certified.
Warning: incorrect tonnage (too high or low) can damage your press brake or the part you are bending. To calculate the tonnage of your press brake, refer to the operating manual or a tonnage table.
Mechanical press brakes operate via a motor inside the device. This motor spins a large flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls the flywheel through a clutch, which then sets the rest of the parts into motion to bend the metal. The mechanical press brake is much more straightforward, especially regarding its electronics, making maintenance and operation easy. They can also handle tonnages two to three times higher than their inherent rating, due to the nature of the mechanisms. The primary disadvantage of using mechanical press brakes is that the ram inside the machine must complete a full cycle when engaged and cannot be reversed. This creates some safety concerns if the operator makes a mistake and sets some limitations on the machine. One possible hazard is the potential for the press brake to become locked if the ram travels too far.
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.
A Mitsubishi automatic tools changer (ATC), equipped with a press brake stands out in many ways.
Think Gigantically LARGE and highly intelligent press brakes with an unlimited range of tonnages, bending lengths, and loading/unloading metal material handling systems. All of our high tonnage mega press brakes utilize advanced engineered technology “box construction” frame design that gives our mega brakes the most stable brake machine body in the world. The unparalleled stability and rigidity of our large high tonnage press brakes incorporating our box construction frame design is approved by our references all around the world. Our high tonnage press brake also focuses to minimize the handling of large work pieces before, during and after the bending operation and respects the next process.
Gulf States Saw & Machine is the perfect choice for precise, detailed measurements and simple bends. Co offers two great choices for hydraulic presses brakes in different sizes at reasonable prices. To get a quote for a machine, please contact our team.
The options list could go on and on. We will only list the most important ones. Safety is paramount. We have included the AKASLC world-class laser safety system as a top choice. It is widely considered the best press brake safety system. For combination machines, light curtain sick C 4000. Additional axis for up to 14. Extended travel back gauge of up to 39 inches, with safety light curtain. Motorized height adjustment sheet follower. Delem (DA69T), Cybelec (12S,15S) and 3D with the PC1200 are updated cnc controls. Quick release clamping or hydraulic clamping. Wila or Wilson mechanical, or hydraulic clamping. There are many tooling options available from the "who's Who" of press brake tools. Systeme for positioning bottom tools, thickness measuring systems, and offline software to support Profile-W or VBend.
Our single cylinder and dual cylinder hydraulic press brakes are made using the CNC technology system, the Computerized Numeric Control. It is the most recent technological advance in Press Brake design and employs a blaster system to remove rust from work-piece surfaces. The advanced dual bending machines we offer are powered by Servo Electric and operate entirely electrically. They do not require hydraulic oiling so energy consumption is low.
This method provides a high level of angular precision.It is suitable for sheet metal over 2 mm thick.
This game-changing tool changer offers real-time information to help any press brake operator perform even better.
The first generation of press brakes had only one axis that could bend. These machines were far less flexible than modern machines that have 12 or more programmable movement axes. Modern presses brakes are extremely precise and can create visual representations of the final result to assist the operator. The setup time has been greatly reduced by modern computers. These computers can quickly determine the optimal settings based upon materials used, their dimensions, and desired results. Back in the day, these calculations were done manually.
Then you will need to determine the particular characteristics to be taken into account when calculating the part bend. This includes, for example:
Extra Open Height, Extra Throat Depth, Extra Stroke Tonnage 12" Horn Ext. B & R 2' Ext. Open Ht. Open Ht.
The CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.
A hydraulic press crushed a worker to death in an industrial accident. Two workers were placing materials under hydraulic presses. An online video of the incident shows this. While the victim was fixing the materials, the worker controlling the machine turned the engine on.
Nearly all modern car crushers use hydraulic presses to crush cars. A pump pushes hydraulic fluid through large cylinders to power a large motor. Using principles of force-multiplication, a hydraulic system can generate over 2,000 psi and impart more than 150 tons of crushing force onto a pile of scrap cars.
Hydraulic systems have many advantages, including power, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. They also have their drawbacks: they can leak which can make them messy and the fluids within them can be difficult to paint or seal.
