Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. carries a variety of hydraulic press brake models to suit the needs of each of our customers. Our presses come in sizes from 22 to 440 tons, and have bed lengths of 4 to 13 feet with manual or CNC controls. We can also accommodate custom orders for lengths and tons. Our press brakes come with safety devices and a safety cage at the rear that prevents the machine from being opened. This allows for simple and secure maintenance. All electrical components are made from industry-standard parts that can be found in our Memphis, TN warehouse. For more information on each model, download a pdf.
Looking for the ideal combination of serious bending strength and cost-efficient operation without sacrificing quality or output?
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.
Our manual control presses brakes can be used in jobs and industries that do not require precision or detail like CNC controls. While the manual press brakes feature the same safety features as the CNC models, they are still powerful and easy to use for simple jobs. These include a front-operated powerback-gauge and adjustable ram with digital readouts. There are also fine adjustment handwheels that allow for both. Our models are available in a range of weights, from 22 tons up to 440 tons.
Generally, the tonnage of a Hydraulic Press Brake is also known as the Press Capacity and is what determines the size of the work-piece that can be processed on the Press Brake and the unit of force measurement which is a press brake can deliver and is what bends work-pieces into desired/specific degrees. The tonnage range of our Press Brakes is between 30 tons to 3000 tons while the bed lengths begin at 4 feet and ranges up to almost 30 feet.
The use of press brakes is common in sheet metal and production plants in many areas, including automotive and aeronautic.
No matter what kind of bending you need, our BH series will be there to meet your needs.
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.
Hydraulic pressure brakes, which use hydraulics to press the ram downwards instead of relying on mechanics, apply pressure via hydraulics. You can have several cylinders and give you more control over your bend. The end result is a customizable, precise bend. However, hydraulic press brakes also have their limitations. They can't exceed the tonnage they are rated at. They may be more flexible if your project demands flexibility.
Do you need a strong and reliable machine for processing and bending metal sheets? At Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 Hydraulic Press Brakes are capable of bending metal sheets and plates without hassles. They are strong and can be relied upon by fabricators for various form bending. The operation of our Hydraulic Press Brakes is quite simple as it basically requires that the material being worked on is fastened on the bed while the ram descends on it.
It is said that the "little guys" sometimes punch higher than their weight classes. Our small, 4-foot press brake is an example of this. The compact bender includes a CNC-controlled X-axis back gauge, tangs capable of accepting euro or american tooling, an LED rear working light and two front sheet supports that slide with a linear rail. There is also a dual palm/foot station equipped with a selector switch. This small, powerful and precise press brake packs a punch.
The PA Plus series combines versatility and functionality in one powerful package. The PA Plus series has a wide variety of accessories to make it a customized solution.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
Your brakes may touch the ground most often due to a problem with your brake fluid. Low fluid levels or air getting into the brake line can cause a spongy pedal. Another common reason for a pedal that isn't working properly is a bad brake booster.
Experts estimate that hydraulic brakes require twice as much electrical energy to operate an electric press brake. The hydraulic motors, pumps and oil that hydraulic press brakes use to operate the machine keep it running, even when it's not in use.
Hydraulic disc brakes have the advantage of self-adjusting as they wear down. The caliper's design will allow it to retract a predetermined distance from the rotor, regardless of how worn the pads are. This is amazing, and you don't need to adjust your brakes like with mechanical pads.
The panel bender is more efficient than a traditional press brake due to its tooling advantages. It also has a faster, more consistent, and repeatable process. Both can benefit from CNC (computer numerical control), but a press brake needs manual manipulation of the sheet metal, bend to bend.
