And then there are the BH series “hybrid” press brakes that prove once and for all that not all hybrid press brakes are created equal. These third-generation machines utilize their patented dual-drive design to bring you the best of both hydraulic and electric bending worlds: productivity, precision, high-speed movement, reliability, and superior energy savings—even when compared to other hydraulic, hybrid, and even electric pulley-style press brakes.
To save time, money, effort, and labor, optimize your workflow. Avoid costly downtimes and product problems by actively preventing them. With unrivalled functionality and programmability as well as real-time cloud-based machine intelligence, fine tune your shop to meet your day's needs. No matter what the challenge may be, automation can help.
Whatever your bending needs may be, the BB series will meet them all.
This dual drive hybrid makes quick work of any project. It's long-term, high performance, and efficient.
It’s been said that "the little guys sometimes punch well above their weight class." Such is the case with our small 4 foot press brake. This compact bender comes standard with a CNC controlled X axis back gauge, tangs that accept euro or american style tooling, LED rear working light, two sliding front sheet supports with a linear rail, and a dual palm/foot station with a selector switch. You for sure are going to want to check out this new powerful, fast and accurate small press brake that packs a bend "punch" like no other.
Are you searching for the perfect balance of serious bending power with cost-efficient operation that doesn’t sacrifice quality and output?
Once these characteristics are determined, it is time to calculate the tonnage necessary for the bending operation.
Bottom bending refers to the way the punch bends the metal sheet. It uses a greater force (3 to 5-times greater than airbending) and reduces or completely eliminates the spring back effect of air bending. This process involves air bending followed by cold forging at bottom of V.
Adjust the bending angle in accordance with the metal spring back, and then calculate the margin. Accordingly, for example, 90deg bends, the punch should be reduced to 85deg.
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.
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 BB series has the right bending tools for you.
A fully automated press brake solution can reduce the stress on your production lines, and help you to keep your mind and your business in check. But how can this be done?
Do you require a machine capable of processing and bending steel sheets? Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. offers single and dual cylinder Y1+Y2 hydraulic press brakes that can bend plates and metal sheets quickly and easily. They are strong and can easily be relied on by fabricators for different forms of bending. Hydraulic Press brakes are easy to operate. It basically means that the material being used must be attached to the bed while it descends.
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.
Brake Pads May be Damaged by WD40 WD40 is not an oil cleaner. It is an oil, and should not be used on a friction surface. The friction surface of brake pads is called WD40. If you spray WD40 on them, they will need to be replaced or cleaned.
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.
Modern manual transmissions can be used to skip gears while going up or lower. You can, for example, change the gears when you accelerate. However, 3rd may be slower due to low engine revs.
