For almost every metal fabrication shop, press brakes are essential. Although they are one the most valuable and sought-after pieces of machinery in a shop's arsenal, they are often misunderstood even by professionals. We have created this simple guide for laymen to help you understand press brakes.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. offers a wide selection of hydraulic presses to meet the specific needs of every business we serve. Our press brakes can be adjusted to any length bed, with either CNC or manual controls. They are available in sizes ranging from 22 tons to 440tons and bed lengths ranging from 4' up to 13'. We are also able to accept custom orders, including length and tonnage requests. All our press brakes are equipped with safety devices, and a rear safety box that deactivates the machine when it is opened. This prevents any unauthorised maintenance. All electrical components are constructed using industry-standard parts. These parts can be readily found in our Memphis TN warehouse. You can download the pdf to see more details about each model.
Flexible and reliable bending performances with the patented HEXA (r) frame – all this in a cost-efficient package
This type of bend is used most frequently for sheet metalworking because it can be used with machines with reduced capacities. It is not as strong as bottom bending, which is more difficult.
The BH series "hybrid” press brakes show that not all hybrid brakes are equal. These machines, which are third-generation, feature their patented dual drive design. It allows for superior productivity, precision, reliability, energy savings, and high-speed movement.
This method can achieve high levels in angular precision. This method is good for sheet metal exceeding 2 mm in thickness.
Machines that press brake sheet metal are used to form long sheets. These sheets are commonly used in manufacturing, for industrial applications, or to make components for other devices. Most press brakes have a rating based on their pressability and their bending length. This information is expressed as numbers (e.g., total pressure per inch, or pounds of pressurized material per inch). They are available in many sizes and can often be equipped with additional tools and add-ons to make custom components. The two main types of presses brakes that you will find are hydraulic and mechanical. In the following sections, we will explain the main features and distinguish between the two types.
Although there are many options available, this list is not exhaustive. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please ask. Safety is paramount. The AKASLC, a world-class laser safety device, is at the top of our options. It is considered to be one of the best presses brakes. Light curtain Sick C4000 for combination machines. Additional axis to accommodate upto 14. With safety light curtain, extended travel back gauge can reach 39 inches Motorized height adjustment on sheet follower. Delem's DA69T or Cybelec's (10S,12S.15S,15S,3D with PC1200) are the latest cnc control controllers. Quick release clamping. Positioning systems at the bottom, thickness measurement, offline software for ProfileW and V-Bend.
All this in a very cost-effective package.
If timelines and deadlines are pressing in on your production line, a fully automated press brake solution can go a long way toward relieving some pressure—on both your bottom line and your peace of mind. But how?
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co is a Member the American Welding Society (NOMMA) and the National Glass Association (NGA).
The press brake is usually narrow and long, so large sheets of sheet metal can easily be bent by it. The press brake bends sheet steel by placing a punch on sheet metal placed on top of a tool. A press brake can bend the metal several times until it reaches the desired shape.
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.
Semi-trucks use compressed air for their brakes instead of hydraulic fluid. Semi-trucks have a lot of weight so they need air to brake.
Rapid braking Can cause slipping or sliding if you brake too fast. Slowly brake by gently putting your foot on the pedal. You should leave enough space between you and the driver in front to ensure a generous stopping distance.
Hydraulic brakes are more efficient than mechanical disc brakes. This means that you will need to apply less pressure to the lever for equal braking power. This allows for better modulation.
