In air bending, the end of the punch and the 2 edges of the V allow the sheet metal to be bent. But this type of bending means there is a spring back effect of the work piece. As the bending force is weaker, the metal sheet springs backwards like an elastic when the punch is removed.
Nearly every metal fabrication shop needs a press brake. Despite being one of the most vital pieces of machinery within a shop, press brakes are still misunderstood by even professionals. This short guide will help you understand presses brakes.
"The little guys can sometimes punch well above their weight class," it is often said. This is exactly what our 4-foot small press brake does. This compact bender has a CNC controlled X-axis rear gauge, tangs which accept euro and american style toolings, LED rear working lights, two sliding front sheets supports with linear rails, dual palm/foot stations with a selector toggle, and an LED rear lighting light. You'll want to test this powerful, fast, and precise small press brake. This bend punch is unlike any other.
Hydraulic press brakes are ideal for heavy-duty work and can be customized to tackle the most diverse combinations of customer forming requirements—from high tonnage to long length, tandem, and everything in between.
You can optimize and manage your workflow to save money, time, and effort. Avoid product failures and downtime by taking proactive steps to avoid them. Your shop can be tailored to meet current needs using unmatched functionality and programming capabilities. You also have access to real-time machine insights via the cloud. Automation solutions can be tailored to meet any challenge.
Our Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder Hydraulic Press Brakes use the CNC technology system-the Computerized Numeric Control. This is the latest technological advancement for Press Brake designs. Our dual bending machines operate solely on electricity because they are run by Servo Electric. They don't require hydraulic oiling. Their energy consumption and maintenance are minimal.
Our top-end precision press brakes offer a wide range of features, including better controls, more parts production, larger daylight openings, and greater work areas. The features include an AC servo motor-driven, stable back gauge system with long ram guides that are mounted on the outside of the frame. These guides provide stability and allow for full length between frames to allow for acute angle bending.
The Hydraulic Press Brake's tonnage, also known by the Press Capacity, determines the work-piece size that can be processed. A press brake can also deliver the unit force measurement. This is what bends work-pieces into the desired/specific degrees. The tonnage range for our Press Brakes ranges between 30 tons and 3000 tons. While the bed lengths range from 4 feet to almost 30 feet, they can accommodate up to 30 tons.
Standard currently manufactures the most extensive range of hydraulic brakes. Our ADR5 axis hydraulic press brake series includes 20 models. It ranges from small pressbrakes that measure 4 feet in length to large pressbrakes up to 20-foot in length. We also offer 7 different tonnages from 66 to440 tons. ADS series with more advanced features is available with upto 14 CNC-axis. 32 models are available with metal bending lengths ranging from 6 foot 8 inches to 26 foot 5 inch. Our ADS Series machines are high-end precision metal benders with powerful capacities up to 3.300 tons. These two most popular series of press brakes are also offered by us. We also offer the PBF range for those who require a more basic press brake. There is also the AD Servo brakes which feature a combination of hydraulic and ball screw configurations for quiet operation and energy-efficiency. Standard has also introduced the FBS series of press brakes. This stands for the flexible bending solutions. FBS series brakes for high tonnage are made to order according to customer specifications. You can have tandem, trio or even triple press brakes. Also, you have the option to use material automation and handling tools of any description.
Tonnage refers to the press force applied by the brake. It is the pressure that can apply to the punch during the bending operation.
Your workflow can be optimized to reduce costs, time and effort. You can prevent downtime and product issues by being proactive. Shops can be fine-tuned to meet customer needs. Whatever your challenge, there is an automation solution.
The CNC control hydraulic press brakes allow users to tackle any project with precision and speed. These machines are capable of handling the most difficult jobs with utmost precision. You can store additional programs on a removable USB flash drive. Other important features include:
Think gigantically large, highly intelligent press brakes. They can be loaded/unloaded with metal material handling systems and have an endless range of tonnages and bending lengths. Our high-tonnage mega press brakes use advanced engineered technology "box structure" frame design which gives them the most stable machine body. Referees from around the globe have praised our high-tonnage press brakes for their unmatched stability and rigidity. The high tonnage press brake focuses on handling large work pieces prior to, during and following the bending operation. It also respects the next process.
Each Standard hydraulic press brake is thoroughly checked in Rockford, Illinois as part of our Perfect Machine Process.
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.
How does a hydraulic press brake work? Hydraulic press brakes use the power of a hydraulic motor, applying force to the metal and compressing it into a die that forms the shape. The shape of the die determines the final shape achieved by the metal bending process.
The press brake can do tasks that would normally fall to special machines. For example, press brakes can form rods or tubes from raw materials not usually associated with sheet metal benders. You can also use press brakes to attach various types of press-fit hardware to sheet metal parts.
Finally, a neodymium magnetic magnet beat a hydraulic press.
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.
