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.
Every Standard hydraulic press brake goes through our Perfect Machine Process. It is then thoroughly inspected in Rockford, Illinois to ensure that it is ready for seamless installation in the shop.
Hydraulic press braking is ideal for heavy-duty jobs and can easily be customized to handle the most varied customer forms, such as long lengths, tandems, high tonnage, and everything else in between.
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.
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.
You need a machine that is reliable and strong to process and bend metal sheets. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co.'s Single Cylinder Y1+Y2 HydraulicPressbrakes are capable of bending plates and metal sheets with minimal effort. Fabricators can depend on them for a variety of forms of bending. Hydraulic Press Brakes operate very easily. All that is required is that the material to be worked on is secured to the bed, and then the ram descends onto it.
Before you choose your press brake, it is important to know what type of metal you are going to be bending (stainless steel or 16 gauge mild steel).
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.
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.
This dual-drive hybrid allows for quick and efficient project management with long-term, high speed, energy-efficient operation.
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.
