Unique technology that delivers high-quality, efficient results to all press brake operators.
A press brake can be described as a machine tool that is used to bend metal parts or sheets up to 20mm thick. It's composed of a U or V-shaped punch and a die. The material to be bent can be placed on the die and then pressed by the punch. This bends the sheet to a desired degree.
The BH series hybrid press brakes prove that not all hybrid presses are created equally. The patented dual-drive design of these third-generation machines allows you to get the best of both hydraulic bending and electric bending. This is even more than other hydraulic, hybrid, or electric pulley-style presses.
This game-changing tool changer offers real-time info that will help any press brake operator perform more effectively.
The bending angle must be adjusted according to the metal springback and the margin must also be calculated. For example, a 90deg bend requires that the punch be lowered to 85deg.
Do you need a reliable machine to bend or process metal sheets and do you want it to be strong? Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has both Single Cylinder Y1+Y2 HydraulicPressbrakes that are capable of bending steel plates and sheets. Fabricators can trust them for all forms of bending. Hydraulic Pressbrakes are simple to operate.
Hydraulic press brakes are hydraulically applied to the ram to reduce its height, rather than relying only on mechanicals. They may contain more than one cylinder, giving the operator more control over the bend. It produces a precise and configurable bend. The hydraulic press brakes are similar to mechanical presses but have some disadvantages. Hydraulic press brakes cannot exceed the rated tonnage. You may prefer mechanical press brakes if you need flexibility.
Our manual control brakes are ideal for jobs or industries that don’t require precise and detailed CNC controls. Manual press brakes come with all the same safety features that CNC models have. These powerful machines are easy to start and great for more simple jobs. They have a front-operated ram adjust and power back-gauge with digital readouts. Both can also be fine adjusted by handwheels. Our models range in weight from 22 tons to 425 tons.
There are two ways press brakes can bend metal. The first is called bottom bending because the ram will press the metal to the bottom of the die. Bottom bending results in highly accurate bends and relies less on the press brake machine itself. The downside is each tool is they're made to create one specific bend, so you’ll need to purchase a new one for every angle you want to make. Air bending leaves an air pocket between the ram and the bottom of the die. This allows the operator to accommodate for any spring back the material might provide. These types of dies only need to be changed if the material’s thickness is too much. Air bending’s drawback is the accuracy of the angle is affected by the material’s thickness, so the ram needs to be changed out accordingly.
No matter your bending need, our BH Series is there to help.
Before you can choose your press brake you will need to identify the type and gauge of steel you want to bend.
According to the metal springback, you must adjust the angle of the bend and calculate the margin. So, for example, a 90deg bend must be bent, the punch must be reduced to 85deg.
The tonnage is the press force of the press brake. It determines the amount of pressure that can be applied by the punch during the bending operation.
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.

The CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.
Rare earth magnets can withstand pressures up to 9,000 lbs per square inch, but not for what you might think. The Internet has seen hydraulic presses crush things for a while.
A press brake is a machine that bends metal parts and sheets up 20mm thick.
The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
