A Mitsubishi automatic changer (ATC), fitted with a press brake is a unique piece of equipment.
Tonnage is the force that the press brake applies to the material. It determines how much pressure can be applied to the punch during bending.
This revolutionary tool changer gives press brake operators real-time information to help them perform better.
Gulf States Saw & Machine is the perfect choice for precise, detailed measurements and simple bends. Co offers two great choices for hydraulic presses brakes in different sizes at reasonable prices. To get a quote for a machine, please contact our team.
Warning: incorrect tonnage, which is too high or low, can cause damage or irreparable injury to your press brake. Refer to the manual or a table to calculate the weight of your press brake.
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.
Optimize your workflow to reduce time, money and human effort. You can avoid costly downtime and product defect. You can fine-tune your shop to meet changing needs with unrivalled programmability, functionality and cloud-based machine insight. There is an automation solution for every challenge.
This method allows for high levels of angular precision. This method can be used for sheet metal greater than 2mm thick.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. carries a variety of hydraulic press brake models to suit the needs of each of our customers. Our presses come in sizes from 22 to 440 tons, and have bed lengths of 4 to 13 feet with manual or CNC controls. We can also accommodate custom orders for lengths and tons. Our press brakes come with safety devices and a safety cage at the rear that prevents the machine from being opened. This allows for simple and secure maintenance. All electrical components are made from industry-standard parts that can be found in our Memphis, TN warehouse. For more information on each model, download a pdf.
Warning: Incorrect tonnage (too low or too high) can cause damage to your press brake and the part you are bent. Refer to the operating manual for details on how to calculate the tonnage of the press brake.
There’s no denying that press brakes are one of the most useful tools an industrial-grade metalworker can have. Does your practice need an excellent press brake? Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co has everything your business needs to succeed.
Warning: incorrect tonnage (too high or low) can damage your press brake or the part you are bending. To calculate the tonnage of your press brake, refer to the operating manual or a tonnage table.
It uses a double axis back gauge to calculate bending steps and bend lengths between the sides frames. These servoelectric Press Brakes offer precision bending, are eco-friendly and simple to use.
In the beginning, press brakes could only bend with one axis. They were less versatile than modern machines which have twelve or more programmable movements. Modern press brakes can be extremely precise and provide visual representations of final results to aid operators. Modern computers also make it much easier to set up. The computers are able to quickly calculate the best settings based on the materials being used and its dimensions. These calculations used to have to be done manually back in the day.
#1 Do not keep your car in gear when you're at a stop light. The reason it's bad: It will cause excessive wear to your clutch.
The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
Hydraulic press machines have two main benefits: They reduce weight and allow for material conversation. Lower cost molds and a reduced number of parts. Production and initial costs are low. Capacity to handle high tonnage. It is safer than Mechanical presses. Overload protection built-in Less noise. More items.
Hydraulic presses can be expensive and eat up a large portion of machine shop budgets of all sizes. However, choosing the lowest-cost press can lead to higher long-term costs. These are some things to keep in mind when selecting your next hydraulic press.
