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.
Take all the outstanding machine capabilities and combine them with our industry-renowned service (on average, 2 1/2 service technicians per salesperson), well-staffed emergency line and parts department. We can also help you to set up your press brake. With the right tools, we are factory-trained and certified Wila & Wilson tooling specialists.
“The accuracy and repeatability are outstanding. I had one job running for five days straight—there was no difference from the first part bent on day one to the last part bent on day five. All of this plus the reduced setup time translates into higher profitability.”
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.
Automated press brakes can ease the pressure on your production line if there are deadlines or timelines that must be met. How can you do this?
ADR and ADS hydraulic brakes are just as fast as they can be. These press brakes make it the best machine in the world, with repeatability and accuracy to match. Our JMT line of press brakes has the same concept as all other JMT presses. These machines have large strokes, high openings or deep throats that allow operators to make more complicated parts. You will have more parts in your bin by the end the shift thanks to a faster setup and more operator friendly controls.
Two ways can press brakes bend metal are available. Bottom bending is the first method. The ram presses the metal down to the bottom of a die. Bottom bending is a more precise method of creating bends that require less pressure from the press brake machine. Each tool is made to make a specific angle, so you will need to buy a new one every time you want to bend. An air pocket is created when you bend by air. This allows the operator the flexibility to adjust for any material's spring back. If the material is too thick, these types of dies can be modified. The downside to air bending is that the angle accuracy is affected by thickness. Therefore, the ram must be replaced accordingly.
A press brake is a machine that forms sheets of metal in long lengths. These sheets are often used in manufacturing or industrial applications. Most press brakes can be rated according to their metal pressing capacity and overall bending length. These numbers are expressed in numbers (e.g. total PPI, or pounds per inch). They can be found in many shapes and come with tools and accessories that allow for the creation of highly customized components. Two main types of press brakes are available: hydraulic and mechanical. We will discuss the differences and highlight the key features of each style in the sections that follow.
A Mitsubishi automatic tool changer (ATC), fitted to a press brake, stands out in many ways.
Our high-end precision press brakes have many possibilities. They offer more controls, faster setups and production, as well as large daylight openings and larger working areas. Other features include a fast AC-servo motor-driven backgau system that is stable and reliable, as well as outboard mounted long RAM guides (which are long enough to reach all the frames and allow for precise angle bending)
Whatever your bending needs, our BB series is here to make sure that power, precision, and profit are never far away.
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.
Hydraulic press brakes can be used for heavy-duty work. They can also be customized to meet customer requirements, from high tonnage to long-length tandems and everything in-between.
These machines are faster and more efficient than their predecessors.
#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.
