Our goal at Gulf States Saw & Machine - is to ensure that every machine we produce leaves our plant in perfect condition. We call this the "Perfect Machine Process". This is a process we use to ensure that your order arrives in the right place. We ensure the precision of all components and the quality of their fit and finish.
Our energy-efficient, all-electric BB series press brakes come specially designed with a collection of ultra-modern, performance-enhancing features that are perfect for meeting and exceeding the demanding requirements facing today's production machinery experts.
The game-changing tool allows press brake operators to improve their performance by receiving real-time data.
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.
Our Servo Hydraulic Press Brkes are highly efficient metal benders. With up to 66% reduced power consumption in standby, and 44% lower energy usage during the bending phase, our Servo Hydraulic Press Brokes are more powerful and efficient than other metal benders. AC Servo "electric motors" drive the ram movement of our servobrakes. They also have variable speed pumps that pump hydraulic oil "on demand". Our sophisticated, advanced technology ensures that the servopress brake is cost-effective. It's hard to find a quieter or more accurate press braking system anywhere.
There are two methods that press brakes can bend steel. The first, or bottom bending, is when the ram presses metal to the bottom. Bottom bending can produce precise bends and is less dependent on the press brake. The problem is that each tool is designed for a specific type of bend. You will need to purchase a brand new tool for each angle. Air bending creates an air pocket between the die's bottom and the ram. This allows the operator flexibility in accommodating any spring back provided by the material. These types are only necessary to be replaced if the material is too thick. The drawback of air bending is its inability to accurately bend the material. This means that the ram will need to be changed accordingly.
Once these characteristics are determined, it is time to calculate the tonnage necessary for the bending operation.
Standard Industrial press brakes are able to provide the tonnage required to make your project a success, regardless of whether you need one or more die sets.
Standard's warranty offers a 5-year limited onsite labor warranty as well as a 1-year CNC/PLC Warranty. This warranty comes with unlimited lifetime telephone support.
All standard presses brakes can be equipped with an integrated depth stop. The mechanical limit switches are precise and control open height, speed, and the micrometer adjustment to reach precise angles. This feature will ensure that your computer is always up and running, even in the event of a failure. Not available with certain CNC controls.
Our Servo Hydraulic Press Brakes can bend metal with up to 66% less power consumption at stand-by and 44% less energy use during the bending cycles. Our servo braking system is powered by AC Servo motors. These motors drive hydraulic oil on demand in conjunction with variable speed pumps. Our advanced technology ensures that our servo presses have a significantly lower price per part. We use only the most powerful electronic, electric and hydraulic power when it is needed. You won't find any quieter, less energy-intensive or more accurate press brake.
Other elements should be taken into account when calculating this margin, such as the thickness of the punch blade, the length of the fold and the opening of the V.
Hydraulic presse brakes are great for heavy-duty tasks and can be customized to suit any customer's needs.
For any press brake to work well, it is essential that the lower beams be strong and durable. Standard brakes have grooves in the middle of the beds to accommodate American-style tooling. Standard is the most deflection-free press brake available. A press brake with less deflection generally has a shorter Tool & Machine Life.
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.
Air brakes can be described as three types of braking systems: emergency brake, parking brake and service brake. The service brake system applies the brakes and then releases them when you press the brake pedal while driving.
Nearly all modern car crushers use hydraulic presses to crush cars. A pump pushes hydraulic fluid through large cylinders to power a large motor. Using principles of force-multiplication, a hydraulic system can generate over 2,000 psi and impart more than 150 tons of crushing force onto a pile of scrap cars.
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.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
