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.
In addition to their robust, industry-leading production capabilities, our machines come equipped with intuitive operator controls that take the stress out of day-to-day operation for operators of any skill level.
You can use presses in sheet metal fabrication and production plants in many sectors such as automotive and aeronautics.
Our single cylinder and dual cylinder hydraulic press brakes are made using the CNC technology system, the Computerized Numeric Control. It is the most recent technological advance in Press Brake design and employs a blaster system to remove rust from work-piece surfaces. The advanced dual bending machines we offer are powered by Servo Electric and operate entirely electrically. They do not require hydraulic oiling so energy consumption is low.
The motor inside a mechanical press brake operates via a motor. This motor spins an enormous flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls the flywheel via a clutch. A clutch then sets the other parts in motion and bends the metal. The mechanical press brake, with its electronic controls, is much simpler and makes maintenance and operation simple. A mechanical press brake can handle tonnages that are two to three times larger than their intrinsic rating due to its design. The downside to using mechanical press brakes, however, is that the machine's ram must complete its full cycle before it can be reversed. The operator can make mistakes, which could lead to safety concerns. A potential danger is that the press brake may become locked if it travels too far.
A press brake that is well-built will require heavy-duty lower beams. Standard brakes come with a groove at the center of their bed that can hold American-style tools. Standard brakes have the lowest amount of deflection. A press brake with lower deflection will have a longer Tool & Machine Life.
Our Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder Hydraulic Press Brakes use the CNC technology system-the Computerized Numeric Control. This is the latest technological advancement for Press Brake designs. Our dual bending machines operate solely on electricity because they are run by Servo Electric. They don't require hydraulic oiling. Their energy consumption and maintenance are minimal.
It offers raw power, heavy-duty performance in bending, and improved technology, all in a cost-effective package.
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.
Standard Industrial press brakes are able to handle full tonnage across the stroke as well as the entire length and breadth of the bed or ram. Standard Industrial presses brakes offer a greater repeatability than dual-cylinder brakes which have complicated hydraulic systems that balance their tonnage. Competitor presses require a lot of labor and parts throughout the lifetime of the machine. Companies pay high prices for parts and labor that are only available from one manufacturer.

A crowning unit might be useful for certain applications, such as multiple die sets that are used in one stroke or a larger brake that forms a large range of materials.

Standard Industrial offers a range of CNC gauging, including a simple, single-line display, user-friendly controls and state-of-the-art 2D and 3-D modeling. The press brake does not come standard with any backgauge or CNC control. You can find a complete range of systems in our separate CNC Controls and Gauging catalog.
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.
Five Types of Hydraulic Presses: Why You Need Them
Three main CNC-controlled axes are located at the top of a modern CNC press brake. These include the control over the bending and back gauges, as well as the control of various productivity options.
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 presses can be used for forging and clinching, moulding blanking, punching as well as metal forming operations like deep drawing and blanking. Hydraulic presses can also be used for rubber pad forming and powder compacting.
