The press brake is an indispensable tool for any industrial-grade worker. Are you looking for a quality press brake to help your business run smoothly? Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co has everything your company needs to succeed.
Machines that press brake sheet metal are used to form long sheets. These sheets are commonly used in manufacturing, for industrial applications, or to make components for other devices. Most press brakes have a rating based on their pressability and their bending length. This information is expressed as numbers (e.g., total pressure per inch, or pounds of pressurized material per inch). They are available in many sizes and can often be equipped with additional tools and add-ons to make custom components. The two main types of presses brakes that you will find are hydraulic and mechanical. In the following sections, we will explain the main features and distinguish between the two types.
The package includes raw power, heavy duty bending performance, improved technology, and all this at a low price.
Standard Industrial is able to provide full-length tonnage over the entire length and has the lowest deflection. Crowning is not necessary.
We also stock a range Press Brakes that can be used with hydraulic control systems. The hydraulic control system can bend large workpieces. It is able to work efficiently with thick metal materials due to its huge tonnage. The range can operate in Single Cylinder, Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 format and doesn't require any complicated operations. Our Press Brakes are capable of processing steel, brass or metal sheets.
Support arms for heavy duty work that are quick to release. Equipped with smooth transition wheels and precision machined parts. Multiple vertical and horizontal adjustments permit precise control. This system allows for fast set-up by allowing the operator to quickly move the arms up/down/left/right. You can purchase the quick-change linear help system arms in 24- and 36 inch lengths.
This method provides a high level of angular precision.It is suitable for sheet metal over 2 mm thick.
Once you have established these characteristics, then you need to calculate how much weight is required for the bending operation.
Our manual control press brakes are great for jobs and industries that don't require as much precision and detail as CNC controls. Manual press brakes offer all the safety features found in CNC models. They are powerful machines that can be started quickly and are great for simpler jobs. The front-operated power back gauge and ram adjust have digital readouts. Fine adjustment handwheels are available for both. The range of models we offer is from 22 to 440 tonnes.
Standard Industrial offers onsite labor for any issue that arises within the first 5 years. This warranty covers 3 shifts per day and 24 hours.
With a hydraulic presse brake, it is important to produce the highest quality parts as quickly as possible. The Piranha Easy Crown system has made this even easier. It bypasses the most common problem when using a hydraulic brake: deflection.
Real-time information from this game-changing tool changer lets any press brake operator perform better.
The ADR and the ADS hydraulic press brake is as fast as it is accurate. With accuracy numbers like +- .0004 and repeatability to match, these press brakes take a back seat to no machine made anywhere. As with all the press brakes in the JMT lineup, our concept of “large strokes, high openings and deep throats is ever present in these machines, which allow the operators to make parts with larger flanges and make the removal of those parts much easier for the operator to manage. With easier quicker setups, a more operator friendly control, a press that moves at breakneck speed, the end result is more parts in the bin by the end of the shift with a higher piece to piece overall quality.
The machine will now run at constant speed. This makes aligning beams and loading and unloading tools easier.
The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
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.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
How does a hydraulic press brake work? Hydraulic press brakes use the power of a hydraulic motor, applying force to the metal and compressing it into a die that forms the shape. The shape of the die determines the final shape achieved by the metal bending process.
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.
