The first generation of press brakes had only one axis that could bend. These machines were far less flexible than modern machines that have 12 or more programmable movement axes. Modern presses brakes are extremely precise and can create visual representations of the final result to assist the operator. The setup time has been greatly reduced by modern computers. These computers can quickly determine the optimal settings based upon materials used, their dimensions, and desired results. Back in the day, these calculations were done manually.
High productivity, heavy duty bending performance, intuitive operation - all in one cost-efficient package
Press brakes are used in sheet metal work and production plants in many fields, such as the automotive and aeronautic sectors.
Heavy-duty, spring-loaded die clamps allow for easy, quick die changes. Our machines can accept precision and American style tooling. Wila (or a similar) is also available for purchase in press brakes. European clamping and style rapid change powered Ram clamping devices.
Standard is supported by an ever expanding team of industry professionals, which includes experienced application engineers, product specialists, sales consultants and skilled service engineers. JMT also has a resourceful parts and tooling department to keep your machines working at optimal performance at all times.
Think gigantically large, highly intelligent press brakes. They can be loaded/unloaded with metal material handling systems and have an endless range of tonnages and bending lengths. Our high-tonnage mega press brakes use advanced engineered technology "box structure" frame design which gives them the most stable machine body. Referees from around the globe have praised our high-tonnage press brakes for their unmatched stability and rigidity. The high tonnage press brake focuses on handling large work pieces prior to, during and following the bending operation. It also respects the next process.
The PA Plus series offers both functionality and versatility in a single package. The PA Plus series offers a variety of accessories that can be used to create a custom solution.
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.
Warning! Incorrect tonnage can damage your press brakes or the parts you are bending. Refer to the operator manual or to a tonnage tables to determine the tonnage on your press brake.
These heavy-duty material assistance are controlled by a CNC controller. The ram movement will cause the heavy-duty material to rise and fall. The circular arc of arms follows the part being made and is both portable and precise. This system will not only provide assistance to your operator, but will also increase the quality of your bend.
Do you need a strong and reliable machine for processing and bending metal sheets? At Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 Hydraulic Press Brakes are capable of bending metal sheets and plates without hassles. They are strong and can be relied upon by fabricators for various form bending. The operation of our Hydraulic Press Brakes is quite simple as it basically requires that the material being worked on is fastened on the bed while the ram descends on it.
The Hydraulic Press Brake's tonnage, also known by the Press Capacity, determines the work-piece size that can be processed. A press brake can also deliver the unit force measurement. This is what bends work-pieces into the desired/specific degrees. The tonnage range for our Press Brakes ranges between 30 tons and 3000 tons. While the bed lengths range from 4 feet to almost 30 feet, they can accommodate up to 30 tons.
You should also consider other factors when calculating this margin. These include the thickness of your punch blade and the length of the fold.
You can optimize and manage your workflow to save money, time, and effort. Avoid product failures and downtime by taking proactive steps to avoid them. Your shop can be tailored to meet current needs using unmatched functionality and programming capabilities. You also have access to real-time machine insights via the cloud. Automation solutions can be tailored to meet any challenge.
The press brake works by using a punch or die to bend or cut metal in a variety shapes and forms.
A press brake is a machine that bends metal parts and sheets up 20mm thick.
Your car could stop if you hit the brakes and don't clutch to stop it. This is because your engine revs are collapsing. In an emergency, you will need to start your car again. This can be tedious and time-consuming.
Poor hydraulic performance can be caused by particulate contamination, water contamination and clogged filters.
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.
