There are two ways press brakes can bend metal. The first is called bottom bending because the ram will press the metal to the bottom of the die. Bottom bending results in highly accurate bends and relies less on the press brake machine itself. The downside is each tool is they're made to create one specific bend, so you’ll need to purchase a new one for every angle you want to make. Air bending leaves an air pocket between the ram and the bottom of the die. This allows the operator to accommodate for any spring back the material might provide. These types of dies only need to be changed if the material’s thickness is too much. Air bending’s drawback is the accuracy of the angle is affected by the material’s thickness, so the ram needs to be changed out accordingly.
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.
Consider all of the machine capabilities above combined with our industry-leading service (on average 2 1/2 service techs per salesperson), our well staffed emergency service line and a parts section that will blow your mind. We also have the tools to build your press brake. With all the tools available, our factory-trained Wilson and Wila experts are certified.
Air bending allows sheet metal to bend by using the edges of the V and the end of the punch. This type of bending creates a spring back effect on the work piece. The bending force of the sheet is less so the metal sheet will spring backwards when the punch is removed.
Whether you need the precision and detail of computer-controlled measurements or you want to keep it simple with no-nonsense bends, Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co offers two great options for hydraulic press brakes in various sizes, all at affordable prices.

This game-changing tool changer offers real-time info that will help any press brake operator perform more effectively.
Standard Industrial provides on-site labor to resolve any issues that may arise within the first five year. This warranty is applicable to three shifts per 24 hours.
A Mitsubishi automatic tool changer (ATC), fitted to a press brake, stands out in many ways.
High productivity, heavy-duty bending performance, and intuitive operation – all in a cost-efficient package
Ranging from entry-level hydraulic all the way up to heavy-duty, fully customized solutions that cover any of your requirements for sheet metal forming, these press brakes represent the apex of pounds-to-performance for industrial bending.
Before choosing your press brake type, you should first determine the metal you want (stainless or 16 gauge mild, etc.).
The possibilities are unlimited with our top end precision press brakes that feature, better controls, more axes, faster setups, faster part production, large daylight openings and large working areas. Features include a stable and fast AC servo motor-driven back gauge system and outboard mounted long ram guides (which provide stability while allowing full length between the frames for acute angle bending).
There are many options, but we won't be able to list them all. If you don't find what you need, ask us. Safety is our top priority. The AKAS-LC laser safety system is considered the best for a press brake. Combination machines require light curtain sick C 4000. Additional axis available up to 14. Extended travel back gauge up to 39 inches with safety curtain. Motorized height adjustment for sheet follower. Delem (DA69T), Cybelec (10S-12S,15S), 3D with PC1200) updated cnc controllers Quick release clamping and hydraulic clamping, Wila Wilson mechanical or hydraulic clamping. Tooling options from the "who’s who" in press brake tooling. Positioning systems for bottom tools, thickness measurement systems, and offline software for Profile-W or V-Bend.
What goes into a Piranha pressure brake? Our current models might be relatively new but we have been making press brakes for over a decade. We are proud to have created and engineered some outstanding machines like the single and dual-cylinder press braking systems that our customers still enjoy today. The U.S. steel prices were too expensive to fabricate. Our customers and dealers demanded that we build a new press brake shortly after we had stopped production. They loved the machine, and we made sure they were taken care of. They appreciated the fact that they could shop for and get service for any machine they owned in their shop.
Hydraulic brakes are more efficient than mechanical disc brakes. This means that you will need to apply less pressure to the lever for equal braking power. This allows for better modulation.
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.
If your brake pedal sinks to the floor, it could be a problem in the brake master cylinder. Either way, it is important to perform a thorough assessment. Once the problem is diagnosed, you can proceed with the repair.
The most common reason for a soft/spongy pedal is air in the brake lines. Breathing in air can cause the brake pedal to feel soft or spongy. If your brakes feel spongy or soft, it is time to flush or change the brake fluid.
You shouldn't use the clutch to turn corners. The transmission mechanism is freed by pressing the clutch, which can affect the vehicle's stability. If your vehicle is in an imbalanced position while you turn, it can lose traction. Depending on the speed, the vehicle may tip over.
