Heavy-duty, spring-loaded die clamps allow for easy, quick die changes. All American style precision and standard tooling is accepted on our machines. Wila (or the equivalent) are available to buy press brakes. European clamping methods and rapid-change powered ram clamping units are available in place of the manual system.
Before choosing a press brake, you need to first identify the type of metal that you wish to bend (stainless, 16-gauge mild steel, etc.).
Press brakes are machines that form lengths of sheet metal. These sheets are typically used in manufacturing, industrial applications, or as components for other devices. Most press brakes are rated by their capacity to press metal and their overall bending length; this is expressed in numbers (e.g., total PPI, or pounds of pressure per inch). They come in many forms and often are equipped with tooling and add-ons designed to create highly customized components. Press brakes fall into two main categories: mechanical and hydraulic. In the next sections, we’ll break down the difference and explain the prominent features of each style.
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.
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.
What goes into a Piranha presses brake? Our current models are quite new, but we have been manufacturing press brakes since 1998. We created and engineered great machines such as the single-cylinder, dual-cylinder presses that are still loved by our customers today. But the high cost of steel in U.S. fabrication was prohibitive. After we stopped producing, customers and dealers started asking us to rebuild a press brake. They liked the machine and they appreciated how well we looked after them. They loved having one location where they could purchase or receive service for any equipment they have in their shop.
Our top-end precision press brakes offer a wide range of features, including better controls, more parts production, larger daylight openings, and greater work areas. The features include an AC servo motor-driven, stable back gauge system with long ram guides that are mounted on the outside of the frame. These guides provide stability and allow for full length between frames to allow for acute angle bending.
Hydraulic presse brakes are great for heavy-duty tasks and can be customized to suit any customer's needs.
To save time, money, effort, and labor, optimize your workflow. Avoid costly downtimes and product problems by actively preventing them. With unrivalled functionality and programmability as well as real-time cloud-based machine intelligence, fine tune your shop to meet your day's needs. No matter what the challenge may be, automation can help.
It's finally possible to find a high-quality, durable press brake solution that is both simple to use, and easy to love.
Bottom bending is when the punch curves the sheet of metal with a higher force than air bending. This reduces, or even eliminates, the spring back effect that is commonly associated with airbending. Cold forging is then performed at the bottom.
High-speed hydraulics packages can enhance press brakes to increase productivity. A system's oil cooler maintains proper temperature and increases system life expectancy. For custom systems, or for systems that meet your specific needs, please contact us.
These work support arms are heavy-duty and quick-releasing. They have smooth transition rollers, precision machined ways and are very durable. Multiple horizontal and vertical adjustments allow for precise control. This system allows the operator to move the arms quickly left/right/up/down, allowing for quick set-up. You can choose between a 24-inch and 36-inch length for the quick-change linear support system arms.
Once these characteristics are determined, it is time to calculate the tonnage necessary for the bending operation.

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 disadvantages of pneumatic and hydraulic brakes They can be more expensive than a mechanical brake. The fluid used should be compatible to the brake material. Brake failure could result from brake fluid leakage. Maintenance and construction are not as easy as mechanical brakes.
According to the 15th-century definition of brake, it was an instrument for crushing or pounding. The term brake became synonymous with machine, a term that was derived from machines that crushed grain and plant fibers. In its simplest form, a press brake and a pressing machine are the same thing.
Your car will struggle to stop if your speed is lower than the lowest gear. This can be avoided by pressing the clutch to ensure that the engine does not depend on the transmission. Then, start braking.
