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.
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.
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.
Single Cylinder Press Brake InstallationBefore 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).
Standard is supported in every way possible by a diverse group of industry professionals. These include product specialists, experienced service engineers, sales advisors, and product specialists. JMT also boasts a parts and tooling department, which will keep your machines performing at their best.
You are looking for the perfect combination of serious bend power and cost-efficient operation with no compromises on quality or output.
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.
Hydraulic press braking is ideal for heavy-duty jobs and can easily be customized to handle the most varied customer forms, such as long lengths, tandems, high tonnage, and everything else in between.
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.
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.
The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
Hydraulic presses brakes can be used to bend or fold metal by pressing it into dies. These presses can be used for both sheet metal work and continuous production. These presses can handle difficult industrial production jobs, from single-cycle operations to automated components.
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.
Hydraulic brakes use brake fluid within sealed tubing between the lever and caliper. This fluid is usually either DOT fluid, or mineral oil/fluid. Both fluids can cause contamination over time so it is important to flush the system and have fluid changed periodically.
