Standard is currently the manufacturer of the most variety of hydraulic presses brakes. We offer 20 models from our ADR5 axis cnc hydraulic presses brake series. These range from small press braking units that measure 4' in length to large hydraulic press braking units measuring 20' in length. ADS series premium is available with up 14 CNC axis and 32 models. These can be used to bend metal up to 26 feet 5 inches. Our ADS series machines can be customized in 13 different sizes and capacities up to 3300 tons. For those customers that need a basic press brake, we offer the PBF Series. For quiet operation and energy efficiency, the AD Servo brakes are the more sophisticated. They have a hybrid hydraulic design and ball screws. Standard introduces the FBS series, which is the "flexible-bending solutions" type of press brakes. FBS series brakes are high-tonnage press brakes that can be run in tandem or triangular mode. There is also the option to handle material automation and other handling options.
Dual Brake Master CylinderThe press brake's press force is known as the tonnage. It is used to determine the maximum pressure that can applied during the bending process.
A press brake is a machine that forms sheets of metal in long lengths. These sheets are often used in manufacturing or industrial applications. Most press brakes can be rated according to their metal pressing capacity and overall bending length. These numbers are expressed in numbers (e.g. total PPI, or pounds per inch). They can be found in many shapes and come with tools and accessories that allow for the creation of highly customized components. Two main types of press brakes are available: hydraulic and mechanical. We will discuss the differences and highlight the key features of each style in the sections that follow.
Hydraulic pressure brakes, which use hydraulics to press the ram downwards instead of relying on mechanics, apply pressure via hydraulics. You can have several cylinders and give you more control over your bend. The end result is a customizable, precise bend. However, hydraulic press brakes also have their limitations. They can't exceed the tonnage they are rated at. They may be more flexible if your project demands flexibility.
Once you have established these characteristics, then you need to calculate how much weight is required for the bending operation.
Air bending uses the punch's end and the V's edges to allow sheet metal to bent. This type bending also has a springback effect. Because the bending forces are weaker, the sheet of metal will bounce backwards much like an elastic once the punch has been removed.
"The little guys can sometimes punch well above their weight class," it is often said. This is exactly what our 4-foot small press brake does. This compact bender has a CNC controlled X-axis rear gauge, tangs which accept euro and american style toolings, LED rear working lights, two sliding front sheets supports with linear rails, dual palm/foot stations with a selector toggle, and an LED rear lighting light. You'll want to test this powerful, fast, and precise small press brake. This bend punch is unlike any other.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. carries a variety of hydraulic press brake models to suit the needs of each of our customers. Our presses come in sizes from 22 to 440 tons, and have bed lengths of 4 to 13 feet with manual or CNC controls. We can also accommodate custom orders for lengths and tons. Our press brakes come with safety devices and a safety cage at the rear that prevents the machine from being opened. This allows for simple and secure maintenance. All electrical components are made from industry-standard parts that can be found in our Memphis, TN warehouse. For more information on each model, download a pdf.
Imagine giant, intelligent, large press brakes with a vast range of tonnages, lengths, loading/unloading metal material handling and an infinite number of bending lengths. Our high tonnage mega presses brakes feature an advanced engineered technology "box-construction" frame design. This gives our mega brakes one of the strongest and most stable machines in the world. All of our references around the globe are impressed by the exceptional stability and rigidity that our large high tonnage presses brakes have, thanks to our box-construction frame design. Our high tonnage presses are designed to minimize large pieces being handled before, during, or after the bending operation. This allows for the next process to be respected.
Also, we offer a range press brakes that work with the hydraulic control system. Its bending capability is strong enough for handling large work-pieces. Due to its enormous tonnage capacity, the unit can efficiently work on thick metal materials. This range can be used in Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder format Y1+Y2. It does not require complicated operation. The Press Brakes can handle steel, brass as well metal sheets and aluminum alloys.
Standard press brakes are reliable and dependable, day after day. It is easy to use the controls, which are extremely user-friendly. Our press brakes can handle a wide variety of materials, including soft brass as well heat-treated aluminum alloys and stainless steel.
Whatever your bending needs may be, the BB series will meet them all.
This method can achieve high levels in angular precision. This method is good for sheet metal exceeding 2 mm in thickness.
The principle of Pascal's Law governs hydraulic presses. It states that pressure applied to a fluid within a fluid causes pressure changes throughout the fluid. The hydraulic press has a piston, which acts as a pump and provides a slight mechanical force to a small portion of the sample.
Air brakes are generally more efficient than hydraulic brakes. Hydraulic brakes are unable to provide the required energy to stop heavy loads. The air brakes are safer than hydraulic brakes because they will stop the wheel from spinning.
Hydraulic systems have many advantages, including power, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. They also have their drawbacks: they can leak which can make them messy and the fluids within them can be difficult to paint or seal.
Your brakes may touch the ground most often due to a problem with your brake fluid. Low fluid levels or air getting into the brake line can cause a spongy pedal. Another common reason for a pedal that isn't working properly is a bad brake booster.
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.
