Fast and efficient, these machines run faster, smarter, and even more reliably than their predecessors.
Hydraulic press brakes are hydraulically applied to the ram to reduce its height, rather than relying only on mechanicals. They may contain more than one cylinder, giving the operator more control over the bend. It produces a precise and configurable bend. The hydraulic press brakes are similar to mechanical presses but have some disadvantages. Hydraulic press brakes cannot exceed the rated tonnage. You may prefer mechanical press brakes if you need flexibility.
Our Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder Hydraulic Press Brakes use the CNC technology system-the Computerized Numeric Control. This is the latest technological advancement for Press Brake designs. Our dual bending machines operate solely on electricity because they are run by Servo Electric. They don't require hydraulic oiling. Their energy consumption and maintenance are minimal.
All of these outstanding machine capabilities are combined with industry-recognized service (we average 2 and 1/2 service technicians for every salesperson), a well-staffed emergency number, and a parts division that will blow you away. If your initial investment involves tooling up your presses brake, we also have that covered. We are Wila and Wilson certified tooling professionals with the tools that you need.
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.
No matter what kind of bending you need, our BH series will be there to meet your needs.
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.
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.
A press brake is a machine tool used for bending metal parts and sheets up to 20 mm thick. It is composed of a V-shaped or U-shaped die (depending on the desired bending shape) and a punch. The material to be bent is placed on the die and pressed by the punch which then bends the sheet to the selected degree.
Press brakes are a necessity to almost any metal fabrication shop. Unfortunately, despite being one of the most important and desired pieces of machinery in a shop, they’re still misunderstood—even by professionals. To help you better understand press brakes, we put together this short, layman’s-level guide.

The CNC technology system-the Computerized Numeric Control, is used to create our single and dual cylinder Hydraulic Press Brakes. Our advanced dual bending machines work solely electrically because they are run on Servo Electric systems. They don't need hydraulic oiling and require minimal energy.
Our Servo Hydraulic Pressbrakes are powerful, efficient metal benders that consume as little as 66% power in standby mode and as much energy during the bending cycle. The servo brakes' ram movement is controlled by AC Servo "electrical" motors which drive hydraulic oil "on request" using variable speed pumps. Our highly advanced technology allows for a much lower cost per piece. It synchronizes hydraulic oil with electric power and electronics when needed. It is hard to find a more quiet, energy-efficient and accurate press brake.
This dual-drive hybrid makes short work of any project with long term, high speed, energy-efficient 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 CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.
Five Types of Hydraulic Presses: Why You Need Them
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.
With about 70 lbs, the average person can push on the brake pedal. You can apply the brake pedal with about 70 lbs. To stop a moving vehicle disc brakes require 800-1200 psi at their calipers. All parts of the system amplify the force you apply to the pedal.
