Types Of Press Brake

A one-of-a-kind technology that makes efficient, quality results available to press brake operators of all skill levels.

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.

This dual-drive hybrid makes it easy to manage any project. It has long-term, high-speed and energy-efficient operation.

Standard press brakes provide the reliability and dependability you need day in and day out. The controls are simple to use and offer a user-friendly experience. Our press brakes are capable of handling a variety of materials including soft brass and heat-treated aluminum alloys as well as stainless steel and soft aluminum.

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.

Adjust the bending angle in accordance with the metal spring back, and then calculate the margin. Accordingly, for example, 90deg bends, the punch should be reduced to 85deg.

The Hydraulic Press Brake's Tonnage (also known as the Press Capacity) is the measurement of the press brake's force. It determines the size of work-pieces that can be processed and how much pressure can be applied to them. Our Press Brakes are capable of handling tonnages ranging from 30 tons to 3000 ton. However, the bed lengths can range from 4 to nearly 30 feet.

No matter what your bending requirements, the BB series can help you. Power, precision, profit, and profit are all within reach.

A fully automated press brake system can help relieve pressure on production lines if deadlines and timelines are pressing. How do you make it work?

Before choosing your press brake type, you should first determine the metal you want (stainless or 16 gauge mild, etc.).

In addition to their robust, industry-leading production capabilities, our machines come equipped with intuitive operator controls that take the stress out of day-to-day operation for operators of any skill level.

This type is best used for sheet metal, as it's compatible with machines with lower capacities. Bottom bending requires more force.

"The accuracy and repeatability of the work are amazing. I ran one job for five straight days. There was no difference between day one and day five. This combined with the shorter setup time results in higher profitability.

There’s no denying that press brakes are one of the most useful tools an industrial-grade metalworker can have. Does your practice need an excellent press brake? Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co has everything your business needs to succeed.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
