The Hydraulic Press Brake's tonnage, also known by the Press Capacity, determines the work-piece size that can be processed. A press brake can also deliver the unit force measurement. This is what bends work-pieces into the desired/specific degrees. The tonnage range for our Press Brakes ranges between 30 tons and 3000 tons. While the bed lengths range from 4 feet to almost 30 feet, they can accommodate up to 30 tons.
When calculating the margin, other elements must be considered, such as thickness of punch blade, fold length, and opening of V.
Dual Cylinder Press Brake DieNext, you'll need to determine which characteristics must be considered when calculating the part bend. These characteristics include:
A press brake fitted with a Mitsubishi automatic tool changer (ATC) stands out in all kinds of ways.
A range of Press Brakes are also available that use the hydraulic control system. Its high bending strength allows it to handle thick workpieces. It can work with any thickness of metal due to its high tonnage. The range can be configured in Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder formats Y1+Y2 and does not require complex operation. Our Press Brakes can process steel, brass and metal sheets as well as aluminum alloys.
Our manual control press brakes are great for jobs and industries that don't require as much precision and detail as CNC controls. Manual press brakes offer all the safety features found in CNC models. They are powerful machines that can be started quickly and are great for simpler jobs. The front-operated power back gauge and ram adjust have digital readouts. Fine adjustment handwheels are available for both. The range of models we offer is from 22 to 440 tonnes.
Metal can be bent by press brakes in two ways. Bottom bending refers to pressing the metal to the bottom. Bottom bending produces precise bends and requires less work from the press brake machine. However, each tool can only create one type of bend so you will have to purchase a new tool for every angle. When air bending is done, there's an air pocket between your ram and the die. This allows the operator adjust to any spring back that the material may provide. These dies do not need to be altered if the material's thickness exceeds a certain limit. Air bending has one drawback: the accuracy of the angle is affected due to the material's thickness. The ram should be adjusted accordingly.
Searching for the perfect blend of serious bending power and cost-efficient operation that doesn’t sacrifice quality or output?
A Mitsubishi automatic tools changer (ATC), equipped with a press brake stands out in many ways.
PBF value series CNC brake press line manufactured for high performance to price ratio. We offer our lowest priced brake press line in 3 popular models to choose from. Each is equipped with our Easy Bend CNC controller which is easy to learn in 5 minutes or less using a simplified display with less buttons, more productive with enter & go specifications for desired angles, no programming required, USB interface for backups, easy shifting to CNC advantage controller by plug in giving brake operators more effective and basic control than a conventional brake press. Keeping metal bending simple at a price you can afford.
For industries and jobs that don’t require the detail and precision achieved with CNC controls, our manual control press brakes offer ease of use when you’re looking to keep things simple. The manual press brakes have all the same safety features of the CNC models, manual press brakes are powerful machines that are easy to get started on and great for more straightforward jobs. They include a front-operated power back-gauge and ram adjust with digital readouts and fine adjustment handwheels for both. Our models range from 22 tons to 440 tons.
Whatever your bending needs, our BB series is here to make sure that power, precision, and profit are never far away.
Mechanical press brakes operate via a motor inside the device. This motor spins a large flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls the flywheel through a clutch, which then sets the rest of the parts into motion to bend the metal. The mechanical press brake is much more straightforward, especially regarding its electronics, making maintenance and operation easy. They can also handle tonnages two to three times higher than their inherent rating, due to the nature of the mechanisms. The primary disadvantage of using mechanical press brakes is that the ram inside the machine must complete a full cycle when engaged and cannot be reversed. This creates some safety concerns if the operator makes a mistake and sets some limitations on the machine. One possible hazard is the potential for the press brake to become locked if the ram travels too far.
Our Servo Hydraulic Press Brakes are powerful efficient metal benders with up to 66% lower power consumption during stand by and 44% lower energy use during the bending cycle. Ram movement on our servo brakes is powered by AC Servo "electric" motors driving hydraulic oil "on demand" in line with variable speed pumps. Our servo press brake achieves a significantly lower cost per part by using our highly sophisticated advanced technology that synchronizes the powerful forces of electronics, electric power and hydraulics only when it's needed. You won't find a quieter, more energy efficient or more accurate press brake anywhere.
Crowning is the method by which press brakes correct for deflections in both the upper beam or lower bed when pressure applies. There are different methods, depending on the model and make of the press brake.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
Nearly all modern car crushers use hydraulic presses to crush cars. A pump pushes hydraulic fluid through large cylinders to power a large motor. Using principles of force-multiplication, a hydraulic system can generate over 2,000 psi and impart more than 150 tons of crushing force onto a pile of scrap cars.
To pump hydraulic fluid into the system, pressure is applied by hand. The pressure is transferred to another area, and the resultant force can reach 25 tons.
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.
