Tonnage refers to the press force applied by the brake. It is the pressure that can apply to the punch during the bending operation.
Real-time information from this game-changing tool changer lets any press brake operator perform better.
Before you choose your press brake, it is important to know what type of metal you are going to be bending (stainless steel or 16 gauge mild steel).
Gulf States Saw & Machine has the right tools for you, whether you need precise computer-controlled measurement or simple, no-nonsense bends. Co offers hydraulic press brakes of varying sizes in two excellent options. All at an affordable price. For a quote on a machine, contact our team today.
Our CNC control hydraulic brakes provide users with the ability of tackling any project with precision speed and volume. These machines can handle even the most complex jobs with great detail. A removable USB drive can be used to store more programs. The following are key features:
You get raw power, heavy-duty bend performance, and better technology all in one cost-effective package.
Warning: Incorrect tonnage (too low or too high) can cause damage to your press brake and the part you are bent. Refer to the operating manual for details on how to calculate the tonnage of the press brake.
In sheet metal work and in production plants in many industries, including the automotive and aeronautics sectors, press brakes are used.
ADR hydraulic press brake and ADS hydraulic pressure brake are equally fast as they are accurate. These press brakes have a superior accuracy of +-.0004 and a repeatability that is second to none. Our concept of "large strokes", high openings, deep throats and high pressure is present in all JMT press presses. This allows the operators to create parts with larger flanges. It also makes it much simpler to remove those parts. Operators will find it easier to setup and control the press at a quicker pace. The end result is more parts in their bins by the end, which means a higher level of quality.
It’s been said that "the little guys sometimes punch well above their weight class." Such is the case with our small 4 foot press brake. This compact bender comes standard with a CNC controlled X axis back gauge, tangs that accept euro or american style tooling, LED rear working light, two sliding front sheet supports with a linear rail, and a dual palm/foot station with a selector switch. You for sure are going to want to check out this new powerful, fast and accurate small press brake that packs a bend "punch" like no other.
It offers raw power, heavy-duty performance in bending, and improved technology, all in a cost-effective package.
As part of our Perfect Machine Process, every Standard hydraulic press brake is rigorously inspected in our Rockford, Illinois, facility so that it’s ready for seamless installation in your shop.
Our single cylinder and dual cylinder hydraulic press brakes are made using the CNC technology system, the Computerized Numeric Control. It is the most recent technological advance in Press Brake design and employs a blaster system to remove rust from work-piece surfaces. The advanced dual bending machines we offer are powered by Servo Electric and operate entirely electrically. They do not require hydraulic oiling so energy consumption is low.
Air bending is done by bending sheet metal at the ends of the punch and 2 edges of V. This type of bend also creates a spring effect in the work piece. Because the bending force in this case is weaker, the metal sheet can spring backwards as if it were elastic.
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.
The bending length of the press brake should be slightly longer than the sheets you wish to bend. The press brake can become damaged or destroyed if it isn't the right size.
Material Type and Thickness Maximum Material Length. Complexity of bends. Accuracy of Bend. Per day, number of parts required. Each day, there are approximately 2,000 parts/tooling changes. Level of skill for press brake operator.
The press brake can do tasks that would normally fall to special machines. For example, press brakes can form rods or tubes from raw materials not usually associated with sheet metal benders. You can also use press brakes to attach various types of press-fit hardware to sheet metal parts.
The press brake works by using a punch or die to bend or cut metal in a variety shapes and forms.
