Dual Cylinder Press Brake Guarding Systems

Pressure

The 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Add to that the incredible machine capabilities mentioned above, and you will be amazed at what we can do for you. If you are looking to upgrade your press brake or make an initial investment, we can help. We have the tools you need and are factory-trained Wilson and Wila tooling experts.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.

Your car could stop if you hit the brakes and don't clutch to stop it. This is because your engine revs are collapsing. In an emergency, you will need to start your car again. This can be tedious and time-consuming.

Hydraulic presses can be used for forging and clinching, moulding blanking, punching as well as metal forming operations like deep drawing and blanking. Hydraulic presses can also be used for rubber pad forming and powder compacting.

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.
