Warning: incorrect tonnage, which is too high or low, can cause damage or irreparable injury to your press brake. Refer to the manual or a table to calculate the weight of your press brake.
The use of press brakes is common in sheet metal and production plants in many areas, including automotive and aeronautic.
Dual Cylinder Press Brake InstallationRanging 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.
There are many options, but we won't be able to list them all. If you don't find what you need, ask us. Safety is our top priority. The AKAS-LC laser safety system is considered the best for a press brake. Combination machines require light curtain sick C 4000. Additional axis available up to 14. Extended travel back gauge up to 39 inches with safety curtain. Motorized height adjustment for sheet follower. Delem (DA69T), Cybelec (10S-12S,15S), 3D with PC1200) updated cnc controllers Quick release clamping and hydraulic clamping, Wila Wilson mechanical or hydraulic clamping. Tooling options from the "who’s who" in press brake tooling. Positioning systems for bottom tools, thickness measurement systems, and offline software for Profile-W or V-Bend.
For almost every metal fabrication shop, press brakes are essential. Although they are one the most valuable and sought-after pieces of machinery in a shop's arsenal, they are often misunderstood even by professionals. We have created this simple guide for laymen to help you understand press brakes.
The Hydraulic Press Brake's Tonnage is also known to be the Press Capacity. This determines the work-piece that can go through the Press Brake. Also, it can deliver the force necessary to bend work-pieces into specific degrees. Our Press Brakes have a tonnage range between 30 to 3000 tonnes. The bed lengths are 4 to 5 feet.
Standard currently produces the largest range of hydraulic press brakes. Our ADR 5 axis CNC hydraulic press brake series offers 20 models. They range from small press brakes that are 4 feet long to larger press brakes with bending lengths of up to 20 feet. There are 7 different tonnages, ranging in weight from 66 to 443. The ADS series, which is more advanced and comes with 14 CNC axis, has 32 models. It can bend metal from 6 feet 8 inches to 26 feet 5 inches. The ADS series machines offer top-end precision and powerful metal bending capabilities in 13 tonnages that can handle up to 3,300 tonnes. We also offer the PBF series to customers who need a simple press brake. The sophisticated AD Servo brakes, which have a combination hydraulic configuration and ball screws, are quiet and energy efficient. Standard also brings to market the FBS Series, which stands for "flexible bend solutions" press brakes. FBS series brakes can be made to high-tonnage specifications to meet customer requirements. They can run tandem or trio press brakes and have material automation and handling options.
After determining these characteristics, calculate the tonnage needed for the bending operation.
Every Standard hydraulic presse brake is checked in Rockford Illinois by our Perfect Machine Process to ensure it is ready for installation in your shop.
The ADR and the ADS hydraulic press brake is as fast as it is accurate. With accuracy numbers like +- .0004 and repeatability to match, these press brakes take a back seat to no machine made anywhere. As with all the press brakes in the JMT lineup, our concept of “large strokes, high openings and deep throats is ever present in these machines, which allow the operators to make parts with larger flanges and make the removal of those parts much easier for the operator to manage. With easier quicker setups, a more operator friendly control, a press that moves at breakneck speed, the end result is more parts in the bin by the end of the shift with a higher piece to piece overall quality.
No one can deny that press brakes make industrial-grade metalworkers' lives easier. Is your practice in need of a great press brake? Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co provides everything your business needs in order to succeed.

The disadvantages of pneumatic and hydraulic brakes They can be more expensive than a mechanical brake. The fluid used should be compatible to the brake material. Brake failure could result from brake fluid leakage. Maintenance and construction are not as easy as mechanical brakes.
Brake discs are designed to last for at least 50,000 miles, although there are many factors that can affect their lifespan. You may get as many as 80,000 miles from one set if you take care of them and drive responsibly.
4. Choose the correct upper and lower dies for your press brake toolings based on the sheet metal hardness, thickness, length, and other factors. The slot width of the lower den should be between 5-6 times and 6-8 times the thickness of a metal plate. The sheet should have a longer length.
Poor hydraulic performance can be caused by particulate contamination, water contamination and clogged filters.
Hydraulic disc brakes have the advantage of self-adjusting as they wear down. The caliper's design will allow it to retract a predetermined distance from the rotor, regardless of how worn the pads are. This is amazing, and you don't need to adjust your brakes like with mechanical pads.
