High productivity, heavy-duty bent performance, and intuitive operations all in one package.
The first generation of press brakes had only one axis that could bend. These machines were far less flexible than modern machines that have 12 or more programmable movement axes. Modern presses brakes are extremely precise and can create visual representations of the final result to assist the operator. The setup time has been greatly reduced by modern computers. These computers can quickly determine the optimal settings based upon materials used, their dimensions, and desired results. Back in the day, these calculations were done manually.
Once these characteristics have been determined, you must then calculate the tonnage required for the bending operation.
The possibilities are unlimited with our top end precision press brakes that feature, better controls, more axes, faster setups, faster part production, large daylight openings and large working areas. Features include a stable and fast AC servo motor-driven back gauge system and outboard mounted long ram guides (which provide stability while allowing full length between the frames for acute angle bending).
Our CNC control hydraulic press brakes offer users the ability to tackle any project with precision, speed, and volume. These machines can handle the most demanding jobs with impeccable details. The capability to use a removable USB drive means that additional program storage is virtually limitless. Other key features include:
Press brakes were limited to making bends using one axis. They were more limited than modern machines that can program 12 or more movement axes. Modern press brakes have high precision and produce graphical representations to aid the operator. Setup time is significantly reduced with newer computers. They can quickly calculate the optimal settings according to materials, dimensions, and the desired result. These calculations were once done manually.
Ranging 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.
Our BB series has the right bending tools for you.
Nearly every metal fabrication shop needs a press brake. Despite being one of the most vital pieces of machinery within a shop, press brakes are still misunderstood by even professionals. This short guide will help you understand presses brakes.
And then there are the BH series “hybrid” press brakes that prove once and for all that not all hybrid press brakes are created equal. These third-generation machines utilize their patented dual-drive design to bring you the best of both hydraulic and electric bending worlds: productivity, precision, high-speed movement, reliability, and superior energy savings—even when compared to other hydraulic, hybrid, and even electric pulley-style press brakes.
Our CNC hydraulic press brakes offer a high level of precision and are highly value-oriented. They feature large strokes and daylights as well as deep throats. This allows for the production of simple and complex shapes, which require large dimensions to be easily handled and removed. A simple cnc control makes it easier for operators to operate. The price is right for a press brake of such high quality.
Press brakes are used in sheet metal work and production plants in many fields, such as the automotive and aeronautic sectors.
The BH series "hybrid” press brakes show that not all hybrid brakes are equal. These machines, which are third-generation, feature their patented dual drive design. It allows for superior productivity, precision, reliability, energy savings, and high-speed movement.
It is said that the "little guys" sometimes punch higher than their weight classes. Our small, 4-foot press brake is an example of this. The compact bender includes a CNC-controlled X-axis back gauge, tangs capable of accepting euro or american tooling, an LED rear working light and two front sheet supports that slide with a linear rail. There is also a dual palm/foot station equipped with a selector switch. This small, powerful and precise press brake packs a punch.
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.
Modern manual transmissions can be used to skip gears while going up or lower. You can, for example, change the gears when you accelerate. However, 3rd may be slower due to low engine revs.
Your brakes may touch the ground most often due to a problem with your brake fluid. Low fluid levels or air getting into the brake line can cause a spongy pedal. Another common reason for a pedal that isn't working properly is a bad brake booster.
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.
Three main CNC-controlled axes are located at the top of a modern CNC press brake. These include the control over the bending and back gauges, as well as the control of various productivity options.
