Your workflow can be optimized to reduce costs, time and effort. You can prevent downtime and product issues by being proactive. Shops can be fine-tuned to meet customer needs. Whatever your challenge, there is an automation solution.
Then you will need to determine the particular characteristics to be taken into account when calculating the part bend. This includes, for example:
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.
Combine those outstanding machine capabilities listed above and then consider this; with our industry renowned service (we average 2 ½ service technicians to every salesperson), our well-staffed emergency service line, and a parts department that would blow your mind. If your initial investment includes tooling up your press brake, we have you covered there as well. We are factory trained and certified Wila and Wilson tooling experts with the tools on the shelf.
The motor inside a mechanical press brake operates via a motor. This motor spins an enormous flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls the flywheel via a clutch. A clutch then sets the other parts in motion and bends the metal. The mechanical press brake, with its electronic controls, is much simpler and makes maintenance and operation simple. A mechanical press brake can handle tonnages that are two to three times larger than their intrinsic rating due to its design. The downside to using mechanical press brakes, however, is that the machine's ram must complete its full cycle before it can be reversed. The operator can make mistakes, which could lead to safety concerns. A potential danger is that the press brake may become locked if it travels too far.
There are also the BH series "hybrid", which proves once again that not all hybrid press braking systems are created equal. These machines are the third generation and feature a dual-drive design that combines hydraulic and electric bending. They offer superior productivity, precision and reliability and energy savings.
Hydraulic pressure brakes, which use hydraulics to press the ram downwards instead of relying on mechanics, apply pressure via hydraulics. You can have several cylinders and give you more control over your bend. The end result is a customizable, precise bend. However, hydraulic press brakes also have their limitations. They can't exceed the tonnage they are rated at. They may be more flexible if your project demands flexibility.
It has been said, "The little guys sometimes punch well beyond their weight class." Our 4 foot small press brake proves this. This compact bender features a CNC controlled back gauge on the X axis, tangs for euro or american style toolsing, an LED rear light, two sliding front supports with a line rail and a dual station with a palm/foot switch. This compact, precise small press brake is sure to impress.
A fully automated press brake system can help relieve pressure on production lines if deadlines and timelines are pressing. How do you make it work?
Consider all of the machine capabilities above combined with our industry-leading service (on average 2 1/2 service techs per salesperson), our well staffed emergency service line and a parts section that will blow your mind. We also have the tools to build your press brake. With all the tools available, our factory-trained Wilson and Wila experts are certified.
This dual-drive hybrid allows for quick and efficient project management with long-term, high speed, energy-efficient operation.
Warning: incorrect tonnage (too high or low) can damage your press brake or the part you are bending. To calculate the tonnage of your press brake, refer to the operating manual or a tonnage table.
Hydraulic press brakes can be used for heavy-duty work. They can also be customized to meet customer requirements, from high tonnage to long-length tandems and everything in-between.
In bottom bending, the punch curves the metal sheet with a high force (3 to 5 times greater than air bending) which reduces or even prevents the spring back effect generally associated with air bending. The process begins with air bending then continues with cold forging carried out at the bottom of the V.
Hydraulic brakes are more efficient than mechanical disc brakes. This means that you will need to apply less pressure to the lever for equal braking power. This allows for better modulation.
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.
You're putting unnecessary strain on your clutch by leaving your car in gear at red lights. It is better to place your car in neutral, and then apply the handbrake to keep the vehicle stationary. The clutch will not be damaged if you keep your car in neutral.
A hydraulic press can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $5 million depending on its capabilities and age.
Hydraulic press machines have two main benefits: They reduce weight and allow for material conversation. Lower cost molds and a reduced number of parts. Production and initial costs are low. Capacity to handle high tonnage. It is safer than Mechanical presses. Overload protection built-in Less noise. More items.
