Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. stocks a variety hydraulic press brake models to fit the unique needs and requirements of the many businesses that we serve across the country. Our press brakes have sizes from 22 to 44 tons and beds from 4 to 13 inches with manual or CNC controls. We can accept custom orders and length requests for special lengths. All of our presses brakes come standard with safety devices. The rear safety cage disables the machine when the door is opened. This makes it easy to maintain and prevents accidents. All electrical parts are industry-standard and readily available at our Memphis, TN warehouse. To learn more about each model, download the pdf.
There are two ways press brakes can bend metal. The first is called bottom bending because the ram will press the metal to the bottom of the die. Bottom bending results in highly accurate bends and relies less on the press brake machine itself. The downside is each tool is they're made to create one specific bend, so you’ll need to purchase a new one for every angle you want to make. Air bending leaves an air pocket between the ram and the bottom of the die. This allows the operator to accommodate for any spring back the material might provide. These types of dies only need to be changed if the material’s thickness is too much. Air bending’s drawback is the accuracy of the angle is affected by the material’s thickness, so the ram needs to be changed out accordingly.
Although there are many options available, this list is not exhaustive. If you don’t see what you are looking for, please ask. Safety is paramount. The AKASLC, a world-class laser safety device, is at the top of our options. It is considered to be one of the best presses brakes. Light curtain Sick C4000 for combination machines. Additional axis to accommodate upto 14. With safety light curtain, extended travel back gauge can reach 39 inches Motorized height adjustment on sheet follower. Delem's DA69T or Cybelec's (10S,12S.15S,15S,3D with PC1200) are the latest cnc control controllers. Quick release clamping. Positioning systems at the bottom, thickness measurement, offline software for ProfileW and V-Bend.
Our energy-efficient, all-electric BB series press brakes come specially designed with a collection of ultra-modern, performance-enhancing features that are perfect for meeting and exceeding the demanding requirements facing today’s production machinery experts.
Adjust the bending angle in accordance with the metal spring back, and then calculate the margin. Accordingly, for example, 90deg bends, the punch should be reduced to 85deg.
The BH series hybrid press brakes prove that not all hybrid presses are created equally. The patented dual-drive design of these third-generation machines allows you to get the best of both hydraulic bending and electric bending. This is even more than other hydraulic, hybrid, or electric pulley-style presses.
The tonnage is the press force of the press brake. It determines the amount of pressure that can be applied by the punch during the bending operation.
Our press brake models offer significant advantages over other models thanks to Standard Industrial’s reputation for reliability and repeatability.
Hydraulic press brakes use hydraulic pressure to push the ram down instead of relying on mechanics. They can have multiple cylinders, which gives the operator greater control over the bend. This results in a bend that is highly customizable and precise. Hydraulic press brakes have certain disadvantages. They cannot exceed their rated tonnage. Mechanical press brakes are a good choice if your project is flexible.
Machines that press brake sheet metal are used to form long sheets. These sheets are commonly used in manufacturing, for industrial applications, or to make components for other devices. Most press brakes have a rating based on their pressability and their bending length. This information is expressed as numbers (e.g., total pressure per inch, or pounds of pressurized material per inch). They are available in many sizes and can often be equipped with additional tools and add-ons to make custom components. The two main types of presses brakes that you will find are hydraulic and mechanical. In the following sections, we will explain the main features and distinguish between the two types.
Warning! Incorrect tonnage can damage your press brakes or the parts you are bending. Refer to the operator manual or to a tonnage tables to determine the tonnage on your press brake.
The tonnage of a Hydraulic Press Brake, also known as the Press Capacity, is what determines how large a work-piece can be processed by the Press Brake. It is also the unit of force measurement that a press brake can deliver. This is what bends work pieces into desired/specific degrees. Our Press Brakes can handle tonnages from 30 to 3000 tons, while the bed lengths start at 4 feet and go up to nearly 30 feet.
Fast and efficient, these machines run faster, smarter, and even more reliably than their predecessors.
At Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co , we carry a wide variety of hydraulic press brake models to meet the unique needs of the various businesses we serve throughout the country. Our press brakes range in size from 22 tons to 440 tons and bed lengths from 4’ to 13’ with CNC or manual controls. In addition to our standard inventory, we can accommodate custom orders for specialty length requests and tonnage. All of our press brakes include safety devices and a rear safety cage that disables the machine when opened for easy and secure maintenance. All electrical components use industry-standard parts, which are readily available in our Memphis, TN warehouse. Download a pdf for more details on each model.
Hydraulic presses can be expensive and eat up a large portion of machine shop budgets of all sizes. However, choosing the lowest-cost press can lead to higher long-term costs. These are some things to keep in mind when selecting your next hydraulic press.
With about 70 lbs, the average person can push on the brake pedal. You can apply the brake pedal with about 70 lbs. To stop a moving vehicle disc brakes require 800-1200 psi at their calipers. All parts of the system amplify the force you apply to the pedal.
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.
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.
F1 brakes can be difficult because all of the driving force must be generated by the driver. There cannot be power assistance. The pedal acts almost as an on/off switch, and there is rarely any need to use gentle braking.
