The press brake is an indispensable tool for any industrial-grade worker. Are you looking for a quality press brake to help your business run smoothly? Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co has everything your company needs to succeed.
Before choosing your press brake, you must first know the type of metal you want to bend (stainless steel, 16 gauge mild steel, etc.)
Hydraulic Brake PressBottom bending refers to the way the punch bends the metal sheet. It uses a greater force (3 to 5-times greater than airbending) and reduces or completely eliminates the spring back effect of air bending. This process involves air bending followed by cold forging at bottom of V.
It’s been said that "the little guys sometimes punch well above their weight class." Such is the case with our small 4 foot press brake. This compact bender comes standard with a CNC controlled X axis back gauge, tangs that accept euro or american style tooling, LED rear working light, two sliding front sheet supports with a linear rail, and a dual palm/foot station with a selector switch. You for sure are going to want to check out this new powerful, fast and accurate small press brake that packs a bend "punch" like no other.
This method can achieve high levels in angular precision. This method is good for sheet metal exceeding 2 mm in thickness.
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.
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.
The game-changing tool allows press brake operators to improve their performance by receiving real-time data.
Gulf States Saw & Machine has the right tools for you, whether you need precise computer-controlled measurement or simple, no-nonsense bends. Co offers hydraulic press brakes of varying sizes in two excellent options. All at an affordable price. For a quote on a machine, contact our team today.

A press brake fitted with a Mitsubishi automatic tool changer (ATC) stands out in all kinds of ways.
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.
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.
The press brake is usually narrow and long, so large sheets of sheet metal can easily be bent by it. The press brake bends sheet steel by placing a punch on sheet metal placed on top of a tool. A press brake can bend the metal several times until it reaches the desired shape.
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.
Material Type and Thickness Maximum Material Length. Complexity of bends. Accuracy of Bend. Per day, number of parts required. Each day, there are approximately 2,000 parts/tooling changes. Level of skill for press brake operator.
