Finally, a heavy-duty press brake solution that is both easy to use and easy to love, it is now easier than ever to find.
Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co is a Member of the American Welding Society, NOMMA (National Ornamental & Miscellaneous Metals Association) and the National Glass Association:
Every Standard hydraulic brake is subject to our Perfect Machine Process. Each Standard hydraulic brake is rigorously checked in Rockford Illinois before being installed in your shop.
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.
Standard currently manufactures the most extensive range of hydraulic brakes. Our ADR5 axis hydraulic press brake series includes 20 models. It ranges from small pressbrakes that measure 4 feet in length to large pressbrakes up to 20-foot in length. We also offer 7 different tonnages from 66 to440 tons. ADS series with more advanced features is available with upto 14 CNC-axis. 32 models are available with metal bending lengths ranging from 6 foot 8 inches to 26 foot 5 inch. Our ADS Series machines are high-end precision metal benders with powerful capacities up to 3.300 tons. These two most popular series of press brakes are also offered by us. We also offer the PBF range for those who require a more basic press brake. There is also the AD Servo brakes which feature a combination of hydraulic and ball screw configurations for quiet operation and energy-efficiency. Standard has also introduced the FBS series of press brakes. This stands for the flexible bending solutions. FBS series brakes for high tonnage are made to order according to customer specifications. You can have tandem, trio or even triple press brakes. Also, you have the option to use material automation and handling tools of any description.
High productivity, heavy-duty bent performance, and intuitive operations all in one package.
No matter what your bending requirements, the BH series can help you make sure power, precision and profit are always within reach.
This dual-drive hybrid can be used to quickly complete any project. It is long-term and high-speed as well as energy-efficient.
Each Standard hydraulic press brake is thoroughly checked in Rockford, Illinois as part of our Perfect Machine Process.
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.
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.
In air bending, the end of the punch and the 2 edges of the V allow the sheet metal to be bent. But this type of bending means there is a spring back effect of the work piece. As the bending force is weaker, the metal sheet springs backwards like an elastic when the punch is removed.
We offer press brakes that can help streamline your workflow, increase production speeds, optimize energy consumption and reduce operating costs. Our press brakes range from 40- to 2,000-ton capacities with anywhere between 3 and 11 axes, featuring tool layout, collision check, bend reports, back gauge editing and DiamondSoft® software with auto tooling.
The principle of Pascal's Law governs hydraulic presses. It states that pressure applied to a fluid within a fluid causes pressure changes throughout the fluid. The hydraulic press has a piston, which acts as a pump and provides a slight mechanical force to a small portion of the sample.
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.
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.
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.
There are two types of primary press brakes: electronic and hydraulic. Hydraulic presses brakes are the most common and oldest type of press brakes. Hydraulic press brakes are capable of handling the most difficult workloads.
