In addition to being industry-leading in production, our machines also come equipped with intuitive operator control that takes the stress out daily operation for operators of all skill levels.
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.
Made for high performance at a low price, our PBF value series CNC brake line press line is made. Three models are available from which to choose. Each brake press comes with our Easy Bend controller. It's easy to use in just 5 minutes. Maintaining metal bending at a simple price that you can afford.
A Mitsubishi automatic changer (ATC), fitted with a press brake is a unique piece of equipment.
A range of Press Brakes are also available that use the hydraulic control system. Its high bending strength allows it to handle thick workpieces. It can work with any thickness of metal due to its high tonnage. The range can be configured in Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder formats Y1+Y2 and does not require complex operation. Our Press Brakes can process steel, brass and metal sheets as well as aluminum alloys.
Hydraulic Press Brake Pump
Hydraulic press braking is ideal for heavy-duty jobs and can easily be customized to handle the most varied customer forms, such as long lengths, tandems, high tonnage, and everything else in between.
Do you need a reliable machine to bend or process metal sheets and do you want it to be strong? Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has both Single Cylinder Y1+Y2 HydraulicPressbrakes that are capable of bending steel plates and sheets. Fabricators can trust them for all forms of bending. Hydraulic Pressbrakes are simple to operate.
It is a unique technology that allows press brake operators of all skill levels to produce high quality, efficient results.
We also offer a variety of Press Brakes that are hydraulically controlled. The bending power of the brake is strong enough to handle large work-pieces. Because of its large tonnage, it can handle any thick metal material. This range is available in Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 formats. It requires minimal operation. You can use our Press Brakes to process metals such as steel, brass, metal sheets and aluminum alloys.
Automated press brakes can ease the pressure on your production line if there are deadlines or timelines that must be met. How can you do this?
Before choosing a press brake, you need to first identify the type of metal that you wish to bend (stainless, 16-gauge mild steel, etc.).
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.
Once you have established these characteristics, then you need to calculate how much weight is required for the bending operation.
Semi-trucks use compressed air for their brakes instead of hydraulic fluid. Semi-trucks have a lot of weight so they need air to brake.
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.
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.
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.
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.
