Our machines are built with industry-leading production capabilities and feature intuitive operator controls that reduce stress for all skill levels.
In sheet metal work and in production plants in many industries, including the automotive and aeronautics sectors, press brakes are used.

Our manual control presses brakes can be used in jobs and industries that do not require precision or detail like CNC controls. While the manual press brakes feature the same safety features as the CNC models, they are still powerful and easy to use for simple jobs. These include a front-operated powerback-gauge and adjustable ram with digital readouts. There are also fine adjustment handwheels that allow for both. Our models are available in a range of weights, from 22 tons up to 440 tons.
Once you have established these characteristics, then you need to calculate how much weight is required for the bending operation.
Do you require a machine capable of processing and bending steel sheets? Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. offers single and dual cylinder Y1+Y2 hydraulic press brakes that can bend plates and metal sheets quickly and easily. They are strong and can easily be relied on by fabricators for different forms of bending. Hydraulic Press brakes are easy to operate. It basically means that the material being used must be attached to the bed while it descends.
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.
Ranging from entry-level hydraulic all the way up to heavy-duty, fully customized solutions that cover any of your requirements for sheet metal forming, these press brakes represent the apex of pounds-to-performance for industrial bending.
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.
In addition to their robust, industry-leading production capabilities, our machines come equipped with intuitive operator controls that take the stress out of day-to-day operation for operators of any skill level.
Optimize your workflow to reduce time, money and human effort. You can avoid costly downtime and product defect. You can fine-tune your shop to meet changing needs with unrivalled programmability, functionality and cloud-based machine insight. There is an automation solution for every challenge.
This game-changing tool changer offers real-time information to help any press brake operator perform even better.
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 dual-drive hybrid makes short work of any project with long-term, high-speed, energy-efficient operation.
Nearly all modern car crushers use hydraulic presses to crush cars. A pump pushes hydraulic fluid through large cylinders to power a large motor. Using principles of force-multiplication, a hydraulic system can generate over 2,000 psi and impart more than 150 tons of crushing force onto a pile of scrap cars.
Your car could stop if you hit the brakes and don't clutch to stop it. This is because your engine revs are collapsing. In an emergency, you will need to start your car again. This can be tedious and time-consuming.
A 10-foot press brake can be expensive.
The press brake can do tasks that would normally fall to special machines. For example, press brakes can form rods or tubes from raw materials not usually associated with sheet metal benders. You can also use press brakes to attach various types of press-fit hardware to sheet metal parts.
According to the 15th-century definition of brake, it was an instrument for crushing or pounding. The term brake became synonymous with machine, a term that was derived from machines that crushed grain and plant fibers. In its simplest form, a press brake and a pressing machine are the same thing.
