The press force of the presses brake is called the tonnage. It controls the amount of pressure that the punch can exert during the bending operation.
It's obvious that press brakes can be a very useful tool for industrial-grade metalworkers. Do you need a press brake for your business? Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co offers everything you need to make your business a success.
“The accuracy and repeatability are outstanding. I had one job running for five days straight—there was no difference from the first part bent on day one to the last part bent on day five. All of this plus the reduced setup time translates into higher profitability.”
No matter your bending need, our BH Series is there to help.
It offers raw power, heavy-duty performance in bending, and improved technology, all in a cost-effective package.
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.
Our Servo Hydraulic Pressbrakes are powerful, efficient metal benders that consume as little as 66% power in standby mode and as much energy during the bending cycle. The servo brakes' ram movement is controlled by AC Servo "electrical" motors which drive hydraulic oil "on request" using variable speed pumps. Our highly advanced technology allows for a much lower cost per piece. It synchronizes hydraulic oil with electric power and electronics when needed. It is hard to find a more quiet, energy-efficient and accurate press brake.
A Mitsubishi automatic tools changer (ATC), equipped with a press brake stands out in many ways.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. has a wide range of hydraulic press brake models that can be used to serve the diverse needs of all the businesses we service. Our press brakes are available in sizes from 22 tons up to 440 tonnes and can have beds lengths of 4' to 13'. We are able to accommodate special length requests and specific tonnage in addition to the standard stock. For easy and safe maintenance, all of our press brakes have safety devices. All electrical components are manufactured using industry-standard parts which can be easily found in our Memphis warehouse. Get more information about each model by downloading a pdf.

This type of bend is used most frequently for sheet metalworking because it can be used with machines with reduced capacities. It is not as strong as bottom bending, which is more difficult.
The most common reason for a soft/spongy pedal is air in the brake lines. Breathing in air can cause the brake pedal to feel soft or spongy. If your brakes feel spongy or soft, it is time to flush or change the brake fluid.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
Modern manual transmissions can be used to skip gears while going up or lower. You can, for example, change the gears when you accelerate. However, 3rd may be slower due to low engine revs.

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.
