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.).
Currently, Standard produces the widest variety of hydraulic press brakes available today. From our ADR 5 axis cnc hydraulic press brake series we offer 20 models and ranges from a small press brake that start at 4 foot in length to large press brakes up to 20 foot in bending length and 7 different tonnages ranging from 66 to 440 tons. Our premium more advanced ADS series is available with up to 14 CNC axis, comes in 32 different models with metal bending lengths of 6 foot 8 inches up to 26 foot 5 inches. Our ADS series machines are top end precision and powerful metal benders offered in 13 different tonnages with capacities of up to 3,300 tons! In addition to these two popular press brake series, we also offer the PBF series for the customer that needs a no frill press brake. On the other side of the coin is the sophisticated AD Servo brakes that have a hybrid hydraulic configuration and ball screws for energy efficiency and quiet operation. Lastly, Standard brings to market the FBS series which equates to the “flexible bending solutions” press brakes. Our FBS series brakes are typically high tonnage press brakes made to order to customer exact specifications with the option of running tandem or even trio press brakes, and material automation and handling options of every description.
Hydraulic Press Brake Machine FunctionBottom bending is when the punch curves the sheet of metal with a higher force than air bending. This reduces, or even eliminates, the spring back effect that is commonly associated with airbending. Cold forging is then performed at the bottom.
The machine runs on a double-axis back gauge system. It can also perform automated bending step calculation. These servoelectric Press Brakes are precise and easy to use.
All this in a very cost-effective package.
Air bending uses the punch's end and the V's edges to allow sheet metal to bent. This type bending also has a springback effect. Because the bending forces are weaker, the sheet of metal will bounce backwards much like an elastic once the punch has been removed.
                                            
                                            A Mitsubishi automatic changer (ATC), fitted with a press brake is a unique piece of equipment.
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.
"The little guys can sometimes punch well above their weight class," it is often said. This is exactly what our 4-foot small press brake does. This compact bender has a CNC controlled X-axis rear gauge, tangs which accept euro and american style toolings, LED rear working lights, two sliding front sheets supports with linear rails, dual palm/foot stations with a selector toggle, and an LED rear lighting light. You'll want to test this powerful, fast, and precise small press brake. This bend punch is unlike any other.
A Mitsubishi automatic tool changer (ATC), fitted to a press brake, stands out in many ways.
                                            A fully automated press brake solution can reduce the stress on your production lines, and help you to keep your mind and your business in check. But how can this be done?
Next, determine the specific characteristics that must be taken into consideration when calculating the bend. You will need to consider the following:
Then you will need to determine the particular characteristics to be taken into account when calculating the part bend. This includes, for example:
Real-time information from this game-changing tool changer lets any press brake operator perform better.
Hydraulic brakes use brake fluid within sealed tubing between the lever and caliper. This fluid is usually either DOT fluid, or mineral oil/fluid. Both fluids can cause contamination over time so it is important to flush the system and have fluid changed periodically.
Rare earth magnets can withstand pressures up to 9,000 lbs per square inch, but not for what you might think. The Internet has seen hydraulic presses crush things for a while.
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.
Finally, a neodymium magnetic magnet beat a hydraulic press.
Hydraulic systems have many advantages, including power, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. They also have their drawbacks: they can leak which can make them messy and the fluids within them can be difficult to paint or seal.
