In the beginning, press brakes could only bend with one axis. They were less versatile than modern machines which have twelve or more programmable movements. Modern press brakes can be extremely precise and provide visual representations of final results to aid operators. Modern computers also make it much easier to set up. The computers are able to quickly calculate the best settings based on the materials being used and its dimensions. These calculations used to have to be done manually back in the day.
Our BB series has the right bending tools for you.
Our press brakes can streamline your workflow, improve production speeds, reduce energy consumption, and lower operating costs. Our presses have capacities ranging from 40-to 2,000-ton and can be equipped with between 3 and 11 different axes. They also include tool layout, collision checks, back gauge editing, and DiamondSoft(r), software with auto-tooling.
The PA Plus series offers both functionality and versatility in a single package. The PA Plus series offers a variety of accessories that can be used to create a custom solution.
Once these characteristics are determined, it is time to calculate the tonnage necessary for the bending operation.
The CNC hydraulic press brakes we are most known for have a large stroke, daylight, and throat depth. This allows us to cost effectively produce simple to complex shapes. The operator skill level is reduced by the easy-to-use cnc controller. For the price, you won't find any better press brake!
                                            
                                            No matter your bending needs, the BB Series is there to help.
Press brakes were limited to making bends using one axis. They were more limited than modern machines that can program 12 or more movement axes. Modern press brakes have high precision and produce graphical representations to aid the operator. Setup time is significantly reduced with newer computers. They can quickly calculate the optimal settings according to materials, dimensions, and the desired result. These calculations were once done manually.
Before choosing your press brake type, you should first determine the metal you want (stainless or 16 gauge mild, etc.).
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.
                                            Whether you need the precision and detail of computer-controlled measurements or you want to keep it simple with no-nonsense bends, Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co offers two great options for hydraulic press brakes in various sizes, all at affordable prices.

Hydraulic press brakes can be used for heavy-duty work. They can also be customized to meet customer requirements, from high tonnage to long-length tandems and everything in-between.
"The accuracy and repeatability of the work are amazing. I ran one job for five straight days. There was no difference between day one and day five. This combined with the shorter setup time results in higher profitability.
Bottom bending involves bending the metal sheet using a punch with a force that is 3 to 5 times stronger than air bending. This decreases or prevents the springback effect commonly associated with airbending. This begins with air bending and continues at the bottom with cold forging.
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.
