A press brake machine tool is used to bend steel parts and sheets upto 20mm thick. It includes a U/V-shaped die or a punch, depending on what shape you want. The material is put on the die. The punch then presses the sheet into the desired shape.
High productivity, heavy-duty bent performance, and intuitive operations all in one package.
A press brake is a machine that bends metal parts and sheets up 20mm thick. It consists of a U-shaped or V-shaped die, depending on the desired shape of bend, and a punch. The material to bend is placed on the die, and the punch presses it to bend the sheet to the desired degree.
Flexible and reliable bending performance with patented HEXA-C® frame – all in a cost-efficient package.
The press brake is a machine that forms lengths of sheet metal. These sheets are used for manufacturing, industrial applications, and as parts of other devices. The most common press brakes are rated based on their ability to press metal and their overall length. This is expressed in numbers, such as total PPI or pounds of pressure per square inch. You can find them in many different forms. They often come with add-ons and tooling that allow you to make highly customized parts. There are two types of press brakes: hydraulic and mechanical. We'll explain each style and break down its differences in the following sections.
In air bending, the end of the punch and the 2 edges of the V allow the sheet metal to be bent. But this type of bending means there is a spring back effect of the work piece. As the bending force is weaker, the metal sheet springs backwards like an elastic when the punch is removed.
This dual-drive hybrid allows for quick and efficient project management with long-term, high speed, energy-efficient operation.
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.
Hydraulic press brakes are hydraulically applied to the ram to reduce its height, rather than relying only on mechanicals. They may contain more than one cylinder, giving the operator more control over the bend. It produces a precise and configurable bend. The hydraulic press brakes are similar to mechanical presses but have some disadvantages. Hydraulic press brakes cannot exceed the rated tonnage. You may prefer mechanical press brakes if you need flexibility.
This dual drive hybrid makes quick work of any project. It's long-term, high performance, and efficient.
Our press brake machines are backed by Standard Industrial's reputation as a durable and repeatable machine. This gives them an advantage over other models.

You can use presses in sheet metal fabrication and production plants in many sectors such as automotive and aeronautics.
Our energy-efficient, all-electric BB series press brakes come specially designed with a collection of ultra-modern, performance-enhancing features that are perfect for meeting and exceeding the demanding requirements facing today's production machinery experts.
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.
