Hydraulic Press Brake Dies

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.

There are two ways press brakes can bend metal. The first is called bottom bending because the ram will press the metal to the bottom of the die. Bottom bending results in highly accurate bends and relies less on the press brake machine itself. The downside is each tool is they're made to create one specific bend, so you’ll need to purchase a new one for every angle you want to make. Air bending leaves an air pocket between the ram and the bottom of the die. This allows the operator to accommodate for any spring back the material might provide. These types of dies only need to be changed if the material’s thickness is too much. Air bending’s drawback is the accuracy of the angle is affected by the material’s thickness, so the ram needs to be changed out accordingly.

This type of bending is most commonly used for sheet metal working as it is suitable for machines with reduced capacities, unlike bottom bending, which requires more force.

It is finally possible now to find a heavy-duty, press brake solution which is both simple and easy to use.

Automated press brakes can ease the pressure on your production line if there are deadlines or timelines that must be met. How can you do this?

Our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Hydraulic Press Brakes are designed using the CNC technology system-the Computerized Numeric Control which is the latest technological advancement in Press Brake designs and utilizes a blast system that removes rust from the work-piece surface. Because it is run on Servo Electric systems, our range of advanced dual bending machines function purely electrically. They require no form of hydraulic oiling and energy consumption is minimal.

No matter what your bending requirements, the BB series can help you. Power, precision, profit, and profit are all within reach.

Our Servo Hydraulic Press Brakes can bend metal with up to 66% less power consumption at stand-by and 44% less energy use during the bending cycles. Our servo braking system is powered by AC Servo motors. These motors drive hydraulic oil on demand in conjunction with variable speed pumps. Our advanced technology ensures that our servo presses have a significantly lower price per part. We use only the most powerful electronic, electric and hydraulic power when it is needed. You won't find any quieter, less energy-intensive or more accurate press brake.

These machines run fast and efficiently and are more reliable than their predecessors.

Hydraulic press brakes apply pressure via hydraulics to force the ram down, instead of relying solely on mechanics. They may have more than one cylinder and give the operator more precise control over the bend. The result is a highly accurate and customizable bend. Like mechanical press brakes, hydraulic press brakes do have some specific disadvantages. Primarily, they cannot exceed the range of their rated tonnage. If your project requires flexibility, mechanical press brakes may be preferred.

Two methods can press brakes bend steel. The first is bottom bending, where the ram presses the metal to its bottom. Bottom bending allows for precise bends, and less reliance on the machine's press brake. Each tool has its limitations. They are designed to create a particular bend and you will need a different one for each angle. The bottom of the die and the ram are separated by an air pocket when air bending occurs. This allows for the operator to account for any material spring back. These types of dies need to only be changed if there is excessive material thickness. Air bending has a drawback. Because the thickness of the material can affect the accuracy, the ram needs changing accordingly.

No matter your bending need, our BH Series is there to help.

What are the 3 braking techniques

Press brakes are used in sheet metal work and production plants in many fields, such as the automotive and aeronautic sectors.

Our CNC hydraulic press brakes offer a high level of precision and are highly value-oriented. They feature large strokes and daylights as well as deep throats. This allows for the production of simple and complex shapes, which require large dimensions to be easily handled and removed. A simple cnc control makes it easier for operators to operate. The price is right for a press brake of such high quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.

Experts estimate that hydraulic brakes require twice as much electrical energy to operate an electric press brake. The hydraulic motors, pumps and oil that hydraulic press brakes use to operate the machine keep it running, even when it's not in use.

The CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.

Crowning is the method by which press brakes correct for deflections in both the upper beam or lower bed when pressure applies. There are different methods, depending on the model and make of the press brake.

You shouldn't use the clutch to turn corners. The transmission mechanism is freed by pressing the clutch, which can affect the vehicle's stability. If your vehicle is in an imbalanced position while you turn, it can lose traction. Depending on the speed, the vehicle may tip over.
