Before choosing your press brake type, you should first determine the metal you want (stainless or 16 gauge mild, etc.).
Start with your new Piranha Press Breeze. It's easy to add any material in the database. All you need is a certificate of material from your source that lists tensile properties.
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.
Our popular precision performance to value-oriented CNC hydraulic press brakes have exceptionally large strokes, daylights, and throat depths to allow cost effective production of simple to complex shapes that require large dimensions for ease of handling and removal. An easy to use cnc control reduces the required operator skill level. Precision accuracy tolerances of .ooo4 and unmatched repeat-ability-you simply won't find a higher quality press brake for the price!
What goes into a Piranha pressure brake? Our current models might be relatively new but we have been making press brakes for over a decade. We are proud to have created and engineered some outstanding machines like the single and dual-cylinder press braking systems that our customers still enjoy today. The U.S. steel prices were too expensive to fabricate. Our customers and dealers demanded that we build a new press brake shortly after we had stopped production. They loved the machine, and we made sure they were taken care of. They appreciated the fact that they could shop for and get service for any machine they owned in their shop.
You can use presses in sheet metal fabrication and production plants in many sectors such as automotive and aeronautics.
No matter what your bending requirements, the BH series can help you make sure power, precision and profit are always within reach.
No matter your bending needs, the BB Series is there to help.
An automatic oil lubrication system (also known as an air-operated, timed system) is a system that automatically adds grease to all points. This is a great feature for multiple shift operations. Standard equipment for press brakes includes a manifold centralized oil system.
Nearly every metal fabrication shop needs a press brake. Despite being one of the most vital pieces of machinery within a shop, press brakes are still misunderstood by even professionals. This short guide will help you understand presses brakes.
Standard is supported daily by a growing team of industry professionals that includes product specialists, service engineers, and sales consultants. JMT has a highly skilled parts and tooling division to ensure your machines run at their best.
This method allows for high levels of angular precision. This method can be used for sheet metal greater than 2mm thick.
A Mitsubishi automatic tools changer (ATC), equipped with a press brake stands out in many ways.
Mechanical press brakes work by a motor contained within the device. This motor spins the large flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls this flywheel using a clutch. After that, the rest of the components are in motion to bend the steel. The mechanical presses brake is easier to operate and maintain, particularly in regards to the electronics. Due to their nature, the mechanical press brakes are able to handle tons two to three-times higher than their inherent rating. The main disadvantage to mechanical press brakes is the fact that the ram within the machine must complete a full circle when it's engaged. It cannot be reversed. This presents safety concerns in the event that the operator makes mistakes and places restrictions on the machine. There is a possibility that the brakes could be locked if the ram travels too fast.
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.
The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.

The panel bender is more efficient than a traditional press brake due to its tooling advantages. It also has a faster, more consistent, and repeatable process. Both can benefit from CNC (computer numerical control), but a press brake needs manual manipulation of the sheet metal, bend to bend.
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.
