Single Cylinder Press Brake Safety Guidelines

Our manual control brakes are ideal for jobs or industries that don’t require precise and detailed CNC controls. Manual press brakes come with all the same safety features that CNC models have. These powerful machines are easy to start and great for more simple jobs. They have a front-operated ram adjust and power back-gauge with digital readouts. Both can also be fine adjusted by handwheels. Our models range in weight from 22 tons to 425 tons.

An automatic system for lubrication is an air-operated timed system that brings grease to all lubrication points except the backgauge screws. This option is ideal for multiple shift operations. All press brakes feature a standard central lubrication system.

To increase productivity, high-speed hydraulics packages can be added to press brakes. Oil coolers are used to cool and maintain the temperature of systems. Get in touch with a representative to discuss custom-designed systems and systems with specific requirements.

Hydraulic press brakes use hydraulic pressure to push the ram down instead of relying on mechanics. They can have multiple cylinders, which gives the operator greater control over the bend. This results in a bend that is highly customizable and precise. Hydraulic press brakes have certain disadvantages. They cannot exceed their rated tonnage. Mechanical press brakes are a good choice if your project is flexible.

Before you choose your press brake, it is important to know what type of metal you are going to be bending (stainless steel or 16 gauge mild steel).

High productivity, heavy duty bending performance, intuitive operation - all in one cost-efficient package

Single Cylinder Press Brake Ps

Standard press brakes have the reliability and dependability that your operation requires. A user-friendly interface and controls provide an unbeatable level of convenience. Our press brakes can handle many materials, including soft Brass, heat-treated Aluminum Alloys, stainless Steel, soft Aluminium, and chrome molybdenum.

Our Servo Hydraulic Press brakes are efficient and powerful metal benders. They consume up to 66% less power during standby and use 44% less energy during the bending process. Our servo brakes are powered by AC Servo electric motors that drive hydraulic oil "on-demand" through variable speed pumps. The servo press brake has a lower cost per unit because it uses our advanced technology. This allows us to synchronize the powerful forces of electric power, hydraulics and electronics only when they are needed. There is no quieter, more efficient, or more precise press brake available.

And then there are the BH series “hybrid” press brakes that prove once and for all that not all hybrid press brakes are created equal. These third-generation machines utilize their patented dual-drive design to bring you the best of both hydraulic and electric bending worlds: productivity, precision, high-speed movement, reliability, and superior energy savings—even when compared to other hydraulic, hybrid, and even electric pulley-style press brakes.

It is essential to achieve the highest quality part every time you use a hydraulic brake. We've made it even easier with the Piranha Easy Crown System. This machine eliminates the most common problem associated with a press brake: deflection.

Setup People

The press brakes are equipped with a manifold-lube system that brings all lubrication points together in one place (except for optional Backgauge screws). This time-saving feature improves machine longevity and decreases maintenance.

A punching application can be made in one location or at multiple locations on the bed. Standard Industrial press brakes come with a balance valve that allows for the lowest shock to the hydraulic system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.

Nearly all modern car crushers use hydraulic presses to crush cars. A pump pushes hydraulic fluid through large cylinders to power a large motor. Using principles of force-multiplication, a hydraulic system can generate over 2,000 psi and impart more than 150 tons of crushing force onto a pile of scrap cars.

The press brake works by using a punch or die to bend or cut metal in a variety shapes and forms.

The principle of Pascal's Law governs hydraulic presses. It states that pressure applied to a fluid within a fluid causes pressure changes throughout the fluid. The hydraulic press has a piston, which acts as a pump and provides a slight mechanical force to a small portion of the sample.

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.
