Bottom bending uses a punch to bend the metal sheet at a high rate (3 to 5 times more than airbending), which reduces or eliminates the springback effect common with airbending. The process starts with air bending, and then goes on to cold forging at the bottom.
Flexible and reliable bending performance with patented HEXA-C® frame – all in a cost-efficient package.
This dual drive hybrid makes quick work of any project. It's long-term, high performance, and efficient.
Air bending is done by bending sheet metal at the ends of the punch and 2 edges of V. This type of bend also creates a spring effect in the work piece. Because the bending force in this case is weaker, the metal sheet can spring backwards as if it were elastic.
Press brakes are a necessity to almost any metal fabrication shop. Unfortunately, despite being one of the most important and desired pieces of machinery in a shop, they’re still misunderstood—even by professionals. To help you better understand press brakes, we put together this short, layman’s-level guide.
Standard Industrial was the only manufacturer who offered a 5-year warranty for parts in a recent research on press brake warranties. Standard Industrial Corporation offers a 7 year extended warranty on metal fabrication equipment. You won't find any other manufacturer offering this option.
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.
Standard Industrial won a recent survey on press brake warranties and was the only manufacturer to offer a 5-year parts warranty. Standard Industrial Corporation offers a 7-Year Extended Warranty on Metal Fabrication Equipment. There is no other manufacturer that offers this optional warranty.
Adjust the bending angle in accordance with the metal spring back, and then calculate the margin. Accordingly, for example, 90deg bends, the punch should be reduced to 85deg.
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 press brake's press force is known as the tonnage. It is used to determine the maximum pressure that can applied during the bending process.
Standard Industrial Press Brakes can be used by any facility. Standard Industrial press brakes can be used by smaller facilities with less expensive work hours that are able to perform up to three shifts per day. Standard Press brakes are also suitable for product manufacturers who need reliable machines that can be easily repaired with minimal downtime.
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!
Ranging from entry-level hydraulic all the way up to heavy-duty, fully customized solutions that cover any of your requirements for sheet metal forming, these press brakes represent the apex of pounds-to-performance for industrial bending.
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.
There are two types of primary press brakes: electronic and hydraulic. Hydraulic presses brakes are the most common and oldest type of press brakes. Hydraulic press brakes are capable of handling the most difficult workloads.
4. Choose the correct upper and lower dies for your press brake toolings based on the sheet metal hardness, thickness, length, and other factors. The slot width of the lower den should be between 5-6 times and 6-8 times the thickness of a metal plate. The sheet should have a longer length.
A hydraulic press crushed a worker to death in an industrial accident. Two workers were placing materials under hydraulic presses. An online video of the incident shows this. While the victim was fixing the materials, the worker controlling the machine turned the engine on.
Hydraulic disc brakes have the advantage of self-adjusting as they wear down. The caliper's design will allow it to retract a predetermined distance from the rotor, regardless of how worn the pads are. This is amazing, and you don't need to adjust your brakes like with mechanical pads.
