Single Cylinder Press Brake Event

The motor within a mechanical press brake works by turning a large flywheel. The motor spins a large flywheel at high speed. The flywheel is controlled by the machine operator through a clutch. This sets the other parts in motion to bend metal. The mechanical press brake is simpler, especially in terms of its electronics. This makes maintenance and operation much easier. The mechanical press brakes can handle tons up to three times their intrinsic rating. Mechanical press brakes have one major drawback: the ram must go through a complete cycle once it is engaged. This cannot be reversed. This poses safety risks if an operator makes a mistake or places limitations on the machine. The possibility that the press brake could become locked if too much ram travel is one potential danger.

Metal can be bent by press brakes in two ways. Bottom bending refers to pressing the metal to the bottom. Bottom bending produces precise bends and requires less work from the press brake machine. However, each tool can only create one type of bend so you will have to purchase a new tool for every angle. When air bending is done, there's an air pocket between your ram and the die. This allows the operator adjust to any spring back that the material may provide. These dies do not need to be altered if the material's thickness exceeds a certain limit. Air bending has one drawback: the accuracy of the angle is affected due to the material's thickness. The ram should be adjusted accordingly.

What goes into a Piranha presses brake? Our current models are quite new, but we have been manufacturing press brakes since 1998. We created and engineered great machines such as the single-cylinder, dual-cylinder presses that are still loved by our customers today. But the high cost of steel in U.S. fabrication was prohibitive. After we stopped producing, customers and dealers started asking us to rebuild a press brake. They liked the machine and they appreciated how well we looked after them. They loved having one location where they could purchase or receive service for any equipment they have in their shop.

Generally, the tonnage of a Hydraulic Press Brake is also known as the Press Capacity and is what determines the size of the work-piece that can be processed on the Press Brake and the unit of force measurement which is a press brake can deliver and is what bends work-pieces into desired/specific degrees. The tonnage range of our Press Brakes is between 30 tons to 3000 tons while the bed lengths begin at 4 feet and ranges up to almost 30 feet.
