A press brake is a machine that forms sheets of metal in long lengths. These sheets are often used in manufacturing or industrial applications. Most press brakes can be rated according to their metal pressing capacity and overall bending length. These numbers are expressed in numbers (e.g. total PPI, or pounds per inch). They can be found in many shapes and come with tools and accessories that allow for the creation of highly customized components. Two main types of press brakes are available: hydraulic and mechanical. We will discuss the differences and highlight the key features of each style in the sections that follow.
Warning: incorrect tonnage, which is too high or low, can cause damage or irreparable injury to your press brake. Refer to the manual or a table to calculate the weight of your press brake.
When calculating the margin, other elements must be considered, such as thickness of punch blade, fold length, and opening of V.
Do you need a strong and reliable machine for processing and bending metal sheets? At Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 Hydraulic Press Brakes are capable of bending metal sheets and plates without hassles. They are strong and can be relied upon by fabricators for various form bending. The operation of our Hydraulic Press Brakes is quite simple as it basically requires that the material being worked on is fastened on the bed while the ram descends on it.
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.
The majority of press brakes are intended to work in the center of the presses. When there is a lot of force required near the brake's ends, Standard Industrial press brakes will apply off-center load.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co is a Member the American Welding Society (NOMMA) and the National Glass Association (NGA).
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 press brakes can streamline your workflow, improve production speeds, reduce energy consumption, and lower operating costs. Our presses have capacities ranging from 40-to 2,000-ton and can be equipped with between 3 and 11 different axes. They also include tool layout, collision checks, back gauge editing, and DiamondSoft(r), software with auto-tooling.
Backed by Standard Industrial's reputation for durability and repeatability, our press brake machines offer important advantages over other models.
Our press brake machines are backed by Standard Industrial's reputation as a durable and repeatable machine. This gives them an advantage over other models.
This game-changing tool changer provides real-time information that allows any press brake operator to perform at their best.
This will allow the machine to run at a constant speed, making it easier for alignment and loading/unloading tooling.
Most press brakes work in the middle of the press. Standard Industrial press brakes can be used to apply substantial force at the ends of the brake when they are not designed for center loading.

The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
With about 70 lbs, the average person can push on the brake pedal. You can apply the brake pedal with about 70 lbs. To stop a moving vehicle disc brakes require 800-1200 psi at their calipers. All parts of the system amplify the force you apply to the pedal.
The most common reason for a soft/spongy pedal is air in the brake lines. Breathing in air can cause the brake pedal to feel soft or spongy. If your brakes feel spongy or soft, it is time to flush or change the brake fluid.
