Now the machine runs at a continuous speed. This makes it easier to align beams and load and unload tools.
These portable sheet followers are more durable and economical than CNC models and can be easily moved. They can hold up to 425 pounds and can be moved quickly. This system is fully actuated by the movement of the press ram and requires no operator interaction. Made in the U.S.A.
Air bending uses the punch's end and the V's edges to allow sheet metal to bent. This type bending also has a springback effect. Because the bending forces are weaker, the sheet of metal will bounce backwards much like an elastic once the punch has been removed.
Mechanical press brakes operate via a motor inside the device. This motor spins a large flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls the flywheel through a clutch, which then sets the rest of the parts into motion to bend the metal. The mechanical press brake is much more straightforward, especially regarding its electronics, making maintenance and operation easy. They can also handle tonnages two to three times higher than their inherent rating, due to the nature of the mechanisms. The primary disadvantage of using mechanical press brakes is that the ram inside the machine must complete a full cycle when engaged and cannot be reversed. This creates some safety concerns if the operator makes a mistake and sets some limitations on the machine. One possible hazard is the potential for the press brake to become locked if the ram travels too far.
Our machines are built with industry-leading production capabilities and feature intuitive operator controls that reduce stress for all skill levels.

The sheet metal can be bent by air bending when the punch ends and the V edges are connected. However, this type of bending has a spring back result. When the punch is removed, the bending force is lower and the metal sheet springs backwards just like elastic.
Your workflow can be optimized to reduce costs, time and effort. You can prevent downtime and product issues by being proactive. Shops can be fine-tuned to meet customer needs. Whatever your challenge, there is an automation solution.
Think Gigantically LARGE and highly intelligent press brakes with an unlimited range of tonnages, bending lengths, and loading/unloading metal material handling systems. All of our high tonnage mega press brakes utilize advanced engineered technology “box construction” frame design that gives our mega brakes the most stable brake machine body in the world. The unparalleled stability and rigidity of our large high tonnage press brakes incorporating our box construction frame design is approved by our references all around the world. Our high tonnage press brake also focuses to minimize the handling of large work pieces before, during and after the bending operation and respects the next process.
A majority of metal fabrication shops need press brakes. Even though they are one of the most essential pieces of machinery in any shop, they are still poorly understood by even professionals. This guide is a layman's guide to press brakes.
Flexible and reliable bending performance, all with the patented HEXA(r) frame – all in a cost efficient package
One-of-a kind technology that provides press brake operators with efficient, high-quality results.
Standard press brakes offer the reliability and dependability your operation needs day after day. Simple controls make it easy to use. Our press brakes have the ability to handle a wide range materials including soft brass, heat treated aluminum alloys, stainless and soft aluminum, as well as chrome molybdenum.
Hydraulic presses can be used for forging and clinching, moulding blanking, punching as well as metal forming operations like deep drawing and blanking. Hydraulic presses can also be used for rubber pad forming and powder compacting.
Material Type and Thickness Maximum Material Length. Complexity of bends. Accuracy of Bend. Per day, number of parts required. Each day, there are approximately 2,000 parts/tooling changes. Level of skill for press brake operator.
A 10-foot press brake can be expensive.
The disadvantages of pneumatic and hydraulic brakes They can be more expensive than a mechanical brake. The fluid used should be compatible to the brake material. Brake failure could result from brake fluid leakage. Maintenance and construction are not as easy as mechanical brakes.
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.
