An automatic lubrication machine is an air-operated and timed system that adds grease to all lubrication points, except backgauge screws. This feature is ideal for multiple shift operations. All press brakes have a standard manifold-central lubrication mechanism.

In bottom bending, the punch curves the metal sheet with a high force (3 to 5 times greater than air bending) which reduces or even prevents the spring back effect generally associated with air bending. The process begins with air bending then continues with cold forging carried out at the bottom of the V.
Our BB series has the right bending tools for you.
Press brakes were limited to making bends using one axis. They were more limited than modern machines that can program 12 or more movement axes. Modern press brakes have high precision and produce graphical representations to aid the operator. Setup time is significantly reduced with newer computers. They can quickly calculate the optimal settings according to materials, dimensions, and the desired result. These calculations were once done manually.
Early generations of press brakes only had one axis of motion to make bends. They were much more limited compared to modern machines with 12 or more programmable axes of movement. Modern press brakes are highly precise and create graphical representations of the end result to aid the operator. Newer computers have dramatically reduced the setup time as well. They’re able to quickly calculate optimal settings based on materials being used, its dimensions, and the desired results. These calculations used to be done by hand, back in the day.
This type bending is most common for sheet metal workers as it is compatible with machines with smaller capacities.
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.
This dual-drive hybrid makes short work of any project with long-term, high-speed, energy-efficient operation.
A press brake can be described as a machine tool that is used to bend metal parts or sheets up to 20mm thick. It's composed of a U or V-shaped punch and a die. The material to be bent can be placed on the die and then pressed by the punch. This bends the sheet to a desired degree.
A fully automated press brake solution can reduce the stress on your production lines, and help you to keep your mind and your business in check. But how can this be done?

According to the 15th-century definition of brake, it was an instrument for crushing or pounding. The term brake became synonymous with machine, a term that was derived from machines that crushed grain and plant fibers. In its simplest form, a press brake and a pressing machine are the same thing.
When you travel at a decent speed, the first brake is used. If you need to stop your car or your car's speed reaches the lowest gear, you will need to use your brakes to prevent it from stalling.
Diamonds don't last forever. They can become lost, can be fried in an oven, or can be crushed to smithereens by a hydraulic press.
The press brake can do tasks that would normally fall to special machines. For example, press brakes can form rods or tubes from raw materials not usually associated with sheet metal benders. You can also use press brakes to attach various types of press-fit hardware to sheet metal parts.
The panel bender is more efficient than a traditional press brake due to its tooling advantages. It also has a faster, more consistent, and repeatable process. Both can benefit from CNC (computer numerical control), but a press brake needs manual manipulation of the sheet metal, bend to bend.
