Consider all of the machine capabilities above combined with our industry-leading service (on average 2 1/2 service techs per salesperson), our well staffed emergency service line and a parts section that will blow your mind. We also have the tools to build your press brake. With all the tools available, our factory-trained Wilson and Wila experts are certified.
Bottom bending involves bending the metal sheet using a punch with a force that is 3 to 5 times stronger than air bending. This decreases or prevents the springback effect commonly associated with airbending. This begins with air bending and continues at the bottom with cold forging.
This type of bending is used most often for sheet metal work because it can be used on machines with smaller capacities than bottom bending which requires more force.
It is said that the "little guys" sometimes punch higher than their weight classes. Our small, 4-foot press brake is an example of this. The compact bender includes a CNC-controlled X-axis back gauge, tangs capable of accepting euro or american tooling, an LED rear working light and two front sheet supports that slide with a linear rail. There is also a dual palm/foot station equipped with a selector switch. This small, powerful and precise press brake packs a punch.
Standard is supported and assisted by an expanding group of industry professionals. This includes experienced application engineers as well as product specialists and sales consultants. JMT also offers a tooling and parts department that will ensure your machines are running at maximum performance.
In the beginning, press brakes could only bend with one axis. They were less versatile than modern machines which have twelve or more programmable movements. Modern press brakes can be extremely precise and provide visual representations of final results to aid operators. Modern computers also make it much easier to set up. The computers are able to quickly calculate the best settings based on the materials being used and its dimensions. These calculations used to have to be done manually back in the day.
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!
Day in and day out, Standard press brakes deliver the dependability and reliability your operation demands. Easy-to-use controls offer an unparalleled user-friendly approach. Our press brakes can handle a wide range of materials, including soft brass, heat-treated aluminum alloys, stainless steel, soft aluminum and chrome molybdenum.
Warning: Incorrect Tonnage (too high/low) could cause damage to your presses brake or the part that you are bending. The operating manual and a tonnage chart will help you calculate the tonnage for your press brake.
The PA Plus series combines functionality and versatility in one powerful package. The PA Plus series is designed for a large array of accessories for a customizable solution.
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.
The ADR and the ADS hydraulic press brake is as fast as it is accurate. With accuracy numbers like +- .0004 and repeatability to match, these press brakes take a back seat to no machine made anywhere. As with all the press brakes in the JMT lineup, our concept of “large strokes, high openings and deep throats is ever present in these machines, which allow the operators to make parts with larger flanges and make the removal of those parts much easier for the operator to manage. With easier quicker setups, a more operator friendly control, a press that moves at breakneck speed, the end result is more parts in the bin by the end of the shift with a higher piece to piece overall quality.
Every Standard hydraulic presse brake is checked in Rockford Illinois by our Perfect Machine Process to ensure it is ready for installation in your shop.
Take all the outstanding machine capabilities and combine them with our industry-renowned service (on average, 2 1/2 service technicians per salesperson), well-staffed emergency line and parts department. We can also help you to set up your press brake. With the right tools, we are factory-trained and certified Wila & Wilson tooling specialists.
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.
