No matter what your bending requirements, the BH series can help you make sure power, precision and profit are always within reach.

Press brakes are a necessity to almost any metal fabrication shop. Unfortunately, despite being one of the most important and desired pieces of machinery in a shop, they’re still misunderstood—even by professionals. To help you better understand press brakes, we put together this short, layman’s-level guide.

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.

This dual-drive hybrid makes short work of any project with long term, high speed, energy-efficient operation.

The CNC control hydraulic pressing brakes are able to handle any project with precision, speed and volume. These machines can handle the most difficult jobs with perfect details. You can also store programs on removable USB drives. Other important features include the following:

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.

This method can achieve high levels in angular precision. This method is good for sheet metal exceeding 2 mm in thickness.

Hydraulic press brakes are hydraulically applied to the ram to reduce its height, rather than relying only on mechanicals. They may contain more than one cylinder, giving the operator more control over the bend. It produces a precise and configurable bend. The hydraulic press brakes are similar to mechanical presses but have some disadvantages. Hydraulic press brakes cannot exceed the rated tonnage. You may prefer mechanical press brakes if you need flexibility.

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.

Standard is supported by a team of industry professionals which includes service engineers, sales consultants, product specialists and experienced application engineers. JMT has a dedicated parts and tooling section to keep your machines running at peak performance.

You must therefore adjust the bending angle according to the metal spring back and calculate the margin. As such, for a 90° bend, the punch must go down to 85° for example.

Finally, there is a press brake solution for heavy duty that is both user-friendly and loveable.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
