The next step is to determine the characteristics that will be used to calculate the part bend. For example:
Bottom bending is when the punch curves the sheet of metal with a higher force than air bending. This reduces, or even eliminates, the spring back effect that is commonly associated with airbending. Cold forging is then performed at the bottom.
The motor inside a mechanical press brake operates via a motor. This motor spins an enormous flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls the flywheel via a clutch. A clutch then sets the other parts in motion and bends the metal. The mechanical press brake, with its electronic controls, is much simpler and makes maintenance and operation simple. A mechanical press brake can handle tonnages that are two to three times larger than their intrinsic rating due to its design. The downside to using mechanical press brakes, however, is that the machine's ram must complete its full cycle before it can be reversed. The operator can make mistakes, which could lead to safety concerns. A potential danger is that the press brake may become locked if it travels too far.
Our Servo Hydraulic Press Brakes are powerful efficient metal benders with up to 66% lower power consumption during stand by and 44% lower energy use during the bending cycle. Ram movement on our servo brakes is powered by AC Servo "electric" motors driving hydraulic oil "on demand" in line with variable speed pumps. Our servo press brake achieves a significantly lower cost per part by using our highly sophisticated advanced technology that synchronizes the powerful forces of electronics, electric power and hydraulics only when it's needed. You won't find a quieter, more energy efficient or more accurate press brake anywhere.
The BH series "hybrid” press brakes show that not all hybrid brakes are equal. These machines, which are third-generation, feature their patented dual drive design. It allows for superior productivity, precision, reliability, energy savings, and high-speed movement.
This dual-drive hybrid can be used to quickly complete any project. It is long-term and high-speed as well as energy-efficient.

Standard press brakes have the reliability and dependability that your operation requires. A user-friendly interface and controls provide an unbeatable level of convenience. Our press brakes can handle many materials, including soft Brass, heat-treated Aluminum Alloys, stainless Steel, soft Aluminium, and chrome molybdenum.
Our press brake machines have important advantages over other models, thanks to Standard Industrial's reputation of durability and repeatability.
Raw power, heavy-duty bending performance, and improved technology – all in a cost-efficient package.
Our presses will streamline your work flow, increase production speeds and optimize energy consumption. They can also help reduce operating costs. Our press brakes come in 40- to 2000-ton capacities. They have between 3 and 11, with tool layout and collision check.
Our manual control brakes are ideal for jobs or industries that don’t require precise and detailed CNC controls. Manual press brakes come with all the same safety features that CNC models have. These powerful machines are easy to start and great for more simple jobs. They have a front-operated ram adjust and power back-gauge with digital readouts. Both can also be fine adjusted by handwheels. Our models range in weight from 22 tons to 425 tons.
This revolutionary tool changer gives press brake operators real-time information to help them perform better.

A press brake is a machine that bends metal parts and sheets up 20mm thick.
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.
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.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
Crowning is the method by which press brakes correct for deflections in both the upper beam or lower bed when pressure applies. There are different methods, depending on the model and make of the press brake.
