"The repeatability and accuracy are exceptional. One job ran for five consecutive days. There was no difference in the time it took to bend the first part on day one and the last on day five. This, plus the shorter setup time, translate into higher profitability.
To save time, money, effort, and labor, optimize your workflow. Avoid costly downtimes and product problems by actively preventing them. With unrivalled functionality and programmability as well as real-time cloud-based machine intelligence, fine tune your shop to meet your day's needs. No matter what the challenge may be, automation can help.
A Mitsubishi automatic changer (ATC), fitted with a press brake is a unique piece of equipment.
Hydraulic presses brakes exert pressure through hydraulics to lower the ram, and not rely on mechanics. They may be equipped with more than one piston, which allows for more precise control of the bend. This allows for a very precise and custom-made bend. There are some drawbacks to hydraulic press brakes. Hydraulic press brakes can only be used within the limits of their rated weight. For projects that require flexibility, mechanical presses brakes might be preferable.
A press brake, a machine used to bend and cut metal sheets upto 20 mm in thickness, is an example of a machine tool. The press brake is made up of a U-shaped (or V-shaped) die and a punch. The material to bent is placed on a die and pressed with the punch.
One-of-a kind technology that provides press brake operators with efficient, high-quality results.
Automated press brakes can ease the pressure on your production line if there are deadlines or timelines that must be met. How can you do this?
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.
Next, you'll need to determine which characteristics must be considered when calculating the part bend. These characteristics include:
Warning: incorrect tonnage, which is too high or low, can cause damage or irreparable injury to your press brake. Refer to the manual or a table to calculate the weight of your press brake.
No matter your bending need, our BH Series is there to help.
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.
Gulf States Saw & Machine offers precision and detail in computer-controlled measurements as well as simple bends. Co offers two great options in hydraulic press brakes. They come in a variety of sizes and are affordable. Call our team to receive a quote and a machine.
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.
Hydraulic brakes are easy to maintain, provided you properly bleed the system and make sure there are no leaks.
