Our Servo Hydraulic Press Brkes are highly efficient metal benders. With up to 66% reduced power consumption in standby, and 44% lower energy usage during the bending phase, our Servo Hydraulic Press Brokes are more powerful and efficient than other metal benders. AC Servo "electric motors" drive the ram movement of our servobrakes. They also have variable speed pumps that pump hydraulic oil "on demand". Our sophisticated, advanced technology ensures that the servopress brake is cost-effective. It's hard to find a quieter or more accurate press braking system anywhere.
Next, you'll need to determine which characteristics must be considered when calculating the part bend. These characteristics include:
A one-of-a-kind technology that makes efficient, quality results available to press brake operators of all skill levels.
Before choosing your press brake type, you should first determine the metal you want (stainless or 16 gauge mild, etc.).
Air bending uses the punch's end and the V's edges to allow sheet metal to bent. This type bending also has a springback effect. Because the bending forces are weaker, the sheet of metal will bounce backwards much like an elastic once the punch has been removed.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. has a wide range of hydraulic press brake models that can be used to serve the diverse needs of all the businesses we service. Our press brakes are available in sizes from 22 tons up to 440 tonnes and can have beds lengths of 4' to 13'. We are able to accommodate special length requests and specific tonnage in addition to the standard stock. For easy and safe maintenance, all of our press brakes have safety devices. All electrical components are manufactured using industry-standard parts which can be easily found in our Memphis warehouse. Get more information about each model by downloading a pdf.
It has been said, "The little guys sometimes punch well beyond their weight class." Our 4 foot small press brake proves this. This compact bender features a CNC controlled back gauge on the X axis, tangs for euro or american style toolsing, an LED rear light, two sliding front supports with a line rail and a dual station with a palm/foot switch. This compact, precise small press brake is sure to impress.
The CNC control hydraulic presses brakes give users the ability to tackle any job with precision, speed, volume, and ease. These machines can tackle the most challenging jobs with precision and detail. Additional program storage can be added by using a removable USB drive. Other key features include:
Machines that press brake sheet metal are used to form long sheets. These sheets are commonly used in manufacturing, for industrial applications, or to make components for other devices. Most press brakes have a rating based on their pressability and their bending length. This information is expressed as numbers (e.g., total pressure per inch, or pounds of pressurized material per inch). They are available in many sizes and can often be equipped with additional tools and add-ons to make custom components. The two main types of presses brakes that you will find are hydraulic and mechanical. In the following sections, we will explain the main features and distinguish between the two types.
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.
Flexible and reliable bending performances with the patented HEXA (r) frame – all this in a cost-efficient package
Once these characteristics have been determined, you must then calculate the tonnage required for the bending operation.
"The precision and repeatability of your work is outstanding. I was able to keep one job open for five days straight. The first part bent on the first day was the same as the last one on the fifth day. This and the quicker setup time result in greater profitability.
No matter your bending need, our BH Series is there to help.
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.
A 10-foot press brake can be expensive.
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.
Air brakes can be described as three types of braking systems: emergency brake, parking brake and service brake. The service brake system applies the brakes and then releases them when you press the brake pedal while driving.
The CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.
