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.
The possibilities are unlimited with our top end precision press brakes that feature, better controls, more axes, faster setups, faster part production, large daylight openings and large working areas. Features include a stable and fast AC servo motor-driven back gauge system and outboard mounted long ram guides (which provide stability while allowing full length between the frames for acute angle bending).
This dual drive hybrid makes quick work of any project. It's long-term, high performance, and efficient.
Do you need a strong and reliable machine for processing and bending metal sheets? At Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 Hydraulic Press Brakes are capable of bending metal sheets and plates without hassles. They are strong and can be relied upon by fabricators for various form bending. The operation of our Hydraulic Press Brakes is quite simple as it basically requires that the material being worked on is fastened on the bed while the ram descends on it.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. stocks a variety hydraulic press brake models to fit the unique needs and requirements of the many businesses that we serve across the country. Our press brakes have sizes from 22 to 44 tons and beds from 4 to 13 inches with manual or CNC controls. We can accept custom orders and length requests for special lengths. All of our presses brakes come standard with safety devices. The rear safety cage disables the machine when the door is opened. This makes it easy to maintain and prevents accidents. All electrical parts are industry-standard and readily available at our Memphis, TN warehouse. To learn more about each model, download the pdf.
Before choosing your press brake, you must first know the type of metal you want to bend (stainless steel, 16 gauge mild steel, etc.)
This game-changing tool changer offers real-time info that will help any press brake operator perform more effectively.
Also, we offer a range press brakes that work with the hydraulic control system. Its bending capability is strong enough for handling large work-pieces. Due to its enormous tonnage capacity, the unit can efficiently work on thick metal materials. This range can be used in Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder format Y1+Y2. It does not require complicated operation. The Press Brakes can handle steel, brass as well metal sheets and aluminum alloys.
An early generation of press brakes used one axis to bend. They were much less powerful than modern machines with twelve or more programable axes. Modern press brakes are precise and generate graphical representations for the operator. Also, the setup time for newer computers has been dramatically reduced. They are capable of quickly calculating optimal settings based the material being used, its dimensions, as well as the desired results. These calculations used be done manually in the past.
The press brake is a must-have for any metal fabrication shop. Despite being the most crucial piece of machinery in a shop and highly valued, many people don't understand them. We've created this guide for you to better understand the press brakes.
Our BB series has the right bending tools for you.
It has a double axis servo-electric back gauge system. It is capable of automatic bending step calculation as well as lengths that are full between side frames. These servoelectric presses are easy to use, precise, and cost-effective.
The Hydraulic Press Brake's Tonnage is also known to be the Press Capacity. This determines the work-piece that can go through the Press Brake. Also, it can deliver the force necessary to bend work-pieces into specific degrees. Our Press Brakes have a tonnage range between 30 to 3000 tonnes. The bed lengths are 4 to 5 feet.
The first generation of press brakes had only one axis that could bend. These machines were far less flexible than modern machines that have 12 or more programmable movement axes. Modern presses brakes are extremely precise and can create visual representations of the final result to assist the operator. The setup time has been greatly reduced by modern computers. These computers can quickly determine the optimal settings based upon materials used, their dimensions, and desired results. Back in the day, these calculations were done manually.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
Hydraulic brakes are more efficient than mechanical disc brakes. This means that you will need to apply less pressure to the lever for equal braking power. This allows for better modulation.

Five Types of Hydraulic Presses: Why You Need Them
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.
