Whatever the challenge, there’s an automation solution that can help.
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:
This type of bend is used most frequently for sheet metalworking because it can be used with machines with reduced capacities. It is not as strong as bottom bending, which is more difficult.
Before you choose your press brake, it is important to know what type of metal you are going to be bending (stainless steel or 16 gauge mild steel).
Tonnage is the force that the press brake applies to the material. It determines how much pressure can be applied to the punch during bending.
The press brake's press force is known as the tonnage. It is used to determine the maximum pressure that can applied during the bending process.
Also, consider other elements when calculating the margin such as the thickness, length and opening of the V.
Imagine giant, intelligent, large press brakes with a vast range of tonnages, lengths, loading/unloading metal material handling and an infinite number of bending lengths. Our high tonnage mega presses brakes feature an advanced engineered technology "box-construction" frame design. This gives our mega brakes one of the strongest and most stable machines in the world. All of our references around the globe are impressed by the exceptional stability and rigidity that our large high tonnage presses brakes have, thanks to our box-construction frame design. Our high tonnage presses are designed to minimize large pieces being handled before, during, or after the bending operation. This allows for the next process to be respected.
Our manual control presses brakes can be used in jobs and industries that do not require precision or detail like CNC controls. While the manual press brakes feature the same safety features as the CNC models, they are still powerful and easy to use for simple jobs. These include a front-operated powerback-gauge and adjustable ram with digital readouts. There are also fine adjustment handwheels that allow for both. Our models are available in a range of weights, from 22 tons up to 440 tons.
At Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co , we carry a wide variety of hydraulic press brake models to meet the unique needs of the various businesses we serve throughout the country. Our press brakes range in size from 22 tons to 440 tons and bed lengths from 4’ to 13’ with CNC or manual controls. In addition to our standard inventory, we can accommodate custom orders for specialty length requests and tonnage. All of our press brakes include safety devices and a rear safety cage that disables the machine when opened for easy and secure maintenance. All electrical components use industry-standard parts, which are readily available in our Memphis, TN warehouse. Download a pdf for more details on each model.
These machines are fast and efficient, as they run faster, more efficiently, and with greater reliability than their predecessors.

Hydraulic press braking is ideal for heavy-duty jobs and can easily be customized to handle the most varied customer forms, such as long lengths, tandems, high tonnage, and everything else in between.
Our Servo Hydraulic Press Brakes can bend metal with up to 66% less power consumption at stand-by and 44% less energy use during the bending cycles. Our servo braking system is powered by AC Servo motors. These motors drive hydraulic oil on demand in conjunction with variable speed pumps. Our advanced technology ensures that our servo presses have a significantly lower price per part. We use only the most powerful electronic, electric and hydraulic power when it is needed. You won't find any quieter, less energy-intensive or more accurate press brake.
The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
To pump hydraulic fluid into the system, pressure is applied by hand. The pressure is transferred to another area, and the resultant force can reach 25 tons.
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.
What happens if you don't hold down the clutch pedal or keep your vehicle in neutral while driving? Explanation: If you hold the clutch pedal down or stay in neutral for too much time, your vehicle will freewheel. Coasting is a dangerous technique that reduces your vehicle's control.
Hydraulic presses can be expensive and eat up a large portion of machine shop budgets of all sizes. However, choosing the lowest-cost press can lead to higher long-term costs. These are some things to keep in mind when selecting your next hydraulic press.
