The Hydraulic Press Brake's tonnage, also known by the Press Capacity, determines the work-piece size that can be processed. A press brake can also deliver the unit force measurement. This is what bends work-pieces into the desired/specific degrees. The tonnage range for our Press Brakes ranges between 30 tons and 3000 tons. While the bed lengths range from 4 feet to almost 30 feet, they can accommodate up to 30 tons.
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.
A press brake is a machine tool used for bending metal parts and sheets up to 20 mm thick. It is composed of a V-shaped or U-shaped die (depending on the desired bending shape) and a punch. The material to be bent is placed on the die and pressed by the punch which then bends the sheet to the selected degree.
Adjust the bending angle in accordance with the metal spring back, and then calculate the margin. Accordingly, for example, 90deg bends, the punch should be reduced to 85deg.
This game-changing tool changer provides real-time information that allows any press brake operator to perform better.
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.
Our energy-efficient, all-electric BB series press brakes come specially designed with a collection of ultra-modern, performance-enhancing features that are perfect for meeting and exceeding the demanding requirements facing today’s production machinery experts.
Standard press brakes are reliable and dependable, day after day. It is easy to use the controls, which are extremely user-friendly. Our press brakes can handle a wide variety of materials, including soft brass as well heat-treated aluminum alloys and stainless steel.
When calculating the margin, other elements must be considered, such as thickness of punch blade, fold length, and opening of V.
There are two ways press brakes can bend metal. The first is called bottom bending because the ram will press the metal to the bottom of the die. Bottom bending results in highly accurate bends and relies less on the press brake machine itself. The downside is each tool is they're made to create one specific bend, so you’ll need to purchase a new one for every angle you want to make. Air bending leaves an air pocket between the ram and the bottom of the die. This allows the operator to accommodate for any spring back the material might provide. These types of dies only need to be changed if the material’s thickness is too much. Air bending’s drawback is the accuracy of the angle is affected by the material’s thickness, so the ram needs to be changed out accordingly.
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.
You will then need to determine what characteristics are to be considered when calculating a part bend. You can use the following examples:

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.
Three main CNC-controlled axes are located at the top of a modern CNC press brake. These include the control over the bending and back gauges, as well as the control of various productivity options.
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.

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.
Hydraulic disc brakes have the advantage of self-adjusting as they wear down. The caliper's design will allow it to retract a predetermined distance from the rotor, regardless of how worn the pads are. This is amazing, and you don't need to adjust your brakes like with mechanical pads.
