Ranging from entry-level hydraulic all the way up to heavy-duty, fully customized solutions that cover any of your requirements for sheet metal forming, these press brakes represent the apex of pounds-to-performance for industrial bending.
As part of our Perfect Machine Process, every Standard hydraulic press brake is rigorously inspected in our Rockford, Illinois, facility so that it’s ready for seamless installation in your shop.
Hydraulic Press Brake PlateBottom bending uses a punch to bend the metal sheet at a high rate (3 to 5 times more than airbending), which reduces or eliminates the springback effect common with airbending. The process starts with air bending, and then goes on to cold forging at the bottom.
We also offer a variety of Press Brakes that are hydraulically controlled. The bending power of the brake is strong enough to handle large work-pieces. Because of its large tonnage, it can handle any thick metal material. This range is available in Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 formats. It requires minimal operation. You can use our Press Brakes to process metals such as steel, brass, metal sheets and aluminum alloys.
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.
The use of press brakes is common in sheet metal and production plants in many areas, including automotive and aeronautic.
“The accuracy and repeatability are outstanding. I had one job running for five days straight—there was no difference from the first part bent on day one to the last part bent on day five. All of this plus the reduced setup time translates into higher profitability.”
Think gigantically large, highly intelligent press brakes. They can be loaded/unloaded with metal material handling systems and have an endless range of tonnages and bending lengths. Our high-tonnage mega press brakes use advanced engineered technology "box structure" frame design which gives them the most stable machine body. Referees from around the globe have praised our high-tonnage press brakes for their unmatched stability and rigidity. The high tonnage press brake focuses on handling large work pieces prior to, during and following the bending operation. It also respects the next process.
Our Servo Hydraulic Pressbrakes are powerful, efficient metal benders that consume as little as 66% power in standby mode and as much energy during the bending cycle. The servo brakes' ram movement is controlled by AC Servo "electrical" motors which drive hydraulic oil "on request" using variable speed pumps. Our highly advanced technology allows for a much lower cost per piece. It synchronizes hydraulic oil with electric power and electronics when needed. It is hard to find a more quiet, energy-efficient and accurate press brake.
ADR hydraulic press brake and ADS hydraulic pressure brake are equally fast as they are accurate. These press brakes have a superior accuracy of +-.0004 and a repeatability that is second to none. Our concept of "large strokes", high openings, deep throats and high pressure is present in all JMT press presses. This allows the operators to create parts with larger flanges. It also makes it much simpler to remove those parts. Operators will find it easier to setup and control the press at a quicker pace. The end result is more parts in their bins by the end, which means a higher level of quality.
In addition to their robust, industry-leading production capabilities, our machines come equipped with intuitive operator controls that take the stress out of day-to-day operation for operators of any skill level.
There’s no denying that press brakes are one of the most useful tools an industrial-grade metalworker can have. Does your practice need an excellent press brake? Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co has everything your business needs to succeed.
We provide press brakes to help improve your production, speed up production, minimize energy consumption and reduce operating cost. Our press brakes are available in sizes from 40-to-2,000-ton capacities, with anywhere from 3-11 axes. This includes tool layout, collision report editing, back gauge edit, and DiamondSoft(r).
This method can achieve high levels in angular precision. This method is good for sheet metal exceeding 2 mm in thickness.
How does a hydraulic press brake work? Hydraulic press brakes use the power of a hydraulic motor, applying force to the metal and compressing it into a die that forms the shape. The shape of the die determines the final shape achieved by the metal bending process.
There are two types of primary press brakes: electronic and hydraulic. Hydraulic presses brakes are the most common and oldest type of press brakes. Hydraulic press brakes are capable of handling the most difficult workloads.
Semi-trucks use compressed air for their brakes instead of hydraulic fluid. Semi-trucks have a lot of weight so they need air to brake.
4. Choose the correct upper and lower dies for your press brake toolings based on the sheet metal hardness, thickness, length, and other factors. The slot width of the lower den should be between 5-6 times and 6-8 times the thickness of a metal plate. The sheet should have a longer length.
