You can use presses in sheet metal fabrication and production plants in many sectors such as automotive and aeronautics.
You need a machine that is reliable and strong to process and bend metal sheets. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co.'s Single Cylinder Y1+Y2 HydraulicPressbrakes are capable of bending plates and metal sheets with minimal effort. Fabricators can depend on them for a variety of forms of bending. Hydraulic Press Brakes operate very easily. All that is required is that the material to be worked on is secured to the bed, and then the ram descends onto it.
Fully automated press brake solutions can be a great way to relieve some of the pressure that comes with meeting deadlines and time constraints. But how do you go about it?
Before you can choose your press brake you will need to identify the type and gauge of steel you want to bend.
The options list could go on and on. We will only list the most important ones. Safety is paramount. We have included the AKASLC world-class laser safety system as a top choice. It is widely considered the best press brake safety system. For combination machines, light curtain sick C 4000. Additional axis for up to 14. Extended travel back gauge of up to 39 inches, with safety light curtain. Motorized height adjustment sheet follower. Delem (DA69T), Cybelec (12S,15S) and 3D with the PC1200 are updated cnc controls. Quick release clamping or hydraulic clamping. Wila or Wilson mechanical, or hydraulic clamping. There are many tooling options available from the "who's Who" of press brake tools. Systeme for positioning bottom tools, thickness measuring systems, and offline software to support Profile-W or VBend.
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.
“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.”
The BH Series "hybrid press brakes" prove that hybrid press brakes do not always work the same. These third-generation machines use their dual-drive design to offer the best of both electric and hydraulic bending: high productivity, precision movement, reliability, and superior savings - even when compared with other hydraulic, electric pulley, and hybrid press brakes.
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).

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.
These machines have industry-leading production capacities and are equipped with intuitive operator controls, which take the stress out for any operator.
Other elements should be taken into account when calculating this margin, such as the thickness of the punch blade, the length of the fold and the opening of the V.
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.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
With about 70 lbs, the average person can push on the brake pedal. You can apply the brake pedal with about 70 lbs. To stop a moving vehicle disc brakes require 800-1200 psi at their calipers. All parts of the system amplify the force you apply to the pedal.
You're putting unnecessary strain on your clutch by leaving your car in gear at red lights. It is better to place your car in neutral, and then apply the handbrake to keep the vehicle stationary. The clutch will not be damaged if you keep your car in neutral.
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.
