Next, you'll need to determine which characteristics must be considered when calculating the part bend. These characteristics include:
The tonnage of a Hydraulic Press Brake, also known as the Press Capacity, is what determines how large a work-piece can be processed by the Press Brake. It is also the unit of force measurement that a press brake can deliver. This is what bends work pieces into desired/specific degrees. Our Press Brakes can handle tonnages from 30 to 3000 tons, while the bed lengths start at 4 feet and go up to nearly 30 feet.
Think Gigantically LARGE and highly intelligent press brakes with an unlimited range of tonnages, bending lengths, and loading/unloading metal material handling systems. All of our high tonnage mega press brakes utilize advanced engineered technology “box construction” frame design that gives our mega brakes the most stable brake machine body in the world. The unparalleled stability and rigidity of our large high tonnage press brakes incorporating our box construction frame design is approved by our references all around the world. Our high tonnage press brake also focuses to minimize the handling of large work pieces before, during and after the bending operation and respects the next process.
This dual-drive hybrid can be used to quickly complete any project. It is long-lasting, high-speed and energy-efficient.
Gulf States Saw & Machine has the right tools for you, whether you need precise computer-controlled measurement or simple, no-nonsense bends. Co offers hydraulic press brakes of varying sizes in two excellent options. All at an affordable price. For a quote on a machine, contact our team today.
This type of bending is used most often for sheet metal work because it can be used on machines with smaller capacities than bottom bending which requires more force.
Hydraulic press brakes make heavy-duty work possible and can be tailored to address the most varied customer forming needs, including long length, tandem and high tonnage.
You get raw power, heavy-duty bend performance, and better technology all in one cost-effective package.
In air bending, the end of the punch and the 2 edges of the V allow the sheet metal to be bent. But this type of bending means there is a spring back effect of the work piece. As the bending force is weaker, the metal sheet springs backwards like an elastic when the punch is removed.
The tonnage is the press force of the press brake. It determines the amount of pressure that can be applied by the punch during the bending operation.
This unique technology makes it possible for press brake operators with all levels of skill to achieve efficient and quality results.
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.
Flexible and reliable bending performance, all with the patented HEXA(r) frame – all in a cost efficient package
Once these characteristics have been determined, you must then calculate the tonnage required for the bending operation.
Hydraulic presses brakes can be used to bend or fold metal by pressing it into dies. These presses can be used for both sheet metal work and continuous production. These presses can handle difficult industrial production jobs, from single-cycle operations to automated components.
