For almost every metal fabrication shop, press brakes are essential. Although they are one the most valuable and sought-after pieces of machinery in a shop's arsenal, they are often misunderstood even by professionals. We have created this simple guide for laymen to help you understand press brakes.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co is a Member the American Welding Society (NOMMA) and the National Glass Association (NGA).
After determining these characteristics, calculate the tonnage needed for the bending operation.
Flexible and reliable bending performance thanks to the patented HEXA®-C(r), frame - all in a compact package.
Our presses will streamline your work flow, increase production speeds and optimize energy consumption. They can also help reduce operating costs. Our press brakes come in 40- to 2000-ton capacities. They have between 3 and 11, with tool layout and collision check.
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.
This game-changing tool changer provides real-time information that allows any press brake operator to perform at their best.
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.
Before choosing your press brake, you must first know the type of metal you want to bend (stainless steel, 16 gauge mild steel, etc.)
This game-changing tool changer offers real-time info that will help any press brake operator perform more effectively.
The CNC technology system-the Computerized Numeric Control is used to design our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Hydraulic Press Brakes. This system uses a blast system to remove rust from the work-piece's surface. Our range of dual bending machines are completely electrically powered because they run on Servo Electric systems. They don't require any hydraulic oiling, and their energy consumption is very low.

No matter what your bending requirements, the BH series can help you make sure power, precision and profit are always within reach.
Rare earth magnets can withstand pressures up to 9,000 lbs per square inch, but not for what you might think. The Internet has seen hydraulic presses crush things for a while.
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.
Nearly all modern car crushers use hydraulic presses to crush cars. A pump pushes hydraulic fluid through large cylinders to power a large motor. Using principles of force-multiplication, a hydraulic system can generate over 2,000 psi and impart more than 150 tons of crushing force onto a pile of scrap cars.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
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.
