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.
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.

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.
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.
This game-changing tool changer provides real-time information that allows any press brake operator to perform better.
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.
A Mitsubishi automatic tool changer (ATC), fitted to a press brake, stands out in many ways.
The press brake's press force is known as the tonnage. It is used to determine the maximum pressure that can applied during the bending process.
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.
