The press brake is a must-have for any metal fabrication shop. Despite being the most crucial piece of machinery in a shop and highly valued, many people don't understand them. We've created this guide for you to better understand the press brakes.

Warning! Incorrect tonnage can damage your press brakes or the parts you are bending. Refer to the operator manual or to a tonnage tables to determine the tonnage on your press brake.
Our high-end precision press brakes have many possibilities. They offer more controls, faster setups and production, as well as large daylight openings and larger working areas. Other features include a fast AC-servo motor-driven backgau system that is stable and reliable, as well as outboard mounted long RAM guides (which are long enough to reach all the frames and allow for precise angle bending)
We also stock a range Press Brakes that can be used with hydraulic control systems. The hydraulic control system can bend large workpieces. It is able to work efficiently with thick metal materials due to its huge tonnage. The range can operate in Single Cylinder, Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 format and doesn't require any complicated operations. Our Press Brakes are capable of processing steel, brass or metal sheets.
A Mitsubishi automatic changer (ATC), fitted with a press brake is a unique piece of equipment.
The CNC control hydraulic presses brakes give users the ability to tackle any job with precision, speed, volume, and ease. These machines can tackle the most challenging jobs with precision and detail. Additional program storage can be added by using a removable USB drive. Other key features include:
This revolutionary tool changer gives press brake operators real-time information to help them perform better.
The PA Plus series offers both functionality and versatility in a single package. The PA Plus series offers a variety of accessories that can be used to create a custom solution.
No matter your bending need, our BH Series is there to help.
Standard is supported and assisted by an expanding group of industry professionals. This includes experienced application engineers as well as product specialists and sales consultants. JMT also offers a tooling and parts department that will ensure your machines are running at maximum performance.
The Hydraulic Press Brake's tonnage, also known by the Press Capacity, determines the work-piece size that can be processed. A press brake can also deliver the unit force measurement. This is what bends work-pieces into the desired/specific degrees. The tonnage range for our Press Brakes ranges between 30 tons and 3000 tons. While the bed lengths range from 4 feet to almost 30 feet, they can accommodate up to 30 tons.
Our press brake machines are backed by Standard Industrial's reputation as a durable and repeatable machine. This gives them an advantage over other models.
For high performance and low cost, the PBF series CNC brake press line is designed. There are three models of our most popular brake press line available. Our Easy Bend CNC controller makes it easy for brake operators to control their brakes more effectively and efficiently than traditional brake presses. You can keep metal bending simple and affordable.
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.
