The CNC hydraulic press brakes we are most known for have a large stroke, daylight, and throat depth. This allows us to cost effectively produce simple to complex shapes. The operator skill level is reduced by the easy-to-use cnc controller. For the price, you won't find any better press brake!
It is said that the "little guys" sometimes punch higher than their weight classes. Our small, 4-foot press brake is an example of this. The compact bender includes a CNC-controlled X-axis back gauge, tangs capable of accepting euro or american tooling, an LED rear working light and two front sheet supports that slide with a linear rail. There is also a dual palm/foot station equipped with a selector switch. This small, powerful and precise press brake packs a punch.
Press Brake TypesThese machines have industry-leading production capacities and are equipped with intuitive operator controls, which take the stress out for any operator.
Early generations of press brakes only had one axis of motion to make bends. They were much more limited compared to modern machines with 12 or more programmable axes of movement. Modern press brakes are highly precise and create graphical representations of the end result to aid the operator. Newer computers have dramatically reduced the setup time as well. They’re able to quickly calculate optimal settings based on materials being used, its dimensions, and the desired results. These calculations used to be done by hand, back in the day.
These portable sheet followers are more durable and economical than CNC models and can be easily moved. They can hold up to 425 pounds and can be moved quickly. This system is fully actuated by the movement of the press ram and requires no operator interaction. Made in the U.S.A.
A motor in the device drives mechanical press brakes. The large flywheel spins at high speeds by the motor. The flywheel is controlled through a clutch by the operator. Once the clutch has been activated, the remaining parts are set into motion to bend and bend the metal. The mechanical press brake has an easier operation, thanks to its electronic components. Because of their mechanical design, they can handle tonnages up to three times greater than their inherent rating. However, mechanical press brakes are not able to be reversed. The ram inside the machine must complete the full cycle after it engages. This can cause safety issues if the operator is not careful and may also limit the machine's capabilities. If the ram travels far enough, the press brake can become locked.
Heavy-duty, spring-loaded die clamps allow for easy, quick die changes. Our machines can accept precision and American style tooling. Wila (or a similar) is also available for purchase in press brakes. European clamping and style rapid change powered Ram clamping devices.
Flexible and reliable bending performances with the patented HEXA (r) frame – all this in a cost-efficient package
This function is used to realign dies and load applications off-center. In seconds, you can adjust levels. The ram level indicator, which is a convenient tool that shows distance to the zero point (ram line), displays the distance. This indicator is easy to see and clear. You can also order power tilting systems.
Hydraulic press brakes are ideal for heavy-duty work and can be customized to tackle the most diverse combinations of customer forming requirements—from high tonnage to long length, tandem, and everything in between.
No matter your bending need, our BH Series is there to help.
You should also consider other factors when calculating this margin. These include the thickness of your punch blade and the length of the fold.
The bending angle must be adjusted according to the metal springback and the margin must also be calculated. For example, a 90deg bend requires that the punch be lowered to 85deg.
Consider all of the machine capabilities above combined with our industry-leading service (on average 2 1/2 service techs per salesperson), our well staffed emergency service line and a parts section that will blow your mind. We also have the tools to build your press brake. With all the tools available, our factory-trained Wilson and Wila experts are certified.
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.
There are two types of primary press brakes: electronic and hydraulic. Hydraulic presses brakes are the most common and oldest type of press brakes. Hydraulic press brakes are capable of handling the most difficult workloads.
To pump hydraulic fluid into the system, pressure is applied by hand. The pressure is transferred to another area, and the resultant force can reach 25 tons.
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.
The CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.
