Take all the outstanding machine capabilities and combine them with our industry-renowned service (on average, 2 1/2 service technicians per salesperson), well-staffed emergency line and parts department. We can also help you to set up your press brake. With the right tools, we are factory-trained and certified Wila & Wilson tooling specialists.
In addition to being industry-leading in production, our machines also come equipped with intuitive operator control that takes the stress out daily operation for operators of all skill levels.
After determining these characteristics, calculate the tonnage needed for the bending operation.
Machines that press brake sheet metal are used to form long sheets. These sheets are commonly used in manufacturing, for industrial applications, or to make components for other devices. Most press brakes have a rating based on their pressability and their bending length. This information is expressed as numbers (e.g., total pressure per inch, or pounds of pressurized material per inch). They are available in many sizes and can often be equipped with additional tools and add-ons to make custom components. The two main types of presses brakes that you will find are hydraulic and mechanical. In the following sections, we will explain the main features and distinguish between the two types.
This dual drive hybrid makes it easy to do any project. It has long-term, high speeds, and is energy-efficient.
Standard Industrial Press brakes offer a variety of tonnages to meet your needs, whether your project requires one or more dies.
This will allow the machine to run at a constant speed, making it easier for alignment and loading/unloading tooling.
Whatever your bending needs may be, the BB series will meet them all.
We also offer a variety of Press Brakes that are hydraulically controlled. The bending power of the brake is strong enough to handle large work-pieces. Because of its large tonnage, it can handle any thick metal material. This range is available in Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 formats. It requires minimal operation. You can use our Press Brakes to process metals such as steel, brass, metal sheets and aluminum alloys.
These machines are efficient and fast, and run more consistently than their predecessors.
Each Standard hydraulic press brake is thoroughly checked in Rockford, Illinois as part of our Perfect Machine Process.
All standard press brakes have an in-line stop for depth. A precise mechanical limit switch controls open height, speed change points, and micrometer adjustments to achieve precise angles. This feature eliminates downtime from computer failure. Some CNC controls may not support this feature.
You can use presses in sheet metal fabrication and production plants in many sectors such as automotive and aeronautics.
What's the secret to a Piranha Press Brake? Our current models are new, but we've been making press brakes since 1998. We've designed and built some amazing machines, including the single-cylinder or dual-cylinder press brakes, that our customers still love today. However, the cost of steel fabrication in the U. S. was prohibitive. After the end of production, customers and dealers asked us to build another press brake. They were happy with our machine and the way we treated them. They appreciated having one place to purchase or get service on any of the equipment they used in their shop.

Hydraulic brakes are easy to maintain, provided you properly bleed the system and make sure there are no leaks.
The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
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.
A press brake is a machine that bends metal parts and sheets up 20mm thick.
