A majority of metal fabrication shops need press brakes. Even though they are one of the most essential pieces of machinery in any shop, they are still poorly understood by even professionals. This guide is a layman's guide to press brakes.
You will need to start with the new Piranha Press brake. There is limited data in your Delem DA6060 controller's material library. You can add any material to this database easily. A material cert from your source, listing the material's strength, is all you need.
Standard Industrial offers a range of CNC gauging, including a simple, single-line display, user-friendly controls and state-of-the-art 2D and 3-D modeling. The press brake does not come standard with any backgauge or CNC control. You can find a complete range of systems in our separate CNC Controls and Gauging catalog.
Warning: incorrect tonnage, which is too high or low, can cause damage or irreparable injury to your press brake. Refer to the manual or a table to calculate the weight of your press brake.
Standard currently produces the largest range of hydraulic press brakes. Our ADR 5 axis CNC hydraulic press brake series offers 20 models. They range from small press brakes that are 4 feet long to larger press brakes with bending lengths of up to 20 feet. There are 7 different tonnages, ranging in weight from 66 to 443. The ADS series, which is more advanced and comes with 14 CNC axis, has 32 models. It can bend metal from 6 feet 8 inches to 26 feet 5 inches. The ADS series machines offer top-end precision and powerful metal bending capabilities in 13 tonnages that can handle up to 3,300 tonnes. We also offer the PBF series to customers who need a simple press brake. The sophisticated AD Servo brakes, which have a combination hydraulic configuration and ball screws, are quiet and energy efficient. Standard also brings to market the FBS Series, which stands for "flexible bend solutions" press brakes. FBS series brakes can be made to high-tonnage specifications to meet customer requirements. They can run tandem or trio press brakes and have material automation and handling options.
Before you choose your press brake, it is important to know what type of metal you are going to be bending (stainless steel or 16 gauge mild steel).
Our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Hydraulic Press Brakes are designed using the CNC technology system-the Computerized Numeric Control which is the latest technological advancement in Press Brake designs and utilizes a blast system that removes rust from the work-piece surface. Because it is run on Servo Electric systems, our range of advanced dual bending machines function purely electrically. They require no form of hydraulic oiling and energy consumption is minimal.
Our popular precision performance to value-oriented CNC hydraulic press brakes have exceptionally large strokes, daylights, and throat depths to allow cost effective production of simple to complex shapes that require large dimensions for ease of handling and removal. An easy to use cnc control reduces the required operator skill level. Precision accuracy tolerances of .ooo4 and unmatched repeat-ability-you simply won't find a higher quality press brake for the price!
Once these characteristics have been determined, you must then calculate the tonnage required for the bending operation.
Raw power, heavy-duty bending performance, and improved technology – all in a cost-efficient package.
ADR and ADS hydraulic press brakes are as accurate as they are fast. These press brakes are second only to none. They can achieve accuracy levels of +-.0004 with repeatability that matches. These machines are similar to all of the JMT press brakes. They feature large strokes, high openings, and deep throats. This allows the operator to make larger parts and makes it easier to remove those parts. The result is a faster setup, more operator-friendly control, and a press that moves at breakneck speeds. This allows for more parts to be in the bin by shift's end with a higher quality overall piece to piece.
Add to that the incredible machine capabilities mentioned above, and you will be amazed at what we can do for you. If you are looking to upgrade your press brake or make an initial investment, we can help. We have the tools you need and are factory-trained Wilson and Wila tooling experts.
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.
The BH Series "hybrid press brakes" prove that hybrid press brakes do not always work the same. These third-generation machines use their dual-drive design to offer the best of both electric and hydraulic bending: high productivity, precision movement, reliability, and superior savings - even when compared with other hydraulic, electric pulley, and hybrid press brakes.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
Hydraulic disc brakes have the advantage of self-adjusting as they wear down. The caliper's design will allow it to retract a predetermined distance from the rotor, regardless of how worn the pads are. This is amazing, and you don't need to adjust your brakes like with mechanical pads.
Braking techniques: Controlled braking. You can slow down or maintain a slower speed by applying steady pressure to the brake pedal. ... Threshold brake. You can use brakes to increase your car's grip and control on the road surface by shifting weight to the front wheels. Cover brakes.
The press brake is usually narrow and long, so large sheets of sheet metal can easily be bent by it. The press brake bends sheet steel by placing a punch on sheet metal placed on top of a tool. A press brake can bend the metal several times until it reaches the desired shape.
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.
