Start with your new Piranha Press Breeze. It's easy to add any material in the database. All you need is a certificate of material from your source that lists tensile properties.
The motor within a mechanical press brake works by turning a large flywheel. The motor spins a large flywheel at high speed. The flywheel is controlled by the machine operator through a clutch. This sets the other parts in motion to bend metal. The mechanical press brake is simpler, especially in terms of its electronics. This makes maintenance and operation much easier. The mechanical press brakes can handle tons up to three times their intrinsic rating. Mechanical press brakes have one major drawback: the ram must go through a complete cycle once it is engaged. This cannot be reversed. This poses safety risks if an operator makes a mistake or places limitations on the machine. The possibility that the press brake could become locked if too much ram travel is one potential danger.
Think Gigantically LARGE and highly intelligent press brakes with an unlimited range of tonnages, bending lengths, and loading/unloading metal material handling systems. All of our high tonnage mega press brakes utilize advanced engineered technology “box construction” frame design that gives our mega brakes the most stable brake machine body in the world. The unparalleled stability and rigidity of our large high tonnage press brakes incorporating our box construction frame design is approved by our references all around the world. Our high tonnage press brake also focuses to minimize the handling of large work pieces before, during and after the bending operation and respects the next process.
Press brakes are a necessity to almost any metal fabrication shop. Unfortunately, despite being one of the most important and desired pieces of machinery in a shop, they’re still misunderstood—even by professionals. To help you better understand press brakes, we put together this short, layman’s-level guide.
This options list could be almost endless, we will just list the major ones here, if you don’t see something you want, just ask us we probably have it. Since safety is of the utmost priority, at the top of our list of options is the AKAS-LC world class laser safety system, considered to be the best you can get for a press brake. Light curtain Sick C 4000 for combination machines. Additional axis up to 14. Extended travel back gauge to 39 inches with safety light curtain. Sheet follower with motorized height adjustment. Updated cnc controllers from Delem (DA69T) or Cybelec (10S,12S,15S, 3D with PC1200). Quick release clamping, hydraulic clamping, Wila or Wilson mechanical or hydraulic clamping, tooling options from the “who’s who” of press brake tooling. Bottom tool positioning systems, thickness measurement systems, offline software for V-Bend or Profile-W.
These heavy-duty material aids are controlled by a CNC controller and will move with the ram movement. The arms are portable and precise. They will follow the part as it is being formed. This feature will provide your operator with assistance, but also improve the quality of your bend.
The manifold system lubricates press brakes by bringing all lubrication points to one location (except optional Backgauge screws). This time-saving technology increases machine durability and reduces maintenance.
The bed can be punched in one or more areas. To minimize shock to the hydraulic system, every Standard Industrial press brake includes a counter balance valve.
No matter your bending needs, the BB Series is there to help.
This type is best used for sheet metal, as it's compatible with machines with lower capacities. Bottom bending requires more force.
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!
The PA Plus series brings together functionality and versatility into one powerful package. The PA Plus series allows for the use of a wide range accessories, allowing for a completely customizable solution.
Delem controllers have a feature that allows the machine to be run in safety mode.
The press brakes are equipped with a manifold-lube system that brings all lubrication points together in one place (except for optional Backgauge screws). This time-saving feature improves machine longevity and decreases maintenance.
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.
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.
The press brake works by using a punch or die to bend or cut metal in a variety shapes and forms.
Modern manual transmissions can be used to skip gears while going up or lower. You can, for example, change the gears when you accelerate. However, 3rd may be slower due to low engine revs.
Hydraulic presses brakes can be used to bend or fold metal by pressing it into dies. These presses can be used for both sheet metal work and continuous production. These presses can handle difficult industrial production jobs, from single-cycle operations to automated components.
