Single Cylinder Press Brake Bending Basics

Before choosing a press brake, you need to first identify the type of metal that you wish to bend (stainless, 16-gauge mild steel, etc.).

Standard Industrial is able to provide full-length tonnage over the entire length and has the lowest deflection. Crowning is not necessary.

“The accuracy and repeatability are outstanding. I had one job running for five days straight—there was no difference from the first part bent on day one to the last part bent on day five. All of this plus the reduced setup time translates into higher profitability.”

The CNC technology system-the Computerized Numeric Control is used to design our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Hydraulic Press Brakes. This system uses a blast system to remove rust from the work-piece's surface. Our range of dual bending machines are completely electrically powered because they run on Servo Electric systems. They don't require any hydraulic oiling, and their energy consumption is very low.

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.

Bottom bending uses a punch to bend the metal sheet at a high rate (3 to 5 times more than airbending), which reduces or eliminates the springback effect common with airbending. The process starts with air bending, and then goes on to cold forging at the bottom.

Air bending allows sheet metal to bend by using the edges of the V and the end of the punch. This type of bending creates a spring back effect on the work piece. The bending force of the sheet is less so the metal sheet will spring backwards when the punch is removed.

This method gives high precision in angular measurements. This method can be used on sheet metal up to 2 mm thick.

The torque tube brake is another variation of the dual piston machine. This version has two of the machines total tonnage. Torque-tube brakes do NOT generate full torque across the brake bed. However, they create full tonnage inside the brake bed. The torque tube pulls a tonnage of each cylinder. This can cause distortion in the case of off-center loading, full length bends or other irregularities. Standard Industrial single cylinder brakes don't require any balancing or complex hydraulic systems to compensate each cylinders weakness. One cylinder means you have full tonnage all around the brake. You can achieve a precision of +/ *.001' wherever you do your work.

A manifold lube system, which combines all lubrication points into one area, equips press brakes. This saves time and helps increase machine life expectancy.

This revolutionary tool changer gives press brake operators real-time information to help them perform better.

Two ways can press brakes bend metal are available. Bottom bending is the first method. The ram presses the metal down to the bottom of a die. Bottom bending is a more precise method of creating bends that require less pressure from the press brake machine. Each tool is made to make a specific angle, so you will need to buy a new one every time you want to bend. An air pocket is created when you bend by air. This allows the operator the flexibility to adjust for any material's spring back. If the material is too thick, these types of dies can be modified. The downside to air bending is that the angle accuracy is affected by thickness. Therefore, the ram must be replaced accordingly.

Frequently Asked Questions

The most common reason for a soft/spongy pedal is air in the brake lines. Breathing in air can cause the brake pedal to feel soft or spongy. If your brakes feel spongy or soft, it is time to flush or change the brake fluid.

According to the 15th-century definition of brake, it was an instrument for crushing or pounding. The term brake became synonymous with machine, a term that was derived from machines that crushed grain and plant fibers. In its simplest form, a press brake and a pressing machine are the same thing.

A hydraulic press crushed a worker to death in an industrial accident. Two workers were placing materials under hydraulic presses. An online video of the incident shows this. While the victim was fixing the materials, the worker controlling the machine turned the engine on.

Your car will struggle to stop if your speed is lower than the lowest gear. This can be avoided by pressing the clutch to ensure that the engine does not depend on the transmission. Then, start braking.

Three main CNC-controlled axes are located at the top of a modern CNC press brake. These include the control over the bending and back gauges, as well as the control of various productivity options.
