Gulf States Saw & Machine has the right tools for you, whether you need precise computer-controlled measurement or simple, no-nonsense bends. Co offers hydraulic press brakes of varying sizes in two excellent options. All at an affordable price. For a quote on a machine, contact our team today.

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.

Raw power, heavy-duty bending performance, and improved technology – all in a cost-efficient package.

Bottom bending is when the punch curves the sheet of metal with a higher force than air bending. This reduces, or even eliminates, the spring back effect that is commonly associated with airbending. Cold forging is then performed at the bottom.

For almost every metal fabrication shop, press brakes are essential. Although they are one the most valuable and sought-after pieces of machinery in a shop's arsenal, they are often misunderstood even by professionals. We have created this simple guide for laymen to help you understand press brakes.

Our machines offer industry-leading production and come with intuitive operator controls. These control simplify the day-to-day operations for all levels of operators.

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.

The BH series hybrid press brakes prove that not all hybrid presses are created equally. The patented dual-drive design of these third-generation machines allows you to get the best of both hydraulic bending and electric bending. This is even more than other hydraulic, hybrid, or electric pulley-style presses.

Dual Cylinder Press Brake Bending Basics
Dual Cylinder Press Brake Bending Basics

Metal can be bent by press brakes in two ways. Bottom bending refers to pressing the metal to the bottom. Bottom bending produces precise bends and requires less work from the press brake machine. However, each tool can only create one type of bend so you will have to purchase a new tool for every angle. When air bending is done, there's an air pocket between your ram and the die. This allows the operator adjust to any spring back that the material may provide. These dies do not need to be altered if the material's thickness exceeds a certain limit. Air bending has one drawback: the accuracy of the angle is affected due to the material's thickness. The ram should be adjusted accordingly.

Warning: incorrect tonnage (too high or low) can damage your press brake or the part you are bending. To calculate the tonnage of your press brake, refer to the operating manual or a tonnage table.

Our Servo Hydraulic Press brakes are efficient and powerful metal benders. They consume up to 66% less power during standby and use 44% less energy during the bending process. Our servo brakes are powered by AC Servo electric motors that drive hydraulic oil "on-demand" through variable speed pumps. The servo press brake has a lower cost per unit because it uses our advanced technology. This allows us to synchronize the powerful forces of electric power, hydraulics and electronics only when they are needed. There is no quieter, more efficient, or more precise press brake available.

The machine runs on a double-axis back gauge system. It can also perform automated bending step calculation. These servoelectric Press Brakes are precise and easy to use.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

#1 Do not keep your car in gear when you're at a stop light. The reason it's bad: It will cause excessive wear to your clutch.

Nearly all modern car crushers use hydraulic presses to crush cars. A pump pushes hydraulic fluid through large cylinders to power a large motor. Using principles of force-multiplication, a hydraulic system can generate over 2,000 psi and impart more than 150 tons of crushing force onto a pile of scrap cars.

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.
