Press brakes were limited to making bends using one axis. They were more limited than modern machines that can program 12 or more movement axes. Modern press brakes have high precision and produce graphical representations to aid the operator. Setup time is significantly reduced with newer computers. They can quickly calculate the optimal settings according to materials, dimensions, and the desired result. These calculations were once done manually.

You need a machine that is reliable and strong to process and bend metal sheets. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co.'s Single Cylinder Y1+Y2 HydraulicPressbrakes are capable of bending plates and metal sheets with minimal effort. Fabricators can depend on them for a variety of forms of bending. Hydraulic Press Brakes operate very easily. All that is required is that the material to be worked on is secured to the bed, and then the ram descends onto it.

In bottom bending, the punch curves the metal sheet with a high force (3 to 5 times greater than air bending) which reduces or even prevents the spring back effect generally associated with air bending. The process begins with air bending then continues with cold forging carried out at the bottom of the V.

Once these characteristics are determined, it is time to calculate the tonnage necessary for the bending operation.

Next, determine the specific characteristics that must be taken into consideration when calculating the bend. You will need to consider the following:

Hydraulic Oil Iso

Hydraulic presses brakes exert pressure through hydraulics to lower the ram, and not rely on mechanics. They may be equipped with more than one piston, which allows for more precise control of the bend. This allows for a very precise and custom-made bend. There are some drawbacks to hydraulic press brakes. Hydraulic press brakes can only be used within the limits of their rated weight. For projects that require flexibility, mechanical presses brakes might be preferable.

Before choosing your press brake, you must first know the type of metal you want to bend (stainless steel, 16 gauge mild steel, etc.)

You will then need to determine what characteristics are to be considered when calculating a part bend. You can use the following examples:

Our manual control brakes are ideal for jobs or industries that don’t require precise and detailed CNC controls. Manual press brakes come with all the same safety features that CNC models have. These powerful machines are easy to start and great for more simple jobs. They have a front-operated ram adjust and power back-gauge with digital readouts. Both can also be fine adjusted by handwheels. Our models range in weight from 22 tons to 425 tons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Crowning is the method by which press brakes correct for deflections in both the upper beam or lower bed when pressure applies. There are different methods, depending on the model and make of the press brake.

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 presses can be used for forging and clinching, moulding blanking, punching as well as metal forming operations like deep drawing and blanking. Hydraulic presses can also be used for rubber pad forming and powder compacting.

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.

The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
