Intuitive operation, high productivity, heavy-duty bend performance, and high productivity all in one cost-effective package
There’s no denying that press brakes are one of the most useful tools an industrial-grade metalworker can have. Does your practice need an excellent press brake? Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co has everything your business needs to succeed.
Warning: Incorrect tonnage (too low or too high) can cause damage to your press brake and the part you are bent. Refer to the operating manual for details on how to calculate the tonnage of the press brake.
Backed by Standard Industrial's reputation for durability and repeatability, our press brake machines offer important advantages over other models.
Before choosing your press brake type, you should first determine the metal you want (stainless or 16 gauge mild, etc.).
Bottom bending refers to the way the punch bends the metal sheet. It uses a greater force (3 to 5-times greater than airbending) and reduces or completely eliminates the spring back effect of air bending. This process involves air bending followed by cold forging at bottom of V.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. offers a wide selection of hydraulic presses to meet the specific needs of every business we serve. Our press brakes can be adjusted to any length bed, with either CNC or manual controls. They are available in sizes ranging from 22 tons to 440tons and bed lengths ranging from 4' up to 13'. We are also able to accept custom orders, including length and tonnage requests. All our press brakes are equipped with safety devices, and a rear safety box that deactivates the machine when it is opened. This prevents any unauthorised maintenance. All electrical components are constructed using industry-standard parts. These parts can be readily found in our Memphis TN warehouse. You can download the pdf to see more details about each model.
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.
Our press brake models offer significant advantages over other models thanks to Standard Industrial’s reputation for reliability and repeatability.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co is a member of the American Welding Society and NOMMA (National Ornamental & Miscellaneous Metals Association).
This type of bending is used most often for sheet metal work because it can be used on machines with smaller capacities than bottom bending which requires more force.
No one can deny that press brakes make industrial-grade metalworkers' lives easier. Is your practice in need of a great press brake? Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co provides everything your business needs in order to succeed.
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.
Before choosing your press brake, you must first know the type of metal you want to bend (stainless steel, 16 gauge mild steel, etc.)
Brake Pads May be Damaged by WD40 WD40 is not an oil cleaner. It is an oil, and should not be used on a friction surface. The friction surface of brake pads is called WD40. If you spray WD40 on them, they will need to be replaced or cleaned.
A press brake is a machine that bends metal parts and sheets up 20mm thick.
Hydraulic presses can be expensive and eat up a large portion of machine shop budgets of all sizes. However, choosing the lowest-cost press can lead to higher long-term costs. These are some things to keep in mind when selecting your next hydraulic press.
Hydraulic brakes are more efficient than mechanical disc brakes. This means that you will need to apply less pressure to the lever for equal braking power. This allows for better modulation.
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.
