Inconsistent Brake Pedal Pressure

Top Punch

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.

One-of-a kind technology that provides press brake operators with efficient, high-quality results.

Inconsistent Brake Pedal Pressure

The bending angle must be adjusted according to the metal springback and the margin must also be calculated. For example, a 90deg bend requires that the punch be lowered to 85deg.

This dual-drive hybrid makes short work of any project with long-term, high-speed, energy-efficient operation.

For high performance and low cost, the PBF series CNC brake press line is designed. There are three models of our most popular brake press line available. Our Easy Bend CNC controller makes it easy for brake operators to control their brakes more effectively and efficiently than traditional brake presses. You can keep metal bending simple and affordable.

Our press brake machine offers important advantages over other models because it is backed up by Standard Industrial's reputation in durability and repeatability.

An early generation of press brakes used one axis to bend. They were much less powerful than modern machines with twelve or more programable axes. Modern press brakes are precise and generate graphical representations for the operator. Also, the setup time for newer computers has been dramatically reduced. They are capable of quickly calculating optimal settings based the material being used, its dimensions, as well as the desired results. These calculations used be done manually in the past.

The possibilities are unlimited with our top end precision press brakes that feature, better controls, more axes, faster setups, faster part production, large daylight openings and large working areas. Features include a stable and fast AC servo motor-driven back gauge system and outboard mounted long ram guides (which provide stability while allowing full length between the frames for acute angle bending).

Day in and day out, Standard press brakes deliver the dependability and reliability your operation demands. Easy-to-use controls offer an unparalleled user-friendly approach. Our press brakes can handle a wide range of materials, including soft brass, heat-treated aluminum alloys, stainless steel, soft aluminum and chrome molybdenum.

A one-of-a-kind technology that makes efficient, quality results available to press brake operators of all skill levels.

Flexible and reliable bending performance thanks to the patented HEXA®-C(r), frame - all in a compact package.

Our manual control push brakes are suitable for industries and jobs that don’t require the precision and detail achieved by CNC controls. The manual press brakes include all the safety features of CNC models. However, manual presses are more powerful and easier to use than CNC models. They feature a front operated power back-gauge, ram adjust with digital readings, and fine adjustment handswheels for both. Our models range from 22 to 44 tons.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
