Mini Hydraulic Press Brake

As part of our Perfect Machine Process, every Standard hydraulic press brake is rigorously inspected in our Rockford, Illinois, facility so that it’s ready for seamless installation in your shop.

Our Servo Hydraulic Press Brakes are powerful efficient metal benders with up to 66% lower power consumption during stand by and 44% lower energy use during the bending cycle. Ram movement on our servo brakes is powered by AC Servo "electric" motors driving hydraulic oil "on demand" in line with variable speed pumps. Our servo press brake achieves a significantly lower cost per part by using our highly sophisticated advanced technology that synchronizes the powerful forces of electronics, electric power and hydraulics only when it's needed. You won't find a quieter, more energy efficient or more accurate press brake anywhere.

Is there anything a hydraulic press can't break —

This game-changing tool changer offers real-time information to help any press brake operator perform even better.

The tonnage of a Hydraulic Press Brake, also known as the Press Capacity, is what determines how large a work-piece can be processed by the Press Brake. It is also the unit of force measurement that a press brake can deliver. This is what bends work pieces into desired/specific degrees. Our Press Brakes can handle tonnages from 30 to 3000 tons, while the bed lengths start at 4 feet and go up to nearly 30 feet.

No matter what your bending requirements, the BH series can help you make sure power, precision and profit are always within reach.

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.

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 Hydraulic Press Brake's tonnage, also known by the Press Capacity, determines the work-piece size that can be processed. A press brake can also deliver the unit force measurement. This is what bends work-pieces into the desired/specific degrees. The tonnage range for our Press Brakes ranges between 30 tons and 3000 tons. While the bed lengths range from 4 feet to almost 30 feet, they can accommodate up to 30 tons.

Brake Bending Machine

With our high-end precision presses brakes, the possibilities are endless. They feature better controls and more axes. Stable and reliable AC servo motor driven back gauge system, and outboard mounted long-ram guides (which allow full length between the frames for acute angle bend) are some of its features.

If timelines and deadlines are pressing in on your production line, a fully automated press brake solution can go a long way toward relieving some pressure—on both your bottom line and your peace of mind. But how?

Bottom bending involves bending the metal sheet using a punch with a force that is 3 to 5 times stronger than air bending. This decreases or prevents the springback effect commonly associated with airbending. This begins with air bending and continues at the bottom with cold forging.

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.

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.

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.

Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.

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.

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.
