No matter your bending needs, the BB Series is there to help.
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.
Press brakes are machines that can form sheets of steel. These sheets can be used in manufacturing and industrial applications or as components of other devices. Most press brakes' bending length and pressability are the determining factors. They are usually rated in terms of their pressure per inch (or total PPI) or their metal-pressing capacity. They come in many types and are often equipped with add-ons or tooling to make highly customized components. There are two main types: hydraulic or mechanical press brakes. We'll discuss the differences in each style and the most notable features.
The game-changing tool changer gives press brake operators real-time data that can help them perform better.
A Mitsubishi automatic changer (ATC), fitted with a press brake is a unique piece of equipment.
“The accuracy and repeatability are outstanding. I had one job running for five days straight—there was no difference from the first part bent on day one to the last part bent on day five. All of this plus the reduced setup time translates into higher profitability.”
Hydraulic Press Brakes For Sale
We offer press brakes that can help streamline your workflow, increase production speeds, optimize energy consumption and reduce operating costs. Our press brakes range from 40- to 2,000-ton capacities with anywhere between 3 and 11 axes, featuring tool layout, collision check, bend reports, back gauge editing and DiamondSoft® software with auto tooling.
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.
You can optimize and manage your workflow to save money, time, and effort. Avoid product failures and downtime by taking proactive steps to avoid them. Your shop can be tailored to meet current needs using unmatched functionality and programming capabilities. You also have access to real-time machine insights via the cloud. Automation solutions can be tailored to meet any challenge.
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.
The PA Plus series is a powerful combination of functionality and versatility. The PA Plus series can be customized with a wide range of accessories.
Our CNC hydraulic press brakes offer a high level of precision and are highly value-oriented. They feature large strokes and daylights as well as deep throats. This allows for the production of simple and complex shapes, which require large dimensions to be easily handled and removed. A simple cnc control makes it easier for operators to operate. The price is right for a press brake of such high quality.
Other elements should be taken into account when calculating this margin, such as the thickness of the punch blade, the length of the fold and the opening of the V.
Hydraulic press brakes apply pressure via hydraulics to force the ram down, instead of relying solely on mechanics. They may have more than one cylinder and give the operator more precise control over the bend. The result is a highly accurate and customizable bend. Like mechanical press brakes, hydraulic press brakes do have some specific disadvantages. Primarily, they cannot exceed the range of their rated tonnage. If your project requires flexibility, mechanical press brakes may be preferred.
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.
