No matter what kind of bending you need, our BH series will be there to meet your needs.
The sheet metal can be bent by air bending when the punch ends and the V edges are connected. However, this type of bending has a spring back result. When the punch is removed, the bending force is lower and the metal sheet springs backwards just like elastic.
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.
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.
Our popular precision performance to value-oriented CNC hydraulic press brakes have exceptionally large strokes, daylights, and throat depths to allow cost effective production of simple to complex shapes that require large dimensions for ease of handling and removal. An easy to use cnc control reduces the required operator skill level. Precision accuracy tolerances of .ooo4 and unmatched repeat-ability-you simply won't find a higher quality press brake for the price!
A press brake is a machine that forms sheets of metal in long lengths. These sheets are often used in manufacturing or industrial applications. Most press brakes can be rated according to their metal pressing capacity and overall bending length. These numbers are expressed in numbers (e.g. total PPI, or pounds per inch). They can be found in many shapes and come with tools and accessories that allow for the creation of highly customized components. Two main types of press brakes are available: hydraulic and mechanical. We will discuss the differences and highlight the key features of each style in the sections that follow.
It uses a double axis back gauge to calculate bending steps and bend lengths between the sides frames. These servoelectric Press Brakes offer precision bending, are eco-friendly and simple to use.
Every Standard hydraulic press brake goes through our Perfect Machine Process. It is then thoroughly inspected in Rockford, Illinois to ensure that it is ready for seamless installation in the shop.
The BH series hybrid press brakes prove that not all hybrid presses are created equally. The patented dual-drive design of these third-generation machines allows you to get the best of both hydraulic bending and electric bending. This is even more than other hydraulic, hybrid, or electric pulley-style presses.
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.
For almost every metal fabrication shop, press brakes are essential. Although they are one the most valuable and sought-after pieces of machinery in a shop's arsenal, they are often misunderstood even by professionals. We have created this simple guide for laymen to help you understand press brakes.
Do you need a strong and reliable machine for processing and bending metal sheets? At Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 Hydraulic Press Brakes are capable of bending metal sheets and plates without hassles. They are strong and can be relied upon by fabricators for various form bending. The operation of our Hydraulic Press Brakes is quite simple as it basically requires that the material being worked on is fastened on the bed while the ram descends on it.
"The accuracy is amazing and the repeatability are excellent. Five days running a job, I saw no difference between the first and last parts bent on day one. The same thing happened on day five. This plus the faster setup time translate to higher profitability.
It runs on a double axis back gauge system and is capable of automated bending step calculation and also bending lengths that are full between the side frames. These servo-electric Press Brakes are big on precision bending, eco-friendly, easy to use and require the least maintenance cost.
Semi-trucks use compressed air for their brakes instead of hydraulic fluid. Semi-trucks have a lot of weight so they need air to brake.
The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
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.

A hydraulic press crushed a worker to death in an industrial accident. Two workers were placing materials under hydraulic presses. An online video of the incident shows this. While the victim was fixing the materials, the worker controlling the machine turned the engine on.
