Warning: incorrect tonnage, which is too high or low, can cause damage or irreparable injury to your press brake. Refer to the manual or a table to calculate the weight of your press brake.
This method can achieve high levels in angular precision. This method is good for sheet metal exceeding 2 mm in thickness.
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?
Hydraulic press brakes use hydraulic pressure to push the ram down instead of relying on mechanics. They can have multiple cylinders, which gives the operator greater control over the bend. This results in a bend that is highly customizable and precise. Hydraulic press brakes have certain disadvantages. They cannot exceed their rated tonnage. Mechanical press brakes are a good choice if your project is flexible.
The PA Plus series combines versatility and functionality in one powerful package. The PA Plus series has a wide variety of accessories to make it a customized solution.
The game-changing tool changer gives press brake operators real-time data that can help them perform better.

The next step is to determine the characteristics that will be used to calculate the part bend. For example:
This method offers high levels of precision and angular accuracy. This method is ideal for sheet metal with a thickness of more than 2 mm.
Once these characteristics are determined, it is time to calculate the tonnage necessary for the bending operation.
One-of-a kind technology that provides press brake operators with efficient, high-quality results.
Early generations of press brakes only had one axis of motion to make bends. They were much more limited compared to modern machines with 12 or more programmable axes of movement. Modern press brakes are highly precise and create graphical representations of the end result to aid the operator. Newer computers have dramatically reduced the setup time as well. They’re able to quickly calculate optimal settings based on materials being used, its dimensions, and the desired results. These calculations used to be done by hand, back in the day.
These machines are efficient and fast, and run more consistently than their predecessors.
ADR and ADS hydraulic brakes are just as fast as they can be. These press brakes make it the best machine in the world, with repeatability and accuracy to match. Our JMT line of press brakes has the same concept as all other JMT presses. These machines have large strokes, high openings or deep throats that allow operators to make more complicated parts. You will have more parts in your bin by the end the shift thanks to a faster setup and more operator friendly controls.
Whatever your bending needs, our BH series is here to make sure that power, precision, and profit are never far away.
Brake discs are designed to last for at least 50,000 miles, although there are many factors that can affect their lifespan. You may get as many as 80,000 miles from one set if you take care of them and drive responsibly.
