Tonnage is the force that the press brake applies to the material. It determines how much pressure can be applied to the punch during bending.
Tonnage refers to the press force applied by the brake. It is the pressure that can apply to the punch during the bending operation.
Whatever your bending needs, our BB series is here to make sure that power, precision, and profit are never far away.
Standard currently manufactures the most extensive range of hydraulic brakes. Our ADR5 axis hydraulic press brake series includes 20 models. It ranges from small pressbrakes that measure 4 feet in length to large pressbrakes up to 20-foot in length. We also offer 7 different tonnages from 66 to440 tons. ADS series with more advanced features is available with upto 14 CNC-axis. 32 models are available with metal bending lengths ranging from 6 foot 8 inches to 26 foot 5 inch. Our ADS Series machines are high-end precision metal benders with powerful capacities up to 3.300 tons. These two most popular series of press brakes are also offered by us. We also offer the PBF range for those who require a more basic press brake. There is also the AD Servo brakes which feature a combination of hydraulic and ball screw configurations for quiet operation and energy-efficiency. Standard has also introduced the FBS series of press brakes. This stands for the flexible bending solutions. FBS series brakes for high tonnage are made to order according to customer specifications. You can have tandem, trio or even triple press brakes. Also, you have the option to use material automation and handling tools of any description.
In addition to their robust, industry-leading production capabilities, our machines come equipped with intuitive operator controls that take the stress out of day-to-day operation for operators of any skill level.
It is a unique technology that allows press brake operators of all skill levels to produce high quality, efficient results.

You must therefore adjust the bending angle according to the metal spring back and calculate the margin. As such, for a 90° bend, the punch must go down to 85° for example.
Press brakes were limited to making bends using one axis. They were more limited than modern machines that can program 12 or more movement axes. Modern press brakes have high precision and produce graphical representations to aid the operator. Setup time is significantly reduced with newer computers. They can quickly calculate the optimal settings according to materials, dimensions, and the desired result. These calculations were once done manually.
Fully automated press brake solutions can be a great way to relieve some of the pressure that comes with meeting deadlines and time constraints. But how do you go about it?
This type of bending is used most often for sheet metal work because it can be used on machines with smaller capacities than bottom bending which requires more force.

Our energy-efficient, all-electric BB series press brakes come specially designed with a collection of ultra-modern, performance-enhancing features that are perfect for meeting and exceeding the demanding requirements facing today’s production machinery experts.
Flexible, reliable bending performance with the patented HEXA C(r) frame - all within a cost-efficient package
Rapid braking Can cause slipping or sliding if you brake too fast. Slowly brake by gently putting your foot on the pedal. You should leave enough space between you and the driver in front to ensure a generous stopping distance.
If your brake pedal sinks to the floor, it could be a problem in the brake master cylinder. Either way, it is important to perform a thorough assessment. Once the problem is diagnosed, you can proceed with the repair.
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.
You shouldn't use the clutch to turn corners. The transmission mechanism is freed by pressing the clutch, which can affect the vehicle's stability. If your vehicle is in an imbalanced position while you turn, it can lose traction. Depending on the speed, the vehicle may tip over.
Rare earth magnets can withstand pressures up to 9,000 lbs per square inch, but not for what you might think. The Internet has seen hydraulic presses crush things for a while.
