When I Press My Brakes I Hear Air

8' Hydraulic Press Brake

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.

It's obvious that press brakes can be a very useful tool for industrial-grade metalworkers. Do you need a press brake for your business? Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co offers everything you need to make your business a success.

Press Brake Hydraulic —

There are two ways press brakes can bend metal. The first is called bottom bending because the ram will press the metal to the bottom of the die. Bottom bending results in highly accurate bends and relies less on the press brake machine itself. The downside is each tool is they're made to create one specific bend, so you’ll need to purchase a new one for every angle you want to make. Air bending leaves an air pocket between the ram and the bottom of the die. This allows the operator to accommodate for any spring back the material might provide. These types of dies only need to be changed if the material’s thickness is too much. Air bending’s drawback is the accuracy of the angle is affected by the material’s thickness, so the ram needs to be changed out accordingly.

You are looking for the perfect combination of serious bend power and cost-efficient operation with no compromises on quality or output.

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.

Flexible and reliable bending performance thanks to the patented HEXA®-C(r), frame - all in a compact package.

We also have a range of Press Brakes designed on the hydraulic control system. Its bending capacity is capable of handling thick work-pieces. As a result of its tonnage capacity, it works efficiently on any thick metal material. This range is built in either Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 formats and requires no complex operation to function. Materials that can be processed on our Press Brakes include steel, brass, metal sheets, and aluminum alloys.

The press brake is an indispensable tool for any industrial-grade worker. Are you looking for a quality press brake to help your business run smoothly? Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co has everything your company needs to succeed.

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.

Oil Level

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.

Adjust the bending angle in accordance with the metal spring back, and then calculate the margin. Accordingly, for example, 90deg bends, the punch should be reduced to 85deg.

Experts estimate that hydraulic brakes require twice as much electrical energy to operate an electric press brake. The hydraulic motors, pumps and oil that hydraulic press brakes use to operate the machine keep it running, even when it's not in use.

Air brakes can be described as three types of braking systems: emergency brake, parking brake and service brake. The service brake system applies the brakes and then releases them when you press the brake pedal while driving.

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.
