Our high-end precision press brakes have many possibilities. They offer more controls, faster setups and production, as well as large daylight openings and larger working areas. Other features include a fast AC-servo motor-driven backgau system that is stable and reliable, as well as outboard mounted long RAM guides (which are long enough to reach all the frames and allow for precise angle bending)
The PBF Value series CNC brake presses line are designed for high performance and low price. Choose from three of the most popular models in our brake press line. Each model is equipped with the Easy Bend CNC Controller. This controller is very easy to use, with less buttons and more productivity. It makes metal bending easy at a cost you can afford.
High productivity, heavy-duty bending performance, and intuitive operation – all in a cost-efficient package
A range of Press Brakes are also available that use the hydraulic control system. Its high bending strength allows it to handle thick workpieces. It can work with any thickness of metal due to its high tonnage. The range can be configured in Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder formats Y1+Y2 and does not require complex operation. Our Press Brakes can process steel, brass and metal sheets as well as aluminum alloys.
This options list could be almost endless, we will just list the major ones here, if you don’t see something you want, just ask us we probably have it. Since safety is of the utmost priority, at the top of our list of options is the AKAS-LC world class laser safety system, considered to be the best you can get for a press brake. Light curtain Sick C 4000 for combination machines. Additional axis up to 14. Extended travel back gauge to 39 inches with safety light curtain. Sheet follower with motorized height adjustment. Updated cnc controllers from Delem (DA69T) or Cybelec (10S,12S,15S, 3D with PC1200). Quick release clamping, hydraulic clamping, Wila or Wilson mechanical or hydraulic clamping, tooling options from the “who’s who” of press brake tooling. Bottom tool positioning systems, thickness measurement systems, offline software for V-Bend or Profile-W.
A Mitsubishi automatic changer (ATC), fitted with a press brake is a unique piece of equipment.
A press brake is a machine that bends metal parts and sheets up 20mm thick. It consists of a U-shaped or V-shaped die, depending on the desired shape of bend, and a punch. The material to bend is placed on the die, and the punch presses it to bend the sheet to the desired degree.
For industries and jobs that don’t require the detail and precision achieved with CNC controls, our manual control press brakes offer ease of use when you’re looking to keep things simple. The manual press brakes have all the same safety features of the CNC models, manual press brakes are powerful machines that are easy to get started on and great for more straightforward jobs. They include a front-operated power back-gauge and ram adjust with digital readouts and fine adjustment handwheels for both. Our models range from 22 tons to 440 tons.
Manage and optimize your workflow to save time, money, and human effort. Avoid and actively prevent costly downtime and product defects. Fine-tune your shop to meet the needs of the day with unmatched programmability, functionality, and real-time, cloud-based machine insights. Whatever the challenge, there’s an automation solution that can help.
Each Standard hydraulic press brake is thoroughly checked in Rockford, Illinois as part of our Perfect Machine Process.
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.
Therefore, adjust the bending angle to match the metal spring back and calculate your margin. The punch should be adjusted to 90 degrees for a 90 degree bend.
The Hydraulic Press Brake's Tonnage (also known as the Press Capacity) is the measurement of the press brake's force. It determines the size of work-pieces that can be processed and how much pressure can be applied to them. Our Press Brakes are capable of handling tonnages ranging from 30 tons to 3000 ton. However, the bed lengths can range from 4 to nearly 30 feet.
With our high-end precision presses brakes, the possibilities are endless. They feature better controls and more axes. Stable and reliable AC servo motor driven back gauge system, and outboard mounted long-ram guides (which allow full length between the frames for acute angle bend) are some of its features.
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.
How does a hydraulic press brake work? Hydraulic press brakes use the power of a hydraulic motor, applying force to the metal and compressing it into a die that forms the shape. The shape of the die determines the final shape achieved by the metal bending process.
There are two types of primary press brakes: electronic and hydraulic. Hydraulic presses brakes are the most common and oldest type of press brakes. Hydraulic press brakes are capable of handling the most difficult workloads.
Hydraulic brakes are easy to maintain, provided you properly bleed the system and make sure there are no leaks.
The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
