For high performance and low cost, the PBF series CNC brake press line is designed. There are three models of our most popular brake press line available. Our Easy Bend CNC controller makes it easy for brake operators to control their brakes more effectively and efficiently than traditional brake presses. You can keep metal bending simple and affordable.
Before choosing your press brake, you must first know the type of metal you want to bend (stainless steel, 16 gauge mild steel, etc.)
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.
You get raw power, heavy-duty bend performance, and better technology all in one cost-effective package.
Our manual control press brakes are great for jobs and industries that don't require as much precision and detail as CNC controls. Manual press brakes offer all the safety features found in CNC models. They are powerful machines that can be started quickly and are great for simpler jobs. The front-operated power back gauge and ram adjust have digital readouts. Fine adjustment handwheels are available for both. The range of models we offer is from 22 to 440 tonnes.
The PA Plus series is a powerful combination of functionality and versatility. The PA Plus series can be customized with a wide range of accessories.
Gulf States Saw & Machine can help you whether you require precise and detailed computer-controlled measurements, or simple bends. Co has two fantastic options for hydraulic press brakes, in different sizes, at very affordable prices. Get a quote today by contacting our team.
Once these characteristics have been determined, you must then calculate the tonnage required for the bending operation.
"The precision and repeatability of your work is outstanding. I was able to keep one job open for five days straight. The first part bent on the first day was the same as the last one on the fifth day. This and the quicker setup time result in greater profitability.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co is a Member in good standing of the American Welding Society.
It is said that the "little guys" sometimes punch higher than their weight classes. Our small, 4-foot press brake is an example of this. The compact bender includes a CNC-controlled X-axis back gauge, tangs capable of accepting euro or american tooling, an LED rear working light and two front sheet supports that slide with a linear rail. There is also a dual palm/foot station equipped with a selector switch. This small, powerful and precise press brake packs a punch.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. carries a variety of hydraulic press brake models to suit the needs of each of our customers. Our presses come in sizes from 22 to 440 tons, and have bed lengths of 4 to 13 feet with manual or CNC controls. We can also accommodate custom orders for lengths and tons. Our press brakes come with safety devices and a safety cage at the rear that prevents the machine from being opened. This allows for simple and secure maintenance. All electrical components are made from industry-standard parts that can be found in our Memphis, TN warehouse. For more information on each model, download a pdf.
The bending angle must be adjusted according to the metal springback and the margin must also be calculated. For example, a 90deg bend requires that the punch be lowered to 85deg.
Standard press brakes have the reliability and dependability that your operation requires. A user-friendly interface and controls provide an unbeatable level of convenience. Our press brakes can handle many materials, including soft Brass, heat-treated Aluminum Alloys, stainless Steel, soft Aluminium, and chrome molybdenum.
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.
Hydraulic brakes are more efficient than mechanical disc brakes. This means that you will need to apply less pressure to the lever for equal braking power. This allows for better modulation.
4. Choose the correct upper and lower dies for your press brake toolings based on the sheet metal hardness, thickness, length, and other factors. The slot width of the lower den should be between 5-6 times and 6-8 times the thickness of a metal plate. The sheet should have a longer length.
Hydraulic disc brakes have superior performance and efficiency due to the lack of a mechanical cable. The fluid system works better than a steel cable, which can be more susceptible to wear and more vulnerable to the elements.
Modern manual transmissions can be used to skip gears while going up or lower. You can, for example, change the gears when you accelerate. However, 3rd may be slower due to low engine revs.
