A Mitsubishi automatic tools changer (ATC), equipped with a press brake stands out in many ways.
A press brake is a machine that forms sheets of metal in long lengths. These sheets are often used in manufacturing or industrial applications. Most press brakes can be rated according to their metal pressing capacity and overall bending length. These numbers are expressed in numbers (e.g. total PPI, or pounds per inch). They can be found in many shapes and come with tools and accessories that allow for the creation of highly customized components. Two main types of press brakes are available: hydraulic and mechanical. We will discuss the differences and highlight the key features of each style in the sections that follow.
Hydraulic press brakes are hydraulically applied to the ram to reduce its height, rather than relying only on mechanicals. They may contain more than one cylinder, giving the operator more control over the bend. It produces a precise and configurable bend. The hydraulic press brakes are similar to mechanical presses but have some disadvantages. Hydraulic press brakes cannot exceed the rated tonnage. You may prefer mechanical press brakes if you need flexibility.
Standard currently produces the largest range of hydraulic press brakes. Our ADR 5 axis CNC hydraulic press brake series offers 20 models. They range from small press brakes that are 4 feet long to larger press brakes with bending lengths of up to 20 feet. There are 7 different tonnages, ranging in weight from 66 to 443. The ADS series, which is more advanced and comes with 14 CNC axis, has 32 models. It can bend metal from 6 feet 8 inches to 26 feet 5 inches. The ADS series machines offer top-end precision and powerful metal bending capabilities in 13 tonnages that can handle up to 3,300 tonnes. We also offer the PBF series to customers who need a simple press brake. The sophisticated AD Servo brakes, which have a combination hydraulic configuration and ball screws, are quiet and energy efficient. Standard also brings to market the FBS Series, which stands for "flexible bend solutions" press brakes. FBS series brakes can be made to high-tonnage specifications to meet customer requirements. They can run tandem or trio press brakes and have material automation and handling options.

This dual-drive hybrid makes short work of any project with long-term, high-speed, energy-efficient operation.
In the beginning, press brakes could only bend with one axis. They were less versatile than modern machines which have twelve or more programmable movements. Modern press brakes can be extremely precise and provide visual representations of final results to aid operators. Modern computers also make it much easier to set up. The computers are able to quickly calculate the best settings based on the materials being used and its dimensions. These calculations used to have to be done manually back in the day.
Our CNC control hydraulic brakes provide users with the ability of tackling any project with precision speed and volume. These machines can handle even the most complex jobs with great detail. A removable USB drive can be used to store more programs. The following are key features:
One-of-a kind technology that provides press brake operators with efficient, high-quality results.
"The accuracy and repeatability of the work are amazing. I ran one job for five straight days. There was no difference between day one and day five. This combined with the shorter setup time results in higher profitability.
