Generally, the tonnage of a Hydraulic Press Brake is also known as the Press Capacity and is what determines the size of the work-piece that can be processed on the Press Brake and the unit of force measurement which is a press brake can deliver and is what bends work-pieces into desired/specific degrees. The tonnage range of our Press Brakes is between 30 tons to 3000 tons while the bed lengths begin at 4 feet and ranges up to almost 30 feet.
We also stock a range Press Brakes that can be used with hydraulic control systems. The hydraulic control system can bend large workpieces. It is able to work efficiently with thick metal materials due to its huge tonnage. The range can operate in Single Cylinder, Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 format and doesn't require any complicated operations. Our Press Brakes are capable of processing steel, brass or metal sheets.
C Clamp Brake CaliperAs part of our Perfect Machine Process, every Standard hydraulic press brake is rigorously inspected in our Rockford, Illinois, facility so that it’s ready for seamless installation in your shop.
Standard Industrial provides labor on-site for unresolved problems during the first five year. The warranty is valid for three shifts per day, and 24 hour days. Each machine can also be eligible for an optional 7 year extended warranty that extends the parts guarantee by two years.
It has been said, "The little guys sometimes punch well beyond their weight class." Our 4 foot small press brake proves this. This compact bender features a CNC controlled back gauge on the X axis, tangs for euro or american style toolsing, an LED rear light, two sliding front supports with a line rail and a dual station with a palm/foot switch. This compact, precise small press brake is sure to impress.
The press brake is a machine that forms lengths of sheet metal. These sheets are used for manufacturing, industrial applications, and as parts of other devices. The most common press brakes are rated based on their ability to press metal and their overall length. This is expressed in numbers, such as total PPI or pounds of pressure per square inch. You can find them in many different forms. They often come with add-ons and tooling that allow you to make highly customized parts. There are two types of press brakes: hydraulic and mechanical. We'll explain each style and break down its differences in the following sections.
Mechanical press brakes operate via a motor inside the device. This motor spins a large flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls the flywheel through a clutch, which then sets the rest of the parts into motion to bend the metal. The mechanical press brake is much more straightforward, especially regarding its electronics, making maintenance and operation easy. They can also handle tonnages two to three times higher than their inherent rating, due to the nature of the mechanisms. The primary disadvantage of using mechanical press brakes is that the ram inside the machine must complete a full cycle when engaged and cannot be reversed. This creates some safety concerns if the operator makes a mistake and sets some limitations on the machine. One possible hazard is the potential for the press brake to become locked if the ram travels too far.
A fully automated press brake solution can reduce the stress on your production lines, and help you to keep your mind and your business in check. But how can this be done?
These press brakes are massively large and highly intelligent. They can handle an unlimited number of tonnages, bending lengths and metal material handling methods. Our mega brakes with high tonnage use an advanced engineered technology frame called "box construction". This makes them the most stable brake machines in the entire world. Referees around the world have confirmed the unbeatable stability and rigidity our large high-tonnage press brakes that incorporate our box frame construction design. Our high-tonnage press brake also minimizes handling of large workpieces before, during and afterwards the bending operation.
A press brake, a machine used to bend and cut metal sheets upto 20 mm in thickness, is an example of a machine tool. The press brake is made up of a U-shaped (or V-shaped) die and a punch. The material to bent is placed on a die and pressed with the punch.
This method gives high precision in angular measurements. This method can be used on sheet metal up to 2 mm thick.
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.
All this in a very cost-effective package.
Our presses will streamline your work flow, increase production speeds and optimize energy consumption. They can also help reduce operating costs. Our press brakes come in 40- to 2000-ton capacities. They have between 3 and 11, with tool layout and collision check.
Material Type and Thickness Maximum Material Length. Complexity of bends. Accuracy of Bend. Per day, number of parts required. Each day, there are approximately 2,000 parts/tooling changes. Level of skill for press brake operator.
The CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.
#1 Do not keep your car in gear when you're at a stop light. The reason it's bad: It will cause excessive wear to your clutch.
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.
Poor hydraulic performance can be caused by particulate contamination, water contamination and clogged filters.
