Single Cylinder Press Brake Guarding

Single Cylinder Press Brake Band

Standard Industrial machines can deliver full tonnage throughout the length of the bed. Also, because they have the most deflection available on the market our crowning is very rarely required.

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.

A crowning unit is a useful option for specific applications such as multiple brakes that form a wide range material or a heavier brake.

Ranging from entry-level hydraulic all the way up to heavy-duty, fully customized solutions that cover any of your requirements for sheet metal forming, these press brakes represent the apex of pounds-to-performance for industrial bending.

Press Brake

We offer press brakes that can help streamline your workflow, increase production speeds, optimize energy consumption and reduce operating costs. Our press brakes range from 40- to 2,000-ton capacities with anywhere between 3 and 11 axes, featuring tool layout, collision check, bend reports, back gauge editing and DiamondSoft® software with auto tooling.

Standard Industrial press brakes are able to provide the tonnage required to make your project a success, regardless of whether you need one or more die sets.

After determining these characteristics, calculate the tonnage needed for the bending operation.

Once these characteristics are determined, it is time to calculate the tonnage necessary for the bending operation.

Numerical Controls

Start with your new Piranha Press Breeze. It's easy to add any material in the database. All you need is a certificate of material from your source that lists tensile properties.

This margin should also be calculated taking into consideration other factors such as the thickness and length of your punch blade, the fold length, or the opening of your V.

Our machines are built with industry-leading production capabilities and feature intuitive operator controls that reduce stress for all skill levels.

Our popular precision performance to value-oriented CNC hydraulic press brakes have exceptionally large strokes, daylights, and throat depths to allow cost effective production of simple to complex shapes that require large dimensions for ease of handling and removal. An easy to use cnc control reduces the required operator skill level. Precision accuracy tolerances of .ooo4 and unmatched repeat-ability-you simply won't find a higher quality press brake for the price!

Hydraulic press brakes can be used for heavy-duty work. They can also be customized to meet customer requirements, from high tonnage to long-length tandems and everything in-between.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

The press brake works by using a punch or die to bend or cut metal in a variety shapes and forms.

Hydraulic brakes use brake fluid within sealed tubing between the lever and caliper. This fluid is usually either DOT fluid, or mineral oil/fluid. Both fluids can cause contamination over time so it is important to flush the system and have fluid changed periodically.

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.

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.

Hydraulic brakes are easy to maintain, provided you properly bleed the system and make sure there are no leaks.
