Optimize your workflow to reduce time, money and human effort. You can avoid costly downtime and product defect. You can fine-tune your shop to meet changing needs with unrivalled programmability, functionality and cloud-based machine insight. There is an automation solution for every challenge.
Our press brakes can streamline your workflow, improve production speeds, reduce energy consumption, and lower operating costs. Our presses have capacities ranging from 40-to 2,000-ton and can be equipped with between 3 and 11 different axes. They also include tool layout, collision checks, back gauge editing, and DiamondSoft(r), software with auto-tooling.
Our CNC hydraulic press brakes offer a high level of precision and are highly value-oriented. They feature large strokes and daylights as well as deep throats. This allows for the production of simple and complex shapes, which require large dimensions to be easily handled and removed. A simple cnc control makes it easier for operators to operate. The price is right for a press brake of such high quality.
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.
Press brakes are machines that form lengths of sheet metal. These sheets are typically used in manufacturing, industrial applications, or as components for other devices. Most press brakes are rated by their capacity to press metal and their overall bending length; this is expressed in numbers (e.g., total PPI, or pounds of pressure per inch). They come in many forms and often are equipped with tooling and add-ons designed to create highly customized components. Press brakes fall into two main categories: mechanical and hydraulic. In the next sections, we’ll break down the difference and explain the prominent features of each style.
No matter your bending need, our BH Series is there to help.
Gulf States Saw & Machine. Co. stocks a variety hydraulic press brake models to fit the unique needs and requirements of the many businesses that we serve across the country. Our press brakes have sizes from 22 to 44 tons and beds from 4 to 13 inches with manual or CNC controls. We can accept custom orders and length requests for special lengths. All of our presses brakes come standard with safety devices. The rear safety cage disables the machine when the door is opened. This makes it easy to maintain and prevents accidents. All electrical parts are industry-standard and readily available at our Memphis, TN warehouse. To learn more about each model, download the pdf.
Standard Industrial press brakes are able to handle full tonnage across the stroke as well as the entire length and breadth of the bed or ram. Standard Industrial presses brakes offer a greater repeatability than dual-cylinder brakes which have complicated hydraulic systems that balance their tonnage. Competitor presses require a lot of labor and parts throughout the lifetime of the machine. Companies pay high prices for parts and labor that are only available from one manufacturer.

A motor in the device drives mechanical press brakes. The large flywheel spins at high speeds by the motor. The flywheel is controlled through a clutch by the operator. Once the clutch has been activated, the remaining parts are set into motion to bend and bend the metal. The mechanical press brake has an easier operation, thanks to its electronic components. Because of their mechanical design, they can handle tonnages up to three times greater than their inherent rating. However, mechanical press brakes are not able to be reversed. The ram inside the machine must complete the full cycle after it engages. This can cause safety issues if the operator is not careful and may also limit the machine's capabilities. If the ram travels far enough, the press brake can become locked.
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.
Our top-end precision press brakes offer a wide range of features, including better controls, more parts production, larger daylight openings, and greater work areas. The features include an AC servo motor-driven, stable back gauge system with long ram guides that are mounted on the outside of the frame. These guides provide stability and allow for full length between frames to allow for acute angle bending.
The Hydraulic Press Brake's Tonnage is also known to be the Press Capacity. This determines the work-piece that can go through the Press Brake. Also, it can deliver the force necessary to bend work-pieces into specific degrees. Our Press Brakes have a tonnage range between 30 to 3000 tonnes. The bed lengths are 4 to 5 feet.
This is for realigning dies or off-center loading applications. It takes only seconds to change levels. Our ram level indicator displays the distance from the zero (ram level) point. This indicator is simple to read and clear. Your order can include power tilting systems.
Every Standard hydraulic press brake goes through our Perfect Machine Process. It is then thoroughly inspected in Rockford, Illinois to ensure that it is ready for seamless installation in the shop.
Hydraulic presses can be expensive and eat up a large portion of machine shop budgets of all sizes. However, choosing the lowest-cost press can lead to higher long-term costs. These are some things to keep in mind when selecting your next hydraulic press.
Braking techniques: Controlled braking. You can slow down or maintain a slower speed by applying steady pressure to the brake pedal. ... Threshold brake. You can use brakes to increase your car's grip and control on the road surface by shifting weight to the front wheels. Cover brakes.
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.
Your car could stop if you hit the brakes and don't clutch to stop it. This is because your engine revs are collapsing. In an emergency, you will need to start your car again. This can be tedious and time-consuming.
Crowning is the method by which press brakes correct for deflections in both the upper beam or lower bed when pressure applies. There are different methods, depending on the model and make of the press brake.
