High Repeatability

Bottom bending involves bending the metal sheet using a punch with a force that is 3 to 5 times stronger than air bending. This decreases or prevents the springback effect commonly associated with airbending. This begins with air bending and continues at the bottom with cold forging.

Whatever your bending needs may be, the BB series will meet them all.

The torque tube brake is another variant of the dual-cylinder machine. It has two cylinders that generate half the machine's total tonnage. Torque tube brakes don't generate full tonnage throughout the brake bed; they only produce full tonnage at the brake center. Torque tube brakes pull tonnage from each of the cylinders, which can lead to distortion due to off-center loading and full length bends. Standard Industrial single-cylinder brakes do not require balancing between cylinders. There are no complex hydraulic systems that compensate for each cylinder's weaknesses. A single cylinder can provide full tonnage on the brake, so you can achieve a repeat accuracy of +/ *.001' regardless of where you work.

A majority of metal fabrication shops need press brakes. Even though they are one of the most essential pieces of machinery in any shop, they are still poorly understood by even professionals. This guide is a layman's guide to press brakes.

It's finally possible to find a high-quality, durable press brake solution that is both simple to use, and easy to love.

Before choosing your press brake, you must first know the type of metal you want to bend (stainless steel, 16 gauge mild steel, etc.)

A press brake that is well-built will require heavy-duty lower beams. Standard brakes come with a groove at the center of their bed that can hold American-style tools. Standard brakes have the lowest amount of deflection. A press brake with lower deflection will have a longer Tool & Machine Life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.

Hydraulic presses can be used for forging and clinching, moulding blanking, punching as well as metal forming operations like deep drawing and blanking. Hydraulic presses can also be used for rubber pad forming and powder compacting.

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.

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.
