The game-changing tool changer gives press brake operators real-time data that can help them perform better.
Standard Industrial presses will work for any size facility, regardless of its price.
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.
Standard Industrial was the only manufacturer that offered a 5-year warranty on parts in a recent study about press brake warranties. Standard Industrial Corporation offers a optional 7-year extended warranty for metal fabrication equipment. It is the only manufacturer that can offer this option.
Any well-designed press brake needs heavy-duty lower beams. Standard brakes include a groove on the middle of the bed for American-style tooling. Standard brakes have the least deflection. A press brake having less deflection has a longer Tool & Machine Life.
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.
Press brakes are a necessity to almost any metal fabrication shop. Unfortunately, despite being one of the most important and desired pieces of machinery in a shop, they�re still misunderstood�even by professionals. To help you better understand press brakes, we put together this short, layman�s-level guide.
Nearly every metal fabrication shop needs a press brake. Despite being one of the most vital pieces of machinery within a shop, press brakes are still misunderstood by even professionals. This short guide will help you understand presses brakes.
Hydraulic press brakes use hydraulic pressure to push the ram down instead of relying on mechanics. They can have multiple cylinders, which gives the operator greater control over the bend. This results in a bend that is highly customizable and precise. Hydraulic press brakes have certain disadvantages. They cannot exceed their rated tonnage. Mechanical press brakes are a good choice if your project is flexible.
Standard Industrial offers a range of CNC gauging, including a simple, single-line display, user-friendly controls and state-of-the-art 2D and 3-D modeling. The press brake does not come standard with any backgauge or CNC control. You can find a complete range of systems in our separate CNC Controls and Gauging catalog.
The CNC control hydraulic press brakes allow users to tackle any project with precision and speed. These machines are capable of handling the most difficult jobs with utmost precision. You can store additional programs on a removable USB flash drive. Other important features include:

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.
Standard Industrial Press brakes offer a variety of tonnages to meet your needs, whether your project requires one or more dies.
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.
The press brake works by using a punch or die to bend or cut metal in a variety shapes and forms.
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.
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.
The principle of Pascal's Law governs hydraulic presses. It states that pressure applied to a fluid within a fluid causes pressure changes throughout the fluid. The hydraulic press has a piston, which acts as a pump and provides a slight mechanical force to a small portion of the sample.
