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.

High productivity, heavy-duty bent performance, and intuitive operations all in one package.

These machines run fast and efficiently and are more reliable than their predecessors.

Warning: incorrect tonnage (too high or low) can damage your press brake or the part you are bending. To calculate the tonnage of your press brake, refer to the operating manual or a tonnage table.

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.

All standard press brakes are equipped with an in-line depth stop. All standard press brakes are equipped with an in-line depth stop. This feature prevents any downtime caused by computer failure. This feature is not available for some CNC controls.

For any press brake to work well, it is essential that the lower beams be strong and durable. Standard brakes have grooves in the middle of the beds to accommodate American-style tooling. Standard is the most deflection-free press brake available. A press brake with less deflection generally has a shorter Tool & Machine Life.

Hydraulic press brakes apply pressure via hydraulics to force the ram down, instead of relying solely on mechanics. They may have more than one cylinder and give the operator more precise control over the bend. The result is a highly accurate and customizable bend. Like mechanical press brakes, hydraulic press brakes do have some specific disadvantages. Primarily, they cannot exceed the range of their rated tonnage. If your project requires flexibility, mechanical press brakes may be preferred.

The Piranha hydraulic pressing brake machine has a production mode. It allows you to set the fastest processing speed based on material handling abilities. Production mode can also be adjusted in the Delem controller settings.

Gulf States Saw & Machine wants every machine it produces to be flawless before it leaves its facility. The "Perfect Machine Process" allows us to do that. This is a set if procedures and checks that we perform from the time an order is placed up to the time it's installed at your facility. Our machines are checked for speed and quality, including the fit of every component.

A punching application can be made in one location or at multiple locations on the bed. Standard Industrial press brakes come with a balance valve that allows for the lowest shock to the hydraulic system.

You will need to start with the new Piranha Press brake. There is limited data in your Delem DA6060 controller's material library. You can add any material to this database easily. A material cert from your source, listing the material's strength, is all you need.

Press Brake Explained

Standard Industrial's ability to deliver full tonnage across all lengths of the bed is why crowning is seldom necessary. Our machines also have the lowest amount of deflection.

Standard is supported by an ever expanding team of industry professionals, which includes experienced application engineers, product specialists, sales consultants and skilled service engineers. JMT also has a resourceful parts and tooling department to keep your machines working at optimal performance at all times.
