There are two methods that press brakes can bend steel. The first, or bottom bending, is when the ram presses metal to the bottom. Bottom bending can produce precise bends and is less dependent on the press brake. The problem is that each tool is designed for a specific type of bend. You will need to purchase a brand new tool for each angle. Air bending creates an air pocket between the die's bottom and the ram. This allows the operator flexibility in accommodating any spring back provided by the material. These types are only necessary to be replaced if the material is too thick. The drawback of air bending is its inability to accurately bend the material. This means that the ram will need to be changed accordingly.
Our Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder Hydraulic Press Brakes use the CNC technology system-the Computerized Numeric Control. This is the latest technological advancement for Press Brake designs. Our dual bending machines operate solely on electricity because they are run by Servo Electric. They don't require hydraulic oiling. Their energy consumption and maintenance are minimal.
Dual Cylinder Press Brake in AlabamaConsider all of the machine capabilities above combined with our industry-leading service (on average 2 1/2 service techs per salesperson), our well staffed emergency service line and a parts section that will blow your mind. We also have the tools to build your press brake. With all the tools available, our factory-trained Wilson and Wila experts are certified.
High productivity, heavy duty bending performance, intuitive operation - all in one cost-efficient package
Before choosing your press brake type, you should first determine the metal you want (stainless or 16 gauge mild, etc.).
These press brakes are massively large and highly intelligent. They can handle an unlimited number of tonnages, bending lengths and metal material handling methods. Our mega brakes with high tonnage use an advanced engineered technology frame called "box construction". This makes them the most stable brake machines in the entire world. Referees around the world have confirmed the unbeatable stability and rigidity our large high-tonnage press brakes that incorporate our box frame construction design. Our high-tonnage press brake also minimizes handling of large workpieces before, during and afterwards the bending operation.
Intuitive operation, high productivity, heavy-duty bend performance, and high productivity all in one cost-effective package
Tonnage is the force that the press brake applies to the material. It determines how much pressure can be applied to the punch during bending.
Real-time information from this game-changing tool changer lets any press brake operator perform better.
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.
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.
Our BB series has the right bending tools for you.
No matter your bending needs, the BB Series is there to help.
Standard press brakes are reliable and dependable, day after day. It is easy to use the controls, which are extremely user-friendly. Our press brakes can handle a wide variety of materials, including soft brass as well heat-treated aluminum alloys and stainless steel.
The press brake is usually narrow and long, so large sheets of sheet metal can easily be bent by it. The press brake bends sheet steel by placing a punch on sheet metal placed on top of a tool. A press brake can bend the metal several times until it reaches the desired shape.
The disadvantages of pneumatic and hydraulic brakes They can be more expensive than a mechanical brake. The fluid used should be compatible to the brake material. Brake failure could result from brake fluid leakage. Maintenance and construction are not as easy as mechanical brakes.
According to the 15th-century definition of brake, it was an instrument for crushing or pounding. The term brake became synonymous with machine, a term that was derived from machines that crushed grain and plant fibers. In its simplest form, a press brake and a pressing machine are the same thing.
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.
Brake Pads May be Damaged by WD40 WD40 is not an oil cleaner. It is an oil, and should not be used on a friction surface. The friction surface of brake pads is called WD40. If you spray WD40 on them, they will need to be replaced or cleaned.
