This game-changing tool changer provides real-time information that allows any press brake operator to perform at their best.

Consider 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.

Hydraulic presses brakes exert pressure through hydraulics to lower the ram, and not rely on mechanics. They may be equipped with more than one piston, which allows for more precise control of the bend. This allows for a very precise and custom-made bend. There are some drawbacks to hydraulic press brakes. Hydraulic press brakes can only be used within the limits of their rated weight. For projects that require flexibility, mechanical presses brakes might be preferable.

Fully automated press brake solutions can be a great way to relieve some of the pressure that comes with meeting deadlines and time constraints. But how do you go about it?

Every Standard hydraulic brake is subject to our Perfect Machine Process. Each Standard hydraulic brake is rigorously checked in Rockford Illinois before being installed in your shop.

The PBF Value series CNC brake presses line are designed for high performance and low price. Choose from three of the most popular models in our brake press line. Each model is equipped with the Easy Bend CNC Controller. This controller is very easy to use, with less buttons and more productivity. It makes metal bending easy at a cost you can afford.

The CNC hydraulic press brakes are known for their precision performance and value-oriented design. They have large strokes, daylights and throat depths that allow for cost-effective production of complex to simple shapes. The cnc control is simple to use and requires little operator skill. You won't find a better quality press brake at a lower price.

It has been said that sometimes, the little guys punch well beyond their weight class. This is true for our 4 foot press brake. This compact bender is equipped with a CNC controlled, X-axis back gage, tangs that can accept euro or American style tooling, LED rear work light, two sliding front support supports with linear rails, and a dual foot/palm station with a selector button. You will want to see this small press brake, which is powerful, accurate and fast. It packs a unique bend punch.

Two ways can press brakes bend metal are available. Bottom bending is the first method. The ram presses the metal down to the bottom of a die. Bottom bending is a more precise method of creating bends that require less pressure from the press brake machine. Each tool is made to make a specific angle, so you will need to buy a new one every time you want to bend. An air pocket is created when you bend by air. This allows the operator the flexibility to adjust for any material's spring back. If the material is too thick, these types of dies can be modified. The downside to air bending is that the angle accuracy is affected by thickness. Therefore, the ram must be replaced accordingly.

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.

Ranging from entry-level hydraulic all the way up to heavy-duty, fully customized solutions that cover any of your requirements for sheet metal forming, these press brakes represent the apex of pounds-to-performance for industrial bending.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Nearly all modern car crushers use hydraulic presses to crush cars. A pump pushes hydraulic fluid through large cylinders to power a large motor. Using principles of force-multiplication, a hydraulic system can generate over 2,000 psi and impart more than 150 tons of crushing force onto a pile of scrap cars.

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.
