Press brakes were limited to making bends using one axis. They were more limited than modern machines that can program 12 or more movement axes. Modern press brakes have high precision and produce graphical representations to aid the operator. Setup time is significantly reduced with newer computers. They can quickly calculate the optimal settings according to materials, dimensions, and the desired result. These calculations were once done manually.
Before choosing a press brake, you need to first identify the type of metal that you wish to bend (stainless, 16-gauge mild steel, etc.).
This revolutionary tool changer gives press brake operators real-time information to help them perform better.
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.
"The precision and repeatability of your work is outstanding. I was able to keep one job open for five days straight. The first part bent on the first day was the same as the last one on the fifth day. This and the quicker setup time result in greater profitability.
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.
How Does A Hydraulic Press Brake WorkGulf States Saw & Machine is the perfect choice for precise, detailed measurements and simple bends. Co offers two great choices for hydraulic presses brakes in different sizes at reasonable prices. To get a quote for a machine, please contact our team.
For industries and jobs that don’t require the detail and precision achieved with CNC controls, our manual control press brakes offer ease of use when you’re looking to keep things simple. The manual press brakes have all the same safety features of the CNC models, manual press brakes are powerful machines that are easy to get started on and great for more straightforward jobs. They include a front-operated power back-gauge and ram adjust with digital readouts and fine adjustment handwheels for both. Our models range from 22 tons to 440 tons.
This dual-drive hybrid makes short work of any project with long term, high speed, energy-efficient operation.
In the beginning, press brakes could only bend with one axis. They were less versatile than modern machines which have twelve or more programmable movements. Modern press brakes can be extremely precise and provide visual representations of final results to aid operators. Modern computers also make it much easier to set up. The computers are able to quickly calculate the best settings based on the materials being used and its dimensions. These calculations used to have to be done manually back in the day.
This type is best used for sheet metal, as it's compatible with machines with lower capacities. Bottom bending requires more force.
Do you need a reliable machine to bend or process metal sheets and do you want it to be strong? Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has both Single Cylinder Y1+Y2 HydraulicPressbrakes that are capable of bending steel plates and sheets. Fabricators can trust them for all forms of bending. Hydraulic Pressbrakes are simple to operate.
Whether you need the precision and detail of computer-controlled measurements or you want to keep it simple with no-nonsense bends, Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co offers two great options for hydraulic press brakes in various sizes, all at affordable prices.

This dual-drive hybrid makes it easy to manage any project. It has long-term, high-speed and energy-efficient operation.
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.
If your brake pedal sinks to the floor, it could be a problem in the brake master cylinder. Either way, it is important to perform a thorough assessment. Once the problem is diagnosed, you can proceed with the repair.
The press brake is, in reality, one of the most difficult machines to master in the trade. Every sheet metal operation needs to bend.
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.
Three main CNC-controlled axes are located at the top of a modern CNC press brake. These include the control over the bending and back gauges, as well as the control of various productivity options.
