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.
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.
No matter your bending needs, the BB Series is there to help.
The BH series "hybrid” press brakes show that not all hybrid brakes are equal. These machines, which are third-generation, feature their patented dual drive design. It allows for superior productivity, precision, reliability, energy savings, and high-speed movement.
The PA Plus series is a powerful combination of functionality and versatility. The PA Plus series can be customized with a wide range of accessories.
Think gigantically large, highly intelligent press brakes. They can be loaded/unloaded with metal material handling systems and have an endless range of tonnages and bending lengths. Our high-tonnage mega press brakes use advanced engineered technology "box structure" frame design which gives them the most stable machine body. Referees from around the globe have praised our high-tonnage press brakes for their unmatched stability and rigidity. The high tonnage press brake focuses on handling large work pieces prior to, during and following the bending operation. It also respects the next process.
Real-time information from this game-changing tool changer lets any press brake operator perform better than their best.
Are you searching for the perfect balance of serious bending power with cost-efficient operation that doesn’t sacrifice quality and output?
Do you need a strong and reliable machine for processing and bending metal sheets? At Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 Hydraulic Press Brakes are capable of bending metal sheets and plates without hassles. They are strong and can be relied upon by fabricators for various form bending. The operation of our Hydraulic Press Brakes is quite simple as it basically requires that the material being worked on is fastened on the bed while the ram descends on it.
This dual drive hybrid makes it easy to do any project. It has long-term, high speeds, and is energy-efficient.
Our Servo Hydraulic Press Brkes are highly efficient metal benders. With up to 66% reduced power consumption in standby, and 44% lower energy usage during the bending phase, our Servo Hydraulic Press Brokes are more powerful and efficient than other metal benders. AC Servo "electric motors" drive the ram movement of our servobrakes. They also have variable speed pumps that pump hydraulic oil "on demand". Our sophisticated, advanced technology ensures that the servopress brake is cost-effective. It's hard to find a quieter or more accurate press braking system anywhere.
The CNC control hydraulic presses brakes give users the ability to tackle any job with precision, speed, volume, and ease. These machines can tackle the most challenging jobs with precision and detail. Additional program storage can be added by using a removable USB drive. Other key features include:
Metal can be bent by press brakes in two ways. Bottom bending refers to pressing the metal to the bottom. Bottom bending produces precise bends and requires less work from the press brake machine. However, each tool can only create one type of bend so you will have to purchase a new tool for every angle. When air bending is done, there's an air pocket between your ram and the die. This allows the operator adjust to any spring back that the material may provide. These dies do not need to be altered if the material's thickness exceeds a certain limit. Air bending has one drawback: the accuracy of the angle is affected due to the material's thickness. The ram should be adjusted accordingly.
Flexible and reliable bending performances with the patented HEXA (r) frame – all this in a cost-efficient package
Hydraulic press machines have two main benefits: They reduce weight and allow for material conversation. Lower cost molds and a reduced number of parts. Production and initial costs are low. Capacity to handle high tonnage. It is safer than Mechanical presses. Overload protection built-in Less noise. More items.
The CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.
Hydraulic presses can be used for forging and clinching, moulding blanking, punching as well as metal forming operations like deep drawing and blanking. Hydraulic presses can also be used for rubber pad forming and powder compacting.
The most common reason for a soft/spongy pedal is air in the brake lines. Breathing in air can cause the brake pedal to feel soft or spongy. If your brakes feel spongy or soft, it is time to flush or change the brake fluid.
Experts estimate that hydraulic brakes require twice as much electrical energy to operate an electric press brake. The hydraulic motors, pumps and oil that hydraulic press brakes use to operate the machine keep it running, even when it's not in use.
