A range of Press Brakes are also available that use the hydraulic control system. Its high bending strength allows it to handle thick workpieces. It can work with any thickness of metal due to its high tonnage. The range can be configured in Single Cylinder or Dual Cylinder formats Y1+Y2 and does not require complex operation. Our Press Brakes can process steel, brass and metal sheets as well as aluminum alloys.
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.
We offer press brakes that can help streamline your workflow, increase production speeds, optimize energy consumption and reduce operating costs. Our press brakes range from 40- to 2,000-ton capacities with anywhere between 3 and 11 axes, featuring tool layout, collision check, bend reports, back gauge editing and DiamondSoft® software with auto tooling.
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.
PBF value series CNC brake press line manufactured for high performance to price ratio. We offer our lowest priced brake press line in 3 popular models to choose from. Each is equipped with our Easy Bend CNC controller which is easy to learn in 5 minutes or less using a simplified display with less buttons, more productive with enter & go specifications for desired angles, no programming required, USB interface for backups, easy shifting to CNC advantage controller by plug in giving brake operators more effective and basic control than a conventional brake press. Keeping metal bending simple at a price you can afford.
The tonnage of a Hydraulic Press Brake, also known as the Press Capacity, is what determines how large a work-piece can be processed by the Press Brake. It is also the unit of force measurement that a press brake can deliver. This is what bends work pieces into desired/specific degrees. Our Press Brakes can handle tonnages from 30 to 3000 tons, while the bed lengths start at 4 feet and go up to nearly 30 feet.
A motor in the device drives mechanical press brakes. The large flywheel spins at high speeds by the motor. The flywheel is controlled through a clutch by the operator. Once the clutch has been activated, the remaining parts are set into motion to bend and bend the metal. The mechanical press brake has an easier operation, thanks to its electronic components. Because of their mechanical design, they can handle tonnages up to three times greater than their inherent rating. However, mechanical press brakes are not able to be reversed. The ram inside the machine must complete the full cycle after it engages. This can cause safety issues if the operator is not careful and may also limit the machine's capabilities. If the ram travels far enough, the press brake can become locked.
Our top-end precision press brakes offer a wide range of features, including better controls, more parts production, larger daylight openings, and greater work areas. The features include an AC servo motor-driven, stable back gauge system with long ram guides that are mounted on the outside of the frame. These guides provide stability and allow for full length between frames to allow for acute angle bending.
This revolutionary tool changer gives press brake operators real-time information to help them perform better.
In addition to being industry-leading in production, our machines also come equipped with intuitive operator control that takes the stress out daily operation for operators of all skill levels.
High productivity, heavy duty bending performance, intuitive operation - all in one cost-efficient package
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.
This method provides a high level of angular precision.It is suitable for sheet metal over 2 mm thick.
Machines that press brake sheet metal are used to form long sheets. These sheets are commonly used in manufacturing, for industrial applications, or to make components for other devices. Most press brakes have a rating based on their pressability and their bending length. This information is expressed as numbers (e.g., total pressure per inch, or pounds of pressurized material per inch). They are available in many sizes and can often be equipped with additional tools and add-ons to make custom components. The two main types of presses brakes that you will find are hydraulic and mechanical. In the following sections, we will explain the main features and distinguish between the two types.
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 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.
Material Type and Thickness Maximum Material Length. Complexity of bends. Accuracy of Bend. Per day, number of parts required. Each day, there are approximately 2,000 parts/tooling changes. Level of skill for press brake operator.
Your car could stop if you hit the brakes and don't clutch to stop it. This is because your engine revs are collapsing. In an emergency, you will need to start your car again. This can be tedious and time-consuming.
The press brake can do tasks that would normally fall to special machines. For example, press brakes can form rods or tubes from raw materials not usually associated with sheet metal benders. You can also use press brakes to attach various types of press-fit hardware to sheet metal parts.
