Before you can choose your press brake you will need to identify the type and gauge of steel you want to bend.
With our high-end precision presses brakes, the possibilities are endless. They feature better controls and more axes. Stable and reliable AC servo motor driven back gauge system, and outboard mounted long-ram guides (which allow full length between the frames for acute angle bend) are some of its features.
Once these characteristics are determined, it is time to calculate the tonnage necessary for the bending operation.
Flexible and reliable bending performance thanks to the patented HEXA®-C(r), frame - all in a compact package.
Hydraulic press brakes apply pressure via hydraulics to force the ram down, instead of relying solely on mechanics. They may have more than one cylinder and give the operator more precise control over the bend. The result is a highly accurate and customizable bend. Like mechanical press brakes, hydraulic press brakes do have some specific disadvantages. Primarily, they cannot exceed the range of their rated tonnage. If your project requires flexibility, mechanical press brakes may be preferred.
Finally, a heavy-duty press brake solution that is both easy to use and easy to love, it is now easier than ever to find.
No matter what your bending requirements, the BB series can help you. Power, precision, profit, and profit are all within reach.
These machines are efficient and fast, and run more consistently than their predecessors.
Automated press brakes can ease the pressure on your production line if there are deadlines or timelines that must be met. How can you do this?
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.
This hybrid-drive hybrid is quick to complete any project and provides long-term, high-speed, energy-efficient operation.
The PA Plus series combines functionality and versatility in one powerful package. The PA Plus series is designed for a large array of accessories for a customizable solution.
In air bending, the end of the punch and the 2 edges of the V allow the sheet metal to be bent. But this type of bending means there is a spring back effect of the work piece. As the bending force is weaker, the metal sheet springs backwards like an elastic when the punch is removed.

Your brakes may touch the ground most often due to a problem with your brake fluid. Low fluid levels or air getting into the brake line can cause a spongy pedal. Another common reason for a pedal that isn't working properly is a bad brake booster.
Crowning is the method by which press brakes correct for deflections in both the upper beam or lower bed when pressure applies. There are different methods, depending on the model and make of the press brake.
A 10-foot press brake can be expensive.
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.
With about 70 lbs, the average person can push on the brake pedal. You can apply the brake pedal with about 70 lbs. To stop a moving vehicle disc brakes require 800-1200 psi at their calipers. All parts of the system amplify the force you apply to the pedal.
