Hydraulic Press Brake Machine Components

Ram

This method allows for high levels of angular precision. This method can be used for sheet metal greater than 2mm thick.

And then there are the BH series �hybrid� press brakes that prove once and for all that not all hybrid press brakes are created equal. These third-generation machines utilize their patented dual-drive design to bring you the best of both hydraulic and electric bending worlds: productivity, precision, high-speed movement, reliability, and superior energy savings�even when compared to other hydraulic, hybrid, and even electric pulley-style press brakes.

Mechanical press brakes operate via a motor inside the device. This motor spins a large flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls the flywheel through a clutch, which then sets the rest of the parts into motion to bend the metal. The mechanical press brake is much more straightforward, especially regarding its electronics, making maintenance and operation easy. They can also handle tonnages two to three times higher than their inherent rating, due to the nature of the mechanisms. The primary disadvantage of using mechanical press brakes is that the ram inside the machine must complete a full cycle when engaged and cannot be reversed. This creates some safety concerns if the operator makes a mistake and sets some limitations on the machine. One possible hazard is the potential for the press brake to become locked if the ram travels too far.

For almost every metal fabrication shop, press brakes are essential. Although they are one the most valuable and sought-after pieces of machinery in a shop's arsenal, they are often misunderstood even by professionals. We have created this simple guide for laymen to help you understand press brakes.

Hydraulic Press Brake Specifications

Our press brake machine offers important advantages over other models because it is backed up by Standard Industrial's reputation in durability and repeatability.

One-of-a kind technology that provides press brake operators with efficient, high-quality results.

Hydraulic Press Brake Kit

A press brake machine tool is used to bend steel parts and sheets upto 20mm thick. It includes a U/V-shaped die or a punch, depending on what shape you want. The material is put on the die. The punch then presses the sheet into the desired shape.

Air bending allows sheet metal to bend by using the edges of the V and the end of the punch. This type of bending creates a spring back effect on the work piece. The bending force of the sheet is less so the metal sheet will spring backwards when the punch is removed.

Hydraulic Press Brakes 86

The motor within a mechanical press brake works by turning a large flywheel. The motor spins a large flywheel at high speed. The flywheel is controlled by the machine operator through a clutch. This sets the other parts in motion to bend metal. The mechanical press brake is simpler, especially in terms of its electronics. This makes maintenance and operation much easier. The mechanical press brakes can handle tons up to three times their intrinsic rating. Mechanical press brakes have one major drawback: the ram must go through a complete cycle once it is engaged. This cannot be reversed. This poses safety risks if an operator makes a mistake or places limitations on the machine. The possibility that the press brake could become locked if too much ram travel is one potential danger.

Standard is supported by a team of industry professionals which includes service engineers, sales consultants, product specialists and experienced application engineers. JMT has a dedicated parts and tooling section to keep your machines running at peak performance.
