Mechanical press brakes work by a motor contained within the device. This motor spins the large flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls this flywheel using a clutch. After that, the rest of the components are in motion to bend the steel. The mechanical presses brake is easier to operate and maintain, particularly in regards to the electronics. Due to their nature, the mechanical press brakes are able to handle tons two to three-times higher than their inherent rating. The main disadvantage to mechanical press brakes is the fact that the ram within the machine must complete a full circle when it's engaged. It cannot be reversed. This presents safety concerns in the event that the operator makes mistakes and places restrictions on the machine. There is a possibility that the brakes could be locked if the ram travels too fast.
Standard press brakes offer the reliability and dependability your operation needs day after day. Simple controls make it easy to use. Our press brakes have the ability to handle a wide range materials including soft brass, heat treated aluminum alloys, stainless and soft aluminum, as well as chrome molybdenum.
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.
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.
Our BB series has the right bending tools for you.
This method can achieve high levels in angular precision. This method is good for sheet metal exceeding 2 mm in thickness.

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.
