Unique technology that delivers high-quality, efficient results to all press brake operators.
You are looking for the perfect combination of serious bend power and cost-efficient operation with no compromises on quality or output.
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.
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.
Standard is currently the manufacturer of the most variety of hydraulic presses brakes. We offer 20 models from our ADR5 axis cnc hydraulic presses brake series. These range from small press braking units that measure 4' in length to large hydraulic press braking units measuring 20' in length. ADS series premium is available with up 14 CNC axis and 32 models. These can be used to bend metal up to 26 feet 5 inches. Our ADS series machines can be customized in 13 different sizes and capacities up to 3300 tons. For those customers that need a basic press brake, we offer the PBF Series. For quiet operation and energy efficiency, the AD Servo brakes are the more sophisticated. They have a hybrid hydraulic design and ball screws. Standard introduces the FBS series, which is the "flexible-bending solutions" type of press brakes. FBS series brakes are high-tonnage press brakes that can be run in tandem or triangular mode. There is also the option to handle material automation and other handling options.
If timelines and deadlines are pressing in on your production line, a fully automated press brake solution can go a long way toward relieving some pressure—on both your bottom line and your peace of mind. But how?
Combine those outstanding machine capabilities listed above and then consider this; with our industry renowned service (we average 2 ½ service technicians to every salesperson), our well-staffed emergency service line, and a parts department that would blow your mind. If your initial investment includes tooling up your press brake, we have you covered there as well. We are factory trained and certified Wila and Wilson tooling experts with the tools on the shelf.
Flexible and reliable bending performance with patented HEXA-C® frame – all in a cost-efficient package.
Standard is supported and assisted by an expanding group of industry professionals. This includes experienced application engineers as well as product specialists and sales consultants. JMT also offers a tooling and parts department that will ensure your machines are running at maximum performance.
Warning! Incorrect tonnage can damage your press brakes or the parts you are bending. Refer to the operator manual or to a tonnage tables to determine the tonnage on your press brake.
The press brake works by using a punch or die to bend or cut metal in a variety shapes and forms.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
A press brake is a machine that bends metal parts and sheets up 20mm thick.

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.
