We also stock a range Press Brakes that can be used with hydraulic control systems. The hydraulic control system can bend large workpieces. It is able to work efficiently with thick metal materials due to its huge tonnage. The range can operate in Single Cylinder, Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 format and doesn't require any complicated operations. Our Press Brakes are capable of processing steel, brass or metal sheets.
A Mitsubishi automatic changer (ATC), fitted with a press brake is a unique piece of equipment.
Before choosing your press brake, you must first know the type of metal you want to bend (stainless steel, 16 gauge mild steel, etc.)
It has a double axis servo-electric back gauge system. It is capable of automatic bending step calculation as well as lengths that are full between side frames. These servoelectric presses are easy to use, precise, and cost-effective.
This dual drive hybrid makes quick work of any project. It's long-term, high performance, and efficient.
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.
This game-changing tool changer offers real-time information to help any press brake operator perform even better.
Air bending uses the punch's end and the V's edges to allow sheet metal to bent. This type bending also has a springback effect. Because the bending forces are weaker, the sheet of metal will bounce backwards much like an elastic once the punch has been removed.
According to the metal springback, you must adjust the angle of the bend and calculate the margin. So, for example, a 90deg bend must be bent, the punch must be reduced to 85deg.
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.
It has been said, "The little guys sometimes punch well beyond their weight class." Our 4 foot small press brake proves this. This compact bender features a CNC controlled back gauge on the X axis, tangs for euro or american style toolsing, an LED rear light, two sliding front supports with a line rail and a dual station with a palm/foot switch. This compact, precise small press brake is sure to impress.
Are you looking for the right combination of serious bending power, cost-efficient operation, and quality that doesn't compromise output or quality?
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.
"The repeatability and accuracy are exceptional. One job ran for five consecutive days. There was no difference in the time it took to bend the first part on day one and the last on day five. This, plus the shorter setup time, translate into higher profitability.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
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.
Braking techniques: Controlled braking. You can slow down or maintain a slower speed by applying steady pressure to the brake pedal. ... Threshold brake. You can use brakes to increase your car's grip and control on the road surface by shifting weight to the front wheels. Cover brakes.
4. Choose the correct upper and lower dies for your press brake toolings based on the sheet metal hardness, thickness, length, and other factors. The slot width of the lower den should be between 5-6 times and 6-8 times the thickness of a metal plate. The sheet should have a longer length.
There are two types of primary press brakes: electronic and hydraulic. Hydraulic presses brakes are the most common and oldest type of press brakes. Hydraulic press brakes are capable of handling the most difficult workloads.
