Single Cylinder Press Brake And PressThink gigantically large, highly intelligent press brakes. They can be loaded/unloaded with metal material handling systems and have an endless range of tonnages and bending lengths. Our high-tonnage mega press brakes use advanced engineered technology "box structure" frame design which gives them the most stable machine body. Referees from around the globe have praised our high-tonnage press brakes for their unmatched stability and rigidity. The high tonnage press brake focuses on handling large work pieces prior to, during and following the bending operation. It also respects the next process.
Flexible and reliable bending performances with the patented HEXA (r) frame – all this in a cost-efficient package
A fully automated press brake solution can reduce the stress on your production lines, and help you to keep your mind and your business in check. But how can this be done?
The torque tube brake is another variant of the dual-cylinder machine. It has two cylinders that generate half the machine's total tonnage. Torque tube brakes don't generate full tonnage throughout the brake bed; they only produce full tonnage at the brake center. Torque tube brakes pull tonnage from each of the cylinders, which can lead to distortion due to off-center loading and full length bends. Standard Industrial single-cylinder brakes do not require balancing between cylinders. There are no complex hydraulic systems that compensate for each cylinder's weaknesses. A single cylinder can provide full tonnage on the brake, so you can achieve a repeat accuracy of +/ *.001' regardless of where you work.
Our energy-efficient, all-electric BB series press brakes come specially designed with a collection of ultra-modern, performance-enhancing features that are perfect for meeting and exceeding the demanding requirements facing today's production machinery experts.
Machines that press brake sheet metal are used to form long sheets. These sheets are commonly used in manufacturing, for industrial applications, or to make components for other devices. Most press brakes have a rating based on their pressability and their bending length. This information is expressed as numbers (e.g., total pressure per inch, or pounds of pressurized material per inch). They are available in many sizes and can often be equipped with additional tools and add-ons to make custom components. The two main types of presses brakes that you will find are hydraulic and mechanical. In the following sections, we will explain the main features and distinguish between the two types.

You can use presses in sheet metal fabrication and production plants in many sectors such as automotive and aeronautics.
Before choosing a press brake, you need to first identify the type of metal that you wish to bend (stainless, 16-gauge mild steel, etc.).
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.
It has been said that sometimes, the little guys punch well beyond their weight class. This is true for our 4 foot press brake. This compact bender is equipped with a CNC controlled, X-axis back gage, tangs that can accept euro or American style tooling, LED rear work light, two sliding front support supports with linear rails, and a dual foot/palm station with a selector button. You will want to see this small press brake, which is powerful, accurate and fast. It packs a unique bend punch.
This dual-drive hybrid makes short work of any project with long term, high speed, energy-efficient operation.
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.
Your car will struggle to stop if your speed is lower than the lowest gear. This can be avoided by pressing the clutch to ensure that the engine does not depend on the transmission. Then, start braking.
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.
Hydraulic systems have many advantages, including power, efficiency, and ease of maintenance. They also have their drawbacks: they can leak which can make them messy and the fluids within them can be difficult to paint or seal.
Hydraulic presses can be expensive and eat up a large portion of machine shop budgets of all sizes. However, choosing the lowest-cost press can lead to higher long-term costs. These are some things to keep in mind when selecting your next hydraulic press.
