We also offer a variety of Press Brakes that are hydraulically controlled. The bending power of the brake is strong enough to handle large work-pieces. Because of its large tonnage, it can handle any thick metal material. This range is available in Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 formats. It requires minimal operation. You can use our Press Brakes to process metals such as steel, brass, metal sheets and aluminum alloys.
The motor inside a mechanical press brake operates via a motor. This motor spins an enormous flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls the flywheel via a clutch. A clutch then sets the other parts in motion and bends the metal. The mechanical press brake, with its electronic controls, is much simpler and makes maintenance and operation simple. A mechanical press brake can handle tonnages that are two to three times larger than their intrinsic rating due to its design. The downside to using mechanical press brakes, however, is that the machine's ram must complete its full cycle before it can be reversed. The operator can make mistakes, which could lead to safety concerns. A potential danger is that the press brake may become locked if it travels too far.
You have a lot of options. Safety is our number one priority. This is why the AKASLC world class laser safety program is the most popular for press brakes. For combination machines, light curtain Sick C 4000 Additional axis: up to 14 Extended travel back gauge from 39 inches to 39 inches with safety lights curtain Sheet follower with motorized height adjustment. Delem (DA69T), Cybelec (13S,12S and 15S), or 3D with Cybelec (1200, PC1200). Quick release clamping. Hydraulic clamping. Wila and Wilson mechanical or hydrostatic clamping. Many tooling options. Bottom tool positioning systems and thickness measurement systems. Offline software for Profile W or V-Bend.
Early generations of press brakes only had one axis of motion to make bends. They were much more limited compared to modern machines with 12 or more programmable axes of movement. Modern press brakes are highly precise and create graphical representations of the end result to aid the operator. Newer computers have dramatically reduced the setup time as well. They’re able to quickly calculate optimal settings based on materials being used, its dimensions, and the desired results. These calculations used to be done by hand, back in the day.
These machines have industry-leading production capacities and are equipped with intuitive operator controls, which take the stress out for any operator.

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.
A one-of-a-kind technology that makes efficient, quality results available to press brake operators of all skill levels.
These work support arms are heavy-duty and quick-releasing. They have smooth transition rollers, precision machined ways and are very durable. Multiple horizontal and vertical adjustments allow for precise control. This system allows the operator to move the arms quickly left/right/up/down, allowing for quick set-up. You can choose between a 24-inch and 36-inch length for the quick-change linear support system arms.
This is for realigning dies or off-center loading applications. It takes only seconds to change levels. Our ram level indicator displays the distance from the zero (ram level) point. This indicator is simple to read and clear. Your order can include power tilting systems.
You must therefore adjust the bending angle according to the metal spring back and calculate the margin. As such, for a 90° bend, the punch must go down to 85° for example.
The use of press brakes is common in sheet metal and production plants in many areas, including automotive and aeronautic.
The ADR and the ADS hydraulic press brake is as fast as it is accurate. With accuracy numbers like +- .0004 and repeatability to match, these press brakes take a back seat to no machine made anywhere. As with all the press brakes in the JMT lineup, our concept of “large strokes, high openings and deep throats is ever present in these machines, which allow the operators to make parts with larger flanges and make the removal of those parts much easier for the operator to manage. With easier quicker setups, a more operator friendly control, a press that moves at breakneck speed, the end result is more parts in the bin by the end of the shift with a higher piece to piece overall quality.
High productivity, high-performance bending, and intuitive operation all in a cost-efficient package
When you travel at a decent speed, the first brake is used. If you need to stop your car or your car's speed reaches the lowest gear, you will need to use your brakes to prevent it from stalling.
A 10-foot press brake can be expensive.
The disadvantages of pneumatic and hydraulic brakes They can be more expensive than a mechanical brake. The fluid used should be compatible to the brake material. Brake failure could result from brake fluid leakage. Maintenance and construction are not as easy as mechanical brakes.
Three main CNC-controlled axes are located at the top of a modern CNC press brake. These include the control over the bending and back gauges, as well as the control of various productivity options.
Hydraulic disc brakes have the advantage of self-adjusting as they wear down. The caliper's design will allow it to retract a predetermined distance from the rotor, regardless of how worn the pads are. This is amazing, and you don't need to adjust your brakes like with mechanical pads.
