Your workflow can be optimized to reduce costs, time and effort. You can prevent downtime and product issues by being proactive. Shops can be fine-tuned to meet customer needs. Whatever your challenge, there is an automation solution.
Our press brake machines are backed by Standard Industrial's reputation as a durable and repeatable machine. This gives them an advantage over other models.
Standard currently makes the largest selection of hydraulic press-brakes on the market. We have 20 models in our ADR 5 Axis CNC Hydraulic Press Brake Series. They are small, up to 4 feet in length, and large, up to 20 feet in bending length. 7 different tonnages are available, ranging from 66 tons to 440 tonnes. Our ADS series, a premium and more advanced model, is available in 32 models. They can bend metal lengths from 6' 8" to 26' 5". Our ADS series machines have 13 different tonnages and can bend up to 3,300 tons. The PBF series is also available for customers that require a standard press brake. Another side of the coin are the advanced AD Servo Brakes that feature a hybrid hydraulic configuration with ball screws for quiet operation and energy efficiency. Standard is bringing to market the FBS-series, which is short for flexible bending solutions press brakes. FBS series brakes have a high tonnage and can be customized to fit customer's exact requirements. The brakes can also run tandem or trio press brakes.
Your machine's Delem controller has a feature that lets you run it in safety mode.
A manifold oil system is used to equip press brakes. It brings all lubrication sources together in one convenient location (except for the optional Backgauge screw). This time-saving function increases machine lifespan and reduces maintenance.
Our BB series has the right bending tools for you.
An early generation of press brakes used one axis to bend. They were much less powerful than modern machines with twelve or more programable axes. Modern press brakes are precise and generate graphical representations for the operator. Also, the setup time for newer computers has been dramatically reduced. They are capable of quickly calculating optimal settings based the material being used, its dimensions, as well as the desired results. These calculations used be done manually in the past.
In air bending, the end of the punch and the 2 edges of the V allow the sheet metal to be bent. But this type of bending means there is a spring back effect of the work piece. As the bending force is weaker, the metal sheet springs backwards like an elastic when the punch is removed.
A press brake can be described as a machine tool that is used to bend metal parts or sheets up to 20mm thick. It's composed of a U or V-shaped punch and a die. The material to be bent can be placed on the die and then pressed by the punch. This bends the sheet to a desired degree.
Bottom bending refers to the way the punch bends the metal sheet. It uses a greater force (3 to 5-times greater than airbending) and reduces or completely eliminates the spring back effect of air bending. This process involves air bending followed by cold forging at bottom of V.
For specific applications like multiple die sets used in one stroke or a brake with a greater force that forms a broad range of material, a crowning device may be suitable.
As part of our Perfect Machine Process, every Standard hydraulic press brake is rigorously inspected in our Rockford, Illinois, facility so that it’s ready for seamless installation in your shop.
These lightweight sheet followers can move quickly and easily and are durable and cheaper than CNC models. This system does not require operator interaction and is fully controlled by the press-ram movement. Made in America.
For any press brake to work well, it is essential that the lower beams be strong and durable. Standard brakes have grooves in the middle of the beds to accommodate American-style tooling. Standard is the most deflection-free press brake available. A press brake with less deflection generally has a shorter Tool & Machine Life.
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.
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.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
To pump hydraulic fluid into the system, pressure is applied by hand. The pressure is transferred to another area, and the resultant force can reach 25 tons.
Hydraulic presses brakes can be used to bend or fold metal by pressing it into dies. These presses can be used for both sheet metal work and continuous production. These presses can handle difficult industrial production jobs, from single-cycle operations to automated components.
