Next, determine the specific characteristics that must be taken into consideration when calculating the bend. You will need to consider the following:
Backed by Standard Industrial's reputation for durability and repeatability, our press brake machines offer important advantages over other models.

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.
Standard Industrial presses brakes have full stroke length and tonnage all the way around the bed and ram. Standard Industrial brakes are easier to use than dual brakes that have complex hydraulic systems to balance the tonnage. Competitor press braking systems require large quantities of labor and parts. Businesses are forced to pay exorbitant amounts for parts and labor which they can only purchase from the manufacturer.

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.
Currently, Standard produces the widest variety of hydraulic press brakes available today. From our ADR 5 axis cnc hydraulic press brake series we offer 20 models and ranges from a small press brake that start at 4 foot in length to large press brakes up to 20 foot in bending length and 7 different tonnages ranging from 66 to 440 tons. Our premium more advanced ADS series is available with up to 14 CNC axis, comes in 32 different models with metal bending lengths of 6 foot 8 inches up to 26 foot 5 inches. Our ADS series machines are top end precision and powerful metal benders offered in 13 different tonnages with capacities of up to 3,300 tons! In addition to these two popular press brake series, we also offer the PBF series for the customer that needs a no frill press brake. On the other side of the coin is the sophisticated AD Servo brakes that have a hybrid hydraulic configuration and ball screws for energy efficiency and quiet operation. Lastly, Standard brings to market the FBS series which equates to the “flexible bending solutions” press brakes. Our FBS series brakes are typically high tonnage press brakes made to order to customer exact specifications with the option of running tandem or even trio press brakes, and material automation and handling options of every description.
Most press brakes are meant to be operated in the centre of the press. Standard Industrial press braking systems can handle off-center loading if there is significant force needed near the brake's ends.
At Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co , we carry a wide variety of hydraulic press brake models to meet the unique needs of the various businesses we serve throughout the country. Our press brakes range in size from 22 tons to 440 tons and bed lengths from 4’ to 13’ with CNC or manual controls. In addition to our standard inventory, we can accommodate custom orders for specialty length requests and tonnage. All of our press brakes include safety devices and a rear safety cage that disables the machine when opened for easy and secure maintenance. All electrical components use industry-standard parts, which are readily available in our Memphis, TN warehouse. Download a pdf for more details on each model.
The Press Brakes have a two-position pedestal control and a three-position footswitch. This feature allows operators the ability to use palm button during fast pressing speeds and the footswitch while slowing down.
An automatic system for lubrication is an air-operated timed system that brings grease to all lubrication points except the backgauge screws. This option is ideal for multiple shift operations. All press brakes feature a standard central lubrication system.
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.
Other elements should be taken into account when calculating this margin, such as the thickness of the punch blade, the length of the fold and the opening of the V.
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.
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.
The most common reason for a soft/spongy pedal is air in the brake lines. Breathing in air can cause the brake pedal to feel soft or spongy. If your brakes feel spongy or soft, it is time to flush or change the brake fluid.

Hydraulic brakes use brake fluid within sealed tubing between the lever and caliper. This fluid is usually either DOT fluid, or mineral oil/fluid. Both fluids can cause contamination over time so it is important to flush the system and have fluid changed periodically.
Brake Pads May be Damaged by WD40 WD40 is not an oil cleaner. It is an oil, and should not be used on a friction surface. The friction surface of brake pads is called WD40. If you spray WD40 on them, they will need to be replaced or cleaned.
