Standard is supported by an ever expanding team of industry professionals, which includes experienced application engineers, product specialists, sales consultants and skilled service engineers. JMT also has a resourceful parts and tooling department to keep your machines working at optimal performance at all times.
The manifold system lubricates press brakes by bringing all lubrication points to one location (except optional Backgauge screws). This time-saving technology increases machine durability and reduces maintenance.
Our press brake models offer significant advantages over other models thanks to Standard Industrial’s reputation for reliability and repeatability.
All standard press brakes have an in-line stop for depth. A precise mechanical limit switch controls open height, speed change points, and micrometer adjustments to achieve precise angles. This feature eliminates downtime from computer failure. Some CNC controls may not support this feature.
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.
A press brake is a machine that bends metal parts and sheets up 20mm thick. It consists of a U-shaped or V-shaped die, depending on the desired shape of bend, and a punch. The material to bend is placed on the die, and the punch presses it to bend the sheet to the desired degree.
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.
This type of bending is most commonly used for sheet metal working as it is suitable for machines with reduced capacities, unlike bottom bending, which requires more force.
"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.

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.
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.
If your brake pedal sinks to the floor, it could be a problem in the brake master cylinder. Either way, it is important to perform a thorough assessment. Once the problem is diagnosed, you can proceed with the repair.
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.
The CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.
Hydraulic brakes are easy to maintain, provided you properly bleed the system and make sure there are no leaks.
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.
