No Pressure When Pressing Brakes

These portable sheet followers are more durable than CNC versions and lighter in weight. They can also be moved quickly and effortlessly. This system doesn't require operator interaction. It is fully powered by the pressram movement. Made in the U. S.A.

Another variant of the dual cylinder machine, the torque tube brake, has two pistons that produce half of its total tonnage. Torque tube brakes are not able to generate full tonnage across their entire bed. They only have full tonnage within the center of the brake pad. The torque tube pulls tonnage out of each cylinder, which can cause distortion from off-center loading. Standard Industrial single-cylinder brakes have no balancing act and no complicated hydraulic systems to compensate for each individual cylinder's weaknesses. One cylinder is enough to provide full torque everywhere. This allows you to achieve a repeat accuracy of +/*.001'' wherever you are working.

This type bending is most common for sheet metal workers as it is compatible with machines with smaller capacities.

Automation solutions can be tailored to meet any challenge.

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.

Warning: Incorrect Tonnage (too high/low) could cause damage to your presses brake or the part that you are bending. The operating manual and a tonnage chart will help you calculate the tonnage for your press brake.

Our machines are built with industry-leading production capabilities and feature intuitive operator controls that reduce stress for all skill levels.

Single Cylinder Press Brake Safety

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.

The game-changing tool changer gives press brake operators real-time data that can help them perform better.

Heavy-duty, spring-loaded die clamps allow for easy, quick die changes. All American-style precision and standard tooling are compatible with our machines. Wila or equivalent can be purchased for press brakes. Style rapid change powered ram clamping system and European clamping system instead of the manual one.

The Hydraulic Press Brake's Tonnage (also known as the Press Capacity) is the measurement of the press brake's force. It determines the size of work-pieces that can be processed and how much pressure can be applied to them. Our Press Brakes are capable of handling tonnages ranging from 30 tons to 3000 ton. However, the bed lengths can range from 4 to nearly 30 feet.

These heavy-duty material supports are controlled by a CNC controller. They move in tandem with the ram movement. The arms' circular arc will follow the part being shaped and is portable and precise. This feature not only gives your operator assistance, but it also enhances the quality and bendability of your workpiece.

Frequently Asked Questions

Five Types of Hydraulic Presses: Why You Need Them

Finally, a neodymium magnetic magnet beat a hydraulic press.

How does a hydraulic press brake work? Hydraulic press brakes use the power of a hydraulic motor, applying force to the metal and compressing it into a die that forms the shape. The shape of the die determines the final shape achieved by the metal bending process.

Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.

You're putting unnecessary strain on your clutch by leaving your car in gear at red lights. It is better to place your car in neutral, and then apply the handbrake to keep the vehicle stationary. The clutch will not be damaged if you keep your car in neutral.
