Two ways can press brakes bend metal are available. Bottom bending is the first method. The ram presses the metal down to the bottom of a die. Bottom bending is a more precise method of creating bends that require less pressure from the press brake machine. Each tool is made to make a specific angle, so you will need to buy a new one every time you want to bend. An air pocket is created when you bend by air. This allows the operator the flexibility to adjust for any material's spring back. If the material is too thick, these types of dies can be modified. The downside to air bending is that the angle accuracy is affected by thickness. Therefore, the ram must be replaced accordingly.
Our BH series has the right product for you, whatever your bending needs. Power, precision, profit, and profit are all within reach.
High productivity, high-performance bending, and intuitive operation all in a cost-efficient package
No matter your bending need, our BH Series is there to help.
In sheet metal work and in production plants in many industries, including the automotive and aeronautics sectors, press brakes are used.
Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co is a Member of the American Welding Society, NOMMA (National Ornamental & Miscellaneous Metals Association) and the National Glass Association:
This type is best used for sheet metal, as it's compatible with machines with lower capacities. Bottom bending requires more force.
Whatever your bending needs, our BH series is here to make sure that power, precision, and profit are never far away.
Think Gigantically LARGE and highly intelligent press brakes with an unlimited range of tonnages, bending lengths, and loading/unloading metal material handling systems. All of our high tonnage mega press brakes utilize advanced engineered technology “box construction” frame design that gives our mega brakes the most stable brake machine body in the world. The unparalleled stability and rigidity of our large high tonnage press brakes incorporating our box construction frame design is approved by our references all around the world. Our high tonnage press brake also focuses to minimize the handling of large work pieces before, during and after the bending operation and respects the next process.
These machines run fast and efficiently and are more reliable than their predecessors.
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.
Our presses will streamline your work flow, increase production speeds and optimize energy consumption. They can also help reduce operating costs. Our press brakes come in 40- to 2000-ton capacities. They have between 3 and 11, with tool layout and collision check.
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.
Our single cylinder and dual cylinder hydraulic press brakes are made using the CNC technology system, the Computerized Numeric Control. It is the most recent technological advance in Press Brake design and employs a blaster system to remove rust from work-piece surfaces. The advanced dual bending machines we offer are powered by Servo Electric and operate entirely electrically. They do not require hydraulic oiling so energy consumption is low.
The press brake works by using a punch or die to bend or cut metal in a variety shapes and forms.
Hydraulic brake failures are most common due to either loss of hydraulic pressure, or brake fade on steep hills.
A hydraulic press can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $5 million depending on its capabilities and age.
The press brake is usually narrow and long, so large sheets of sheet metal can easily be bent by it. The press brake bends sheet steel by placing a punch on sheet metal placed on top of a tool. A press brake can bend the metal several times until it reaches the desired shape.
Poor hydraulic performance can be caused by particulate contamination, water contamination and clogged filters.
