Every Standard hydraulic brake is subject to our Perfect Machine Process. Each Standard hydraulic brake is rigorously checked in Rockford Illinois before being installed in your shop.
Before you can choose your press brake you will need to identify the type and gauge of steel you want to bend.
“The accuracy and repeatability are outstanding. I had one job running for five days straight—there was no difference from the first part bent on day one to the last part bent on day five. All of this plus the reduced setup time translates into higher profitability.”
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.
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.
For industries and jobs that don’t require the detail and precision achieved with CNC controls, our manual control press brakes offer ease of use when you’re looking to keep things simple. The manual press brakes have all the same safety features of the CNC models, manual press brakes are powerful machines that are easy to get started on and great for more straightforward jobs. They include a front-operated power back-gauge and ram adjust with digital readouts and fine adjustment handwheels for both. Our models range from 22 tons to 440 tons.
These machines are efficient and fast, and run more consistently than their predecessors.
The use of press brakes is common in sheet metal and production plants in many areas, including automotive and aeronautic.
The BH Series "hybrid press brakes" prove that hybrid press brakes do not always work the same. These third-generation machines use their dual-drive design to offer the best of both electric and hydraulic bending: high productivity, precision movement, reliability, and superior savings - even when compared with other hydraulic, electric pulley, and hybrid press brakes.
Do you need a strong and reliable machine for processing and bending metal sheets? At Gulf States Saw & Machine Co., our Single Cylinder and Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 Hydraulic Press Brakes are capable of bending metal sheets and plates without hassles. They are strong and can be relied upon by fabricators for various form bending. The operation of our Hydraulic Press Brakes is quite simple as it basically requires that the material being worked on is fastened on the bed while the ram descends on it.
The game-changing tool changer gives press brake operators real-time data that can help them perform better.
Hydraulic presse brakes are great for heavy-duty tasks and can be customized to suit any customer's needs.
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 margin should also be calculated taking into consideration other factors such as the thickness and length of your punch blade, the fold length, or the opening of your V.

Crowning is the method by which press brakes correct for deflections in both the upper beam or lower bed when pressure applies. There are different methods, depending on the model and make of the press brake.
You shouldn't use the clutch to turn corners. The transmission mechanism is freed by pressing the clutch, which can affect the vehicle's stability. If your vehicle is in an imbalanced position while you turn, it can lose traction. Depending on the speed, the vehicle may tip over.
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.
Re: Use of clutch while braking if it is urgent and you need to stop quickly, then the brakes should not be applied. This will increase engine braking and help the vehicle stop faster. However, it might stall the vehicle.
