Gulf States Saw & Machine has the right tools for you, whether you need precise computer-controlled measurement or simple, no-nonsense bends. Co offers hydraulic press brakes of varying sizes in two excellent options. All at an affordable price. For a quote on a machine, contact our team today.
Before choosing a press brake, you need to first identify the type of metal that you wish to bend (stainless, 16-gauge mild steel, etc.).
This type is best used for sheet metal, as it's compatible with machines with lower capacities. Bottom bending requires more force.
Then you will need to determine the particular characteristics to be taken into account when calculating the part bend. This includes, for example:
Our Servo Hydraulic Press Brkes are highly efficient metal benders. With up to 66% reduced power consumption in standby, and 44% lower energy usage during the bending phase, our Servo Hydraulic Press Brokes are more powerful and efficient than other metal benders. AC Servo "electric motors" drive the ram movement of our servobrakes. They also have variable speed pumps that pump hydraulic oil "on demand". Our sophisticated, advanced technology ensures that the servopress brake is cost-effective. It's hard to find a quieter or more accurate press braking system anywhere.
Many fields use press brakes, including sheet metal work and production lines in sheet metal.
Gulf States Saw & Machine.Co is a Member of the American Welding Society, NOMMA (National Ornamental & Miscellaneous Metals Association) and the National Glass Association:
Combine those outstanding machine capabilities listed above and then consider this; with our industry renowned service (we average 2 ½ service technicians to every salesperson), our well-staffed emergency service line, and a parts department that would blow your mind. If your initial investment includes tooling up your press brake, we have you covered there as well. We are factory trained and certified Wila and Wilson tooling experts with the tools on the shelf.
A Mitsubishi automatic tools changer (ATC), equipped with a press brake stands out in many ways.
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.
Looking for the ideal combination of serious bending strength and cost-efficient operation without sacrificing quality or output?
Standard is currently the manufacturer of the most variety of hydraulic presses brakes. We offer 20 models from our ADR5 axis cnc hydraulic presses brake series. These range from small press braking units that measure 4' in length to large hydraulic press braking units measuring 20' in length. ADS series premium is available with up 14 CNC axis and 32 models. These can be used to bend metal up to 26 feet 5 inches. Our ADS series machines can be customized in 13 different sizes and capacities up to 3300 tons. For those customers that need a basic press brake, we offer the PBF Series. For quiet operation and energy efficiency, the AD Servo brakes are the more sophisticated. They have a hybrid hydraulic design and ball screws. Standard introduces the FBS series, which is the "flexible-bending solutions" type of press brakes. FBS series brakes are high-tonnage press brakes that can be run in tandem or triangular mode. There is also the option to handle material automation and other handling options.
The BH series "hybrid” press brakes show that not all hybrid brakes are equal. These machines, which are third-generation, feature their patented dual drive design. It allows for superior productivity, precision, reliability, energy savings, and high-speed movement.
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.
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.
Your brakes may touch the ground most often due to a problem with your brake fluid. Low fluid levels or air getting into the brake line can cause a spongy pedal. Another common reason for a pedal that isn't working properly is a bad brake booster.
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.
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.
According to the 15th-century definition of brake, it was an instrument for crushing or pounding. The term brake became synonymous with machine, a term that was derived from machines that crushed grain and plant fibers. In its simplest form, a press brake and a pressing machine are the same thing.
