Before you can choose your press brake you will need to identify the type and gauge of steel you want to bend.
You need a machine that is reliable and strong to process and bend metal sheets. Gulf States Saw & Machine Co.'s Single Cylinder Y1+Y2 HydraulicPressbrakes are capable of bending plates and metal sheets with minimal effort. Fabricators can depend on them for a variety of forms of bending. Hydraulic Press Brakes operate very easily. All that is required is that the material to be worked on is secured to the bed, and then the ram descends onto it.
We also stock a range Press Brakes that can be used with hydraulic control systems. The hydraulic control system can bend large workpieces. It is able to work efficiently with thick metal materials due to its huge tonnage. The range can operate in Single Cylinder, Dual Cylinder Y1+Y2 format and doesn't require any complicated operations. Our Press Brakes are capable of processing steel, brass or metal sheets.
Our machines are built with industry-leading production capabilities and feature intuitive operator controls that reduce stress for all skill levels.
These machines are faster and more efficient than their predecessors.
Press brakes are a necessity to almost any metal fabrication shop. Unfortunately, despite being one of the most important and desired pieces of machinery in a shop, they’re still misunderstood—even by professionals. To help you better understand press brakes, we put together this short, layman’s-level guide.
Hydraulic press brakes use hydraulic pressure to push the ram down instead of relying on mechanics. They can have multiple cylinders, which gives the operator greater control over the bend. This results in a bend that is highly customizable and precise. Hydraulic press brakes have certain disadvantages. They cannot exceed their rated tonnage. Mechanical press brakes are a good choice if your project is flexible.
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 dual-drive hybrid can be used to quickly complete any project. It is long-term and high-speed as well as energy-efficient.
Bottom bending involves bending the metal sheet using a punch with a force that is 3 to 5 times stronger than air bending. This decreases or prevents the springback effect commonly associated with airbending. This begins with air bending and continues at the bottom with cold forging.
No matter what kind of bending you need, our BH series will be there to meet your needs.
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.
There are many options with our high end precision press brakes. These include better controls, more setups, faster part production and large daylight openings. A stable, fast AC servo-motor-driven back gauge system is featured. Outboard mounted long Ram guides are also available (which offer stability while still allowing for full length between the frames) to aid in acute angle bending.
The Hydraulic Press Brake's Tonnage is also known to be the Press Capacity. This determines the work-piece that can go through the Press Brake. Also, it can deliver the force necessary to bend work-pieces into specific degrees. Our Press Brakes have a tonnage range between 30 to 3000 tonnes. The bed lengths are 4 to 5 feet.
Poor hydraulic performance can be caused by particulate contamination, water contamination and clogged filters.

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.

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.
