Press brakes are used in sheet metal work and production plants in many fields, such as the automotive and aeronautic sectors.

The motor within a mechanical press brake works by turning a large flywheel. The motor spins a large flywheel at high speed. The flywheel is controlled by the machine operator through a clutch. This sets the other parts in motion to bend metal. The mechanical press brake is simpler, especially in terms of its electronics. This makes maintenance and operation much easier. The mechanical press brakes can handle tons up to three times their intrinsic rating. Mechanical press brakes have one major drawback: the ram must go through a complete cycle once it is engaged. This cannot be reversed. This poses safety risks if an operator makes a mistake or places limitations on the machine. The possibility that the press brake could become locked if too much ram travel is one potential danger.

Why hydraulic brakes are better

Why hydraulic brakes are better

The tonnage of a Hydraulic Press Brake, also known as the Press Capacity, is what determines how large a work-piece can be processed by the Press Brake. It is also the unit of force measurement that a press brake can deliver. This is what bends work pieces into desired/specific degrees. Our Press Brakes can handle tonnages from 30 to 3000 tons, while the bed lengths start at 4 feet and go up to nearly 30 feet.

Each Standard hydraulic press brake is thoroughly checked in Rockford, Illinois as part of our Perfect Machine Process.

Our manual control press brakes are great for jobs and industries that don't require as much precision and detail as CNC controls. Manual press brakes offer all the safety features found in CNC models. They are powerful machines that can be started quickly and are great for simpler jobs. The front-operated power back gauge and ram adjust have digital readouts. Fine adjustment handwheels are available for both. The range of models we offer is from 22 to 440 tonnes.

And then there are the BH series “hybrid” press brakes that prove once and for all that not all hybrid press brakes are created equal. These third-generation machines utilize their patented dual-drive design to bring you the best of both hydraulic and electric bending worlds: productivity, precision, high-speed movement, reliability, and superior energy savings—even when compared to other hydraulic, hybrid, and even electric pulley-style press brakes.

Our manual control brakes are ideal for jobs or industries that don’t require precise and detailed CNC controls. Manual press brakes come with all the same safety features that CNC models have. These powerful machines are easy to start and great for more simple jobs. They have a front-operated ram adjust and power back-gauge with digital readouts. Both can also be fine adjusted by handwheels. Our models range in weight from 22 tons to 425 tons.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
