Warning! Incorrect tonnage can damage your press brakes or the parts you are bending. Refer to the operator manual or to a tonnage tables to determine the tonnage on your press brake.
In air bending, the end of the punch and the 2 edges of the V allow the sheet metal to be bent. But this type of bending means there is a spring back effect of the work piece. As the bending force is weaker, the metal sheet springs backwards like an elastic when the punch is removed.
“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.”
Imagine giant, intelligent, large press brakes with a vast range of tonnages, lengths, loading/unloading metal material handling and an infinite number of bending lengths. Our high tonnage mega presses brakes feature an advanced engineered technology "box-construction" frame design. This gives our mega brakes one of the strongest and most stable machines in the world. All of our references around the globe are impressed by the exceptional stability and rigidity that our large high tonnage presses brakes have, thanks to our box-construction frame design. Our high tonnage presses are designed to minimize large pieces being handled before, during, or after the bending operation. This allows for the next process to be respected.
Standard Industrial Corp. offers an extended warranty that extends an existing 5-year parts warrantee by 2 years. This offer includes:
Standard Industrial press brakes come in a range of sizes to suit your project.
This revolutionary tool changer gives press brake operators real-time information to help them perform better.
"The little guys can sometimes punch well above their weight class," it is often said. This is exactly what our 4-foot small press brake does. This compact bender has a CNC controlled X-axis rear gauge, tangs which accept euro and american style toolings, LED rear working lights, two sliding front sheets supports with linear rails, dual palm/foot stations with a selector toggle, and an LED rear lighting light. You'll want to test this powerful, fast, and precise small press brake. This bend punch is unlike any other.
There are two ways press brakes can bend metal. The first is called bottom bending because the ram will press the metal to the bottom of the die. Bottom bending results in highly accurate bends and relies less on the press brake machine itself. The downside is each tool is they're made to create one specific bend, so you’ll need to purchase a new one for every angle you want to make. Air bending leaves an air pocket between the ram and the bottom of the die. This allows the operator to accommodate for any spring back the material might provide. These types of dies only need to be changed if the material’s thickness is too much. Air bending’s drawback is the accuracy of the angle is affected by the material’s thickness, so the ram needs to be changed out accordingly.
A one-of-a-kind technology that makes efficient, quality results available to press brake operators of all skill levels.
Currently, Standard produces the widest variety of hydraulic press brakes available today. From our ADR 5 axis cnc hydraulic press brake series we offer 20 models and ranges from a small press brake that start at 4 foot in length to large press brakes up to 20 foot in bending length and 7 different tonnages ranging from 66 to 440 tons. Our premium more advanced ADS series is available with up to 14 CNC axis, comes in 32 different models with metal bending lengths of 6 foot 8 inches up to 26 foot 5 inches. Our ADS series machines are top end precision and powerful metal benders offered in 13 different tonnages with capacities of up to 3,300 tons! In addition to these two popular press brake series, we also offer the PBF series for the customer that needs a no frill press brake. On the other side of the coin is the sophisticated AD Servo brakes that have a hybrid hydraulic configuration and ball screws for energy efficiency and quiet operation. Lastly, Standard brings to market the FBS series which equates to the “flexible bending solutions” press brakes. Our FBS series brakes are typically high tonnage press brakes made to order to customer exact specifications with the option of running tandem or even trio press brakes, and material automation and handling options of every description.
Standard Industrial will provide onsite labor if there is a problem within the first five years. This warranty applies to 3 shifts per day, 24 hour days.
You should also consider other factors when calculating this margin. These include the thickness of your punch blade and the length of the fold.
Our Servo Hydraulic Press brakes are efficient and powerful metal benders. They consume up to 66% less power during standby and use 44% less energy during the bending process. Our servo brakes are powered by AC Servo electric motors that drive hydraulic oil "on-demand" through variable speed pumps. The servo press brake has a lower cost per unit because it uses our advanced technology. This allows us to synchronize the powerful forces of electric power, hydraulics and electronics only when they are needed. There is no quieter, more efficient, or more precise press brake available.
Hydraulic presses can be expensive and eat up a large portion of machine shop budgets of all sizes. However, choosing the lowest-cost press can lead to higher long-term costs. These are some things to keep in mind when selecting your next hydraulic press.
Rapid braking Can cause slipping or sliding if you brake too fast. Slowly brake by gently putting your foot on the pedal. You should leave enough space between you and the driver in front to ensure a generous stopping distance.
Answer: Bottom-bending can be accomplished with aluminum grades that are softer, such as H series. Here are some best practices to help you make sure your press brake operators understand bottoming. 1.
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.
F1 brakes can be difficult because all of the driving force must be generated by the driver. There cannot be power assistance. The pedal acts almost as an on/off switch, and there is rarely any need to use gentle braking.
