Manage and optimize your workflow to save time, money, and human effort. Avoid and actively prevent costly downtime and product defects. Fine-tune your shop to meet the needs of the day with unmatched programmability, functionality, and real-time, cloud-based machine insights. Whatever the challenge, there’s an automation solution that can help.

The Press Brakes have a two-position pedestal control and a three-position footswitch. This feature allows operators the ability to use palm button during fast pressing speeds and the footswitch while slowing down.

Two palm button pedestal controls with a 3-position footswitch are part of the Press Brakes. This feature allows operators to use the footswitch when they are slow and palm buttons during fast approaches.

Standard Industrial offers a variety CNC gauging systems. These range from the most basic single line display to the most advanced 2D and 3D modeling, and everything in between. Press brakes come with no backgauge, CNC control or other standard features. A complete listing of systems can be found in our CNC Controls and Gauging catalog.

New Press Brake

The CNC technology system-the Computerized Numeric Control, is used to create our single and dual cylinder Hydraulic Press Brakes. Our advanced dual bending machines work solely electrically because they are run on Servo Electric systems. They don't need hydraulic oiling and require minimal energy.

Delem controllers have a feature that allows the machine to be run in safety mode.

Single Cylinder Press Brake Task

The torque tube brake is another variant of the dual-cylinder machine. It has two cylinders that generate half the machine's total tonnage. Torque tube brakes don't generate full tonnage throughout the brake bed; they only produce full tonnage at the brake center. Torque tube brakes pull tonnage from each of the cylinders, which can lead to distortion due to off-center loading and full length bends. Standard Industrial single-cylinder brakes do not require balancing between cylinders. There are no complex hydraulic systems that compensate for each cylinder's weaknesses. A single cylinder can provide full tonnage on the brake, so you can achieve a repeat accuracy of +/ *.001' regardless of where you work.

The game-changing tool changer gives press brake operators real-time data that can help them perform better.

Mechanical press brakes operate via a motor inside the device. This motor spins a large flywheel at high speeds. The machine operator controls the flywheel through a clutch, which then sets the rest of the parts into motion to bend the metal. The mechanical press brake is much more straightforward, especially regarding its electronics, making maintenance and operation easy. They can also handle tonnages two to three times higher than their inherent rating, due to the nature of the mechanisms. The primary disadvantage of using mechanical press brakes is that the ram inside the machine must complete a full cycle when engaged and cannot be reversed. This creates some safety concerns if the operator makes a mistake and sets some limitations on the machine. One possible hazard is the potential for the press brake to become locked if the ram travels too far.

The PA Plus series brings together functionality and versatility into one powerful package. The PA Plus series allows for the use of a wide range accessories, allowing for a completely customizable solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hydraulic disc brakes have superior performance and efficiency due to the lack of a mechanical cable. The fluid system works better than a steel cable, which can be more susceptible to wear and more vulnerable to the elements.

The CNC Press Brake is fast to set up and has a repeatability of +/–0.0004 inches. This will allow you to reduce the time it takes to make parts.

What happens if you don't hold down the clutch pedal or keep your vehicle in neutral while driving? Explanation: If you hold the clutch pedal down or stay in neutral for too much time, your vehicle will freewheel. Coasting is a dangerous technique that reduces your vehicle's control.

How does a hydraulic press brake work? Hydraulic press brakes use the power of a hydraulic motor, applying force to the metal and compressing it into a die that forms the shape. The shape of the die determines the final shape achieved by the metal bending process.
