You’re pretty sure you need a new press brake. You’ve budgeted for the purchase, but what’s your return on the investment? You have dozens of drive system types and styles to choose from. Which drive system is best? How much technology do you really need? To make a wise choice, you need a solid understanding of the different types of machines and t...
The mechanical press brake’s basic design comes from the early 1920s. A flywheel provides the power—as much as 150 percent of the rated tonnage. Because of its design, a mechanical brake isn’t a realistic option for air bending in any production operation. Instead, these machines are mainly used for operations in which the inside radius is stamped ...
This style was an early adaption of hydraulics to the press brake. In this design, motion from hydraulic oil pressure turns a hydraulic motor, which provides motion to the ram. This in turn provides full power at any point in the ram stroke. Unlike the mechanicals, which provide full power only at bottom dead center of the stroke, the hydromechanic...
The bell crank-style machine has a single hydraulic cylinder running parallel to the ram and bed. A change in angle of the linkage causes motion in the ram, a mechanism not unlike those used in older drum-style car brakes. These machines aren’t very accurate when it comes to bend angles. However, because of the way the mechanism operates, the machi...
This press brake’s drive system, in simple terms, has “hard” stops—solid but adjustable limits within the hydraulic cylinder. While this improves repeatability over the mechanical press brake, the machine itself operates in a similar fashion. When compared to the mechanical brake, this machine offers shorter setup times and requires less tryout mat...
These machines are driven by standard hydraulic systems, drawing from a shared oil reservoir or by closed individual systems working independently. The hydraulic pumps can be straightforward or “servo-over-hydraulic,” combining the accuracy of an electric press brake with the power of a hydraulic system. Fixed reference points and high repeatabilit...
Fast and efficient, these press brakes have electric motors that drive the ram. To produce motion, motors can be attached directly to the drive screw or by way of a timing belt. Electric motors will need to improve some before 300- to 500-ton machines make it to market. In the meantime, some press brake manufacturers have added a series of pulleys ...
Do you need CNCs with all the bells and whistles, or are you just aligning the punch to a scribe line? The choice really is yours. What are your production needs? If they include high-precision one-off parts or small-volume production runs, then a controller with a lot of options may be your best choice. Before you purchase a machine with more than...
Before you can choose a new press brake, you need to understand the tooling. Picking the right press brake is as much about your tooling style and forming method choices as anything else. I would argue the type, style, and application of tooling is the most important part of your decision—but you’ll have to wait until next month for that part of th...
Feb 18, 2016 · I think good brakes are real money makers and expensive for that reason. You need ram control, a good back gauge, tooling and real experience plus the ability to make special tools (machining in house) to compete. I would not want a shit old press brake that bends 1/2 by 10'.

Aug 21, 2023 · Recently installed the Essex AP Racing brake kits on my 21 M1 along with Wilwood MC4 e-brake components. For the front, I ordered the CP9668 kit and the CP9450 kit for the rear with nickel finish. Essex shipping was very fast and the kits have great documentation.
Oct 8, 2021 · RS3 brake ducts. After much research I decided on a true BBK kit vs. the more budget-friendly offerings like the R, Macan, or TTS and considered the HPA, ECS, Neuspeed, Dickass, Prodigy Werks, etc.
