Hydraulic 1050 Ton Pacific Press Brake

With the addition of a new hydraulic 1050 ton Pacific press brake CBM continues its initiative to create a workplace that is both conducive to its production needs and at the same time provides stability for our employees. By acquiring equipment and machines that reduce the amount of outsourced material CBM employees can feel safe in a troubled economy. Keeping our employees happy and safe keeps your parts accurate and on time.

This new press brake can handle larger and thicker material with a range of ¾” thick to 22’ long and will allow CBM to meet the shape and dimensions specified on larger drawings with precision and consistency. Bending sheet metal creates stress at the bend area. Reducing bend stress lowers the amount of deformation caused around the bend area and keeps the metal from losing strength. CBM’s new press brake uses a technic called Air Bending. Air bending uses a thin upper-hatchet die and a bottom die with a wide gap. The wider bottom gap allows a piece of sheet metal to bend without touching the bottom of the bottom die. This reduces deformation of the sheet metal at the bend area and eliminates the marring associated with bending sheet metal in a press brake.

Some of the newer bottom tools are adjustable, so, by using a single set of top and bottom tools and varying press-stroke depth, different profiles and products can be produced. Different materials and thicknesses can be bent in varying bend angles, adding the advantage of flexibility to air bending. There are also fewer tool changes, thus, higher productivity.

The flexibility and relatively low tonnage required by air bending are helping to make it a popular choice.
