Hydraulic/Mechanical Press Brakes

Over the past 35 years we have overwhelmed our customers and our competition by the uncompromising rigidity of our machinery This rigidity coupled with our simplicity and trouble free operation has made us one of the top selling press brake manufacturers in the world. In January of 2000 we initiated an unheard of 5 year parts and limited labor warranty that drastically separated us from our competition and we haven’t stopped there. Our newly developed press brake ram and hydraulic systems have separated Standard Industrial even more from the other brake manufacturers.

Too many manufacturers today base their machine’s productivity on computerized technology rather than the quality of the brake itself. We here at standard Industrial start with a solid well-designed 100% U.S. made machine and then add the merits of CNC capability to provide you with the best machine on the market today. We are one of the top suppliers of the U.S. made Automec backgauges. We also offer from a base machine up to 6 axis CNC control including X, Y, R, X1 & X2 and Z1 & Z2. Add to this tooling and accessories from such fine manufacturers like R-K Brake Dies and Wila and their is no doubt that you have the best brake the U.S. has to offer.

- Best built, heaviest brake on the market
- Least amount of deflection on any brake available
- All parts covered for 5 years and afterwards a lifetime supply of available parts from local vendors
- All press brakes available from base models up to 6 axis CNC control including X, Y, R, X1 & X2 and Z1 & Z2.

With full tonnage throughout the stroke and more importantly throughout the entire length of the bed and ram the Standard Industrial brake has a repeatability advantage over most dual cylinder brakes. Direct dual cylinder brakes require complicated hydraulic and electrical systems to balance their tonnage and they require a vast amount of labor and parts as the machines age. Typically the customer is forced to pay exorbitant prices for the parts and labor that they can only get from the manufacturer. We at Standard pride ourselves on the fact that customers can get parts for their brake from local suppliers and the simplicity of the equipment requires only the most basic trouble shooting.

100% Owned, Operated and Manufactured in The U.S.A.

The hydraulic/mechanical system used by Standard is certainly a superior concept as evident by the number of manufacturers currently offering similar products. However, we have more experience in years and thousands of products designed and manufactured than any in the business. Our design experience is reflected in our size and type of bearings and shafts as well as our technical capability to design a bellcrank system that does not have excessive side loads. All forces are vertical above the ram centerline and are contained in the "box" structure that houses the drive system and ram guides.

The ram of the press brake is guided by heavy duty slides as used in straight side presses. These slides are located both front and back of each end of the ram and are clearly superior to the small rear mounted guides found on other press brakes.

All press brakes require guides to contain end movement of the ram. Other manufacturers use tiny segmented guides incorporated in the main ram guides. The Standard design is to provide a heavy duty, self aligning system at the rear center of the ram and located inside the press frame. This system requires no operator action when the ram level is adjusted.

Press Brake Applications:

Our brakes were specifically designed for the following applications:

Full length bends where full tonnage across the bed is a necessity for the truest bends
Off-center loading when any amount of the brake’s tonnage is needed across the bed
Center loading where any amount of the brake’s tonnage is required
Multiple die set-ups across the bed that require varying amounts of tonnage
Punching applications in one area or at varied locations across the bed – each brake has a counter balance valve to allow the least shock to the hydraulic system
Short piece work, with some of the fastest ram speeds on any brake, your small piece work is done quickly, easily and with precision

Any size facility will benefit for the Standard Industrial brake from the price conscious small facility that does piece by piece work up to the 3 shifts a day high production manufacturers that require dependable, low maintenance machines with readily available components for minimal downtime.
