Hydraulic Press Brakes

Standard hydraulic designs have been the primary type of drive system for press brakes for decades. While there have been more advanced hybrid and electric systems developed over the years, hydraulic press brakes still account for most machines manufactured today due to their reliability, versatility and flexibility. From small, light tonnage models right through to large machines with very high pressing force.

BenefitsTypical Applications
  • All-round versatility. Machines are available in a wide range of lengths and tonnages.
  • Hydraulic systems can achieve a much higher pressing force compared with hybrid and electric machines.
  • A greater range of material thicknesses can be processed, from light gauge material to heavy plate metal.
  • Manufacturers offer greater flexibility and customisation including larger tool openings and throat depths.
  • Long-term durability, reliability and ease of servicing.
  • Incredibly versatile and suitable for almost any bending application.
  • Suitable for low tonnage applications right through to high tonnage applications in excess of 4,000 tons.
  • Suitable for a wider range of bending lengths up to around 14 metres.

Hybrid Press Brakes

Hybrid press brakes combine both hydraulic and electric elements, achieving a more energy efficient drive system with improved performance.

Hybrid press brakes use a bi-directional servo electric drive system to pump oil to the hydraulic cylinders. Compared with a traditional hydraulic system where the pump is running continuously, even when the machine is idle, a hybrid system is only working when motion is required. This means that hybrid systems consume very little energy when idle and are more energy efficient when working.

Hybrid systems use a smaller hydraulic oil tank, leading to a more efficient design and lower maintenance costs when an oil change is required.

When it comes to noise output, hybrid systems are quieter than hydraulic machines due to the lower sound levels of the servo electric drives compared with traditional hydraulic pump motors and that they are only running while the machine is being operated.

BenefitsTypical applications
  • Lower energy consumption since the pump is only running when the machine is moving and when bending force is required.
  • Improved control and bending accuracy.
  • Faster acceleration and deceleration which results in shorter cycle times.
  • Lower noise levels.
  • Use less oil than hydraulic machines.
  • Economical to maintain.
  • Suitable for a wide range of bending applications that require pressing force up to around 500 tons.
  • Suit a range of bending lengths up to around 7 metres.
  • Ideal for high-volume production where speed, accuracy and efficiency are required.

Electric Press Brakes

Electric press brakes eliminate the need for hydraulic pumps, valves and complex piping, for an extremely quiet, fast and efficient bending solution. Electric machines can feature a variety of drive methods including belt or gear direct drive systems and belt / pulley systems for even distribution of pressing force on longer machines.

Smaller models are ergonomically designed with integrated foot pedals and folding support tables that allow workers to comfortably operate the machine from a seated position as well as offering a range of additional features that help to reduce operator fatigue.

BenefitsTypical applications
  • Extremely quiet.
  • Low energy consumption.
  • Ergonomically designed for optimal comfort and reduced operator fatigue.
  • Smaller models can be portable, offering greater flexibility for machine placement in the workshop.
  • Consistent operation and accuracy over time since there is no degradation of hydraulic components.
  • Require minimal maintenance compared with hydraulic and hybrid machines since there are no hydraulic components to service or oil changes required.
  • Electric machines are ideal for repetitive bending of small parts where fast cycle speed and accuracy is required.
  • Suitable for low tonnage bending applications of up to around 200 tons.
  • Suitable for bending lengths up to around 4 metres.
