The 100 ton press brake in the workshop is a heavy tool used to mold metal very precisely. Our company, JUGAO, produces high quality press brakes that can bend even heavy gauge metal. Let’s find out what a 500-ton press brake is and why it matters in metalworking projects.
A 500-ton press brake presses hard down on metal sheets, bending them into various shapes, using a powerful hydraulic system. The machine comprises a stout frame, a top moving section and a bottom die. When metalworkers change the position of the top part and the die, they can form precise bends and angles on the metal sheets. This precision really matters in industries like construction, cars and airplanes, where precision is crucial.
Our JUGAO press brake has a 500-ton strength so it can handle heavy and thin metal for many projects. This makes it great for bending all sorts of different metal sheets, from aluminum to stainless steel. The machine can also perform various bending techniques, such as air bending, coining and bottoming. It is this flexibility that allows metalworkers to fashion detailed and intricate metal parts for all kinds of uses.
Safe use of a 500-ton press brake Obviously, there are some safety rules needed to follow to ensure safety in case that something happens. To stay safe from hazards, metalworkers should don proper safety gear – such as gloves, protective glasses and ear protection. It’s also critical that workers are properly trained to use the machine and work with metal sheets to avoid safety issues. Regular inspection and maintenance of the press brake ensure that it operates well and serves for a long time.
For efficient operation of a 500-ton press brake, metalworkers need to follow best practices for setting up and operating the machine. The latter includes measuring and precisely positioning metal sheets, choosing tools for bending, and employing computer technology for bending. With a 500-ton press brake, shops can produce more and stay ahead by increasing workflow and eliminating downtime.
