Modern Problems Demand Modern Solutions with Quality Press Brakes
At Yarder Manufacturing, we believe that the quality of our press brakes – coupled with the vast array of tooling options that we bring with us – make us so much more than just another steel metal fabrication shop. Our key competitive advantage isn’t what we do – it’s how we do it. We can form your metal part without the cost of expensive tooling charges that you’ll likely have to deal with through other providers.
At its core, a press brake is a piece of equipment that is used to bend sheet metal. The sheet you’re working with is clamped between a movable punch and a stationary die, which themselves are designed to achieve precise lengths and shapes. They may seem like straightforward pieces of equipment, but they’re actually so much more than they appear.
Working with sheet metal in any way is inherently difficult, and bending it demands a significant amount of force. Depending on the specific kind you’re talking about (be it hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, or mechanical), a press brake can offer varying amounts of force for you to work with. That force is measured in tonnage. Using a machine with a higher tonnage means you have what it takes to work with thicker metals.
It’s equally important to think about the role of the metal itself in all this. Yes, press brakes are designed to be very precise – but you also can’t count out the fact that different metals have their own unique physical characteristics. An approach that works perfectly for one may be woefully inadequate for the next. If you’re working with a high carbon steel, for example, there is less pliability and more force will be required to make bends. Aluminum alloys are much more flexible. Most metals have a recommended minimum bend radius, too. This refers to the total amount they can be bent without needing to worry about damage.
So even though press brakes themselves aren’t necessarily the most complicated pieces of machinery you’ll ever encounter, that doesn’t make them any less important. It also helps underline why it is so crucial for you to find the right partner for your next project. We’ll help you understand all the advantages and potential disadvantages of the options in front of you, allowing you to rest easy knowing that you’re picking the right one for the right task at exactly the right time.
Our machines at Yarder Manufacturing feature multi-bend capabilities with a quick setup process and an impressive 6-axis back-gauge. This means that we can adapt to the daily demands of our customers, regardless of how strict they may be or how often they may change, without sacrificing the things that matter most like fast delivery or timely setups. All this and we have a 187 ton maximum capacity – meaning that there is no heavy sheet metal plate that is too difficult for us to work with.
