EMS HP20 Hydraulic Horizontal Press Brake Machine

Horizontal Press
Horizontal Press Brake is used to bend sheet metal with hydraulic power

A hydraulic horizontal press brake is a machine that uses hydraulic pressure to bend metal sheets and plates into desired shapes. Unlike traditional press brakes, which bend plates vertically, horizontal press brakes bend plates horizontally, allowing for more complex bends and shapes.

The versatility of the Horizontal Press Brake allows us to bend, fold, bend, cut, form, enlarge and reduce flaring, swagging, assembling… all kinds of metal materials such as iron, steel, stainless, copper, brass, aluminium..

Pipe bending at fixed radius up to 150º could be considered one of the good features of these presses

Cutting, piercing and punching flat bars or metal sheets turn this horizontal bending press into a punching shears machine

Stretching and reducing pipes on the ends in order to make parts that fit or weld later.

It is also a solution to bend different profiles at different radius and keeping the ends straight, like when manufacturing handles and flanges.

Cold forge uses horizontal presses to make and form different shapes of balusters. Tube notching to assemble at 90 degrees.

Folding operations with wrought iron machines permit to completely bend the parts or pieces unlike conventional flat bar section bending machines

Its robustness, versatility, easy handling and 4.0 Technology are just four of the best features our hydraulic horizontal bending machine has. Folding operation with no risk of damaging the punches and dies with thick materials unlike conventional press brakes. Folding flat bars and sheets into completely close shapes. Conception of this horizontal bending press brake allows to make folding operations impossible to be carried out on a conventional press brake.

Performance by a safety double activation hold pedal. Low noise level, improving the quality of work of the operator. The machine is shipped completely assembled and ready to work. Palletized lower bench to easily transport the machine up to its working or storage site. Dies support shelf included. Lateral stop to place it right or left.

Hydraulic System
Monoblock hydraulic power unit with positioning and pressure regulation valves The hydraulic system can be regulated by means of pressure adjustment valves that affect the piston force. Pressure regulator with pressure gauge that allows to control the force carried out at any time.

Guided hydraulic cylinder: The hydraulic cylinder placed on the work bench allows us to transfer all the force directly on the tools. Fully guided hydraulic piston to prevent any bending during the folding operation.

  4. Accuracy requirements: The accuracy required for your bends will also affect your choice of machine. Press brakes and roll benders can typically achieve higher levels of accuracy than bending brakes.
  5. Budget: The cost of sheet metal bending tools can vary significantly. It is important to consider your budget when making your decision.

Safety Precautions When Using Sheet Metal Bending Tools

When using sheet metal bending tools, it is important to follow safety precautions to prevent injuries:

  1. Wear personal protective equipment (PPE): This includes safety glasses, gloves, and a sturdy pair of shoes.
  2. Securely clamp the workpiece: The workpiece should be securely clamped in place before bending to prevent it from moving or slipping.
  3. Keep hands away from the bending area: Never place your hands near the bending area while the machine is in operation.
  4. Use the proper tools: Use the appropriate tools for the type of bend and material you are working with.
  5. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions: Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the specific machine you are using.

Industrial Machinery for Bending

Horizontal Press Brake
Horizontal press brake machine for bending metal

Industrial machinery for bending is used to shape and form metal sheets, plates, and tubes into various shapes and contours. These machines are essential tools in various industries, including metalworking, manufacturing, construction, and automotive production.

Types of Industrial Bending Machinery

Several types of industrial bending machinery are available, each with its own capabilities and applications. Some of the most common types include:

  1. Press Brakes: Press brakes are versatile machines that use a hydraulic or pneumatic press to apply force to a workpiece, causing it to bend along a predefined line. They can produce a wide range of bends, including angles, channels, and boxes.
  2. Roll Benders: Roll benders use a series of rollers to gradually bend metal into a curved shape. They are particularly well-suited for producing long, continuous bends and are often used for forming pipes and tubes.
  3. Horizontal Press Brakes: Horizontal press brakes are similar to press brakes but operate horizontally, allowing for the creation of complex bends and shapes that are difficult to achieve with vertical press brakes.
  4. Three-Roll Benders: Three-roll benders use three rollers to bend metal into a cylindrical or conical shape. They are commonly used for forming pipes, tanks, and other curved components.
  5. Rotary Benders: Rotary benders use a rotating mandrel to bend metal around a fixed axis. They are suitable for bending long, thin-walled tubes and pipes.

Applications of Industrial Bending Machinery

Industrial bending machinery is used in a wide variety of applications across various industries. Some common applications include:

  1. Sheet Metal Forming: Bending machines are used to form sheet metal into various shapes for components in appliances, automotive parts, architectural elements, and electrical enclosures.
  2. Pipe and Tube Bending: Bending machines are used to bend pipes and tubes for piping systems, structural supports, and fluid conveyance systems.
  3. Profile Bending: Bending machines can handle complex profiles, such as C-channels, I-beams, and angle irons, for structural components and industrial applications.
  4. Specialty Bending: Specialized bending machines can produce intricate bends, curves, and shapes for specialized applications, such as aerospace components, medical implants, and decorative elements.

Selection and Operation of Industrial Bending Machinery

Choosing the appropriate industrial bending machine depends on several factors, including:

  1. Workpiece Material: The machine should be compatible with the material being bent, such as steel, aluminum, or stainless steel.
  2. Workpiece Thickness: The machine should have sufficient capacity to handle the thickness of the workpiece being bent.
  3. Bending Requirements: The machine should be able to produce the desired bend angles, shapes, and precision.
  4. Production Volume: For high-volume production, an automated machine may be more efficient. For smaller-scale production or prototyping, a manual machine may suffice.
  5. Safety Features: Ensure the machine incorporates safety features such as light guards, emergency stops, and interlocking mechanisms.

When operating industrial bending machinery, proper safety precautions should be followed to prevent accidents and injuries:

  1. Wear PPE: Always wear appropriate PPE, including safety glasses, gloves, and proper footwear, when operating bending machinery.
  2. Secure Workpiece Positioning: Ensure the workpiece is securely clamped in place on the machine bed to prevent movement during bending.
  3. Proper Tooling Selection: Use the appropriate bending tools for the desired bend shape, workpiece material, and thickness.
  4. Clearance from Bending Tools: Maintain adequate clearance from the bending tools to avoid hand injuries or damage to the tooling.
  5. Emergency Stop Awareness: Familiarize yourself with the emergency stop location and be prepared to activate it in case of any unsafe conditions.
  6. Follow Manufacturer Instructions: Strictly follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety guidelines for the specific bending machine in use.

Industrial bending machinery plays a crucial role in shaping and forming metal components across various industries. By selecting the right machine, adhering to safety protocols, and following proper operating procedures, these machines contribute to efficient, safe, and productive manufacturing processes.
