Operating a press brake, a key fabrication machine used to bend sheet and plate metal requires strict adherence to safety procedures. Press brakes are powerful and essential tools in many industries, but they also pose significant hazards if not operated correctly. Proper training, awareness of the risks, and implementation of safety protocols are vital to […]

But what of those who want the power of a hydraulic brake with some of the cost savings of an electric brake? That’s where hybrid press brakes come in. Sometimes referred to as servo press brakes, hybrid hydraulic-electric brakes combine AC servo motors to control the direction of the ram while using the pressure provided by highly efficient hydraulic pumps to drive it (and the pumps only run during bending operations, unlike hydraulic brakes).
