Is press brake better than hydraulic press?

Before investing in a new piece of shop machinery, you should weigh your options. You might be geared towards hydraulic press brakes that your operators know how to run well. But you should take a look at the benefits that a servo-electronic press brake could bring to your business. Electronic press brakes can have a significant positive impact on your production; read more to find out where you fit in.

Hydraulic Press Brakes

Dependable and hardworking, hydraulic press brakes are great for a shop that wants to continue using a high quality hydraulic press brake that they know how to operate easily. Hydraulic press brakes are a good choice if your work requires simple bends that don&#;t require hyper-accuracy. With lower initial costs, hydraulic press brakes are well suited to you if your shop needs a reliable, heavy-duty press on a tighter budget.

Electric Press Brakes

Electric press brakes outperform hydraulic press brakes when it comes to bending accuracy. This type of machine is ideal if you manufacture complex or multiple-piece parts with little or no room for variance. If your shop works with expensive materials than an electronic press brake is a smart investment; the reduction in scrap will result in a faster pay back on the upfront cost of the machine. Electronic press brakes are the option for shops that need to boost production cycle times, increase accuracy on bends, and also save money on energy bills.

Tips for Determining What Type of Press Brake to Purchase

• Take a look at your work orders. Is your current press brake keeping up with your workload?
• Do you have employees that are excited and willing to learn new software?
• Think about your future business goals. Want type of contracts are you aiming for? And which press brake will suit those goals?

Put together your wants, needs, and goals together and talk to your fabrication machinery dealer to find the right press brake machine for your shop.

When a company&#;s operations are trying to replace old press brakes of their fabrication business, there is always confusion about what press brake to buy. The reason for this confusion is not far-fetched; it is because of the varying technological advancements in press brakes that exist in our market today.

 Currently, there are electric, hybrid, and traditional hydraulic press brakes. Each of these type of brakes has their pros and cons which, if looked at critically, can help you get the press brake that suits your needs perfectly. In this piece, we will focus more on the standard electric brake vs hydraulic press brake.

ELECTRIC VS HYDRAULIC PRESS BRAKES

1. POWER CONSUMPTION AND EFFICIENCY:

Experts say that electric press brakes use about two times the electrical energy as hydraulic brakes do to deliver the same tonnage. However, the hydraulic motors, pumps, and oil used by hydraulic press brake for its operation keep the machine constantly running even when it is idle. Therefore, electric brakes are more efficient and are considered to consume less power because the motor is used only during bending and turns off while the machine is on idle.

2. COST:

Maintenance of hydraulic brakes such as changing of oil and filter, fixing of seal and line leaks, etc. make it expensive to use hydraulic press brakes. As well as this, due the variable viscosity of the oil used by the hydraulic press, the angle you get at the beginning of the day may differ from what you get at the close of day. This can result in more scrap being developed by the machine, as more trials are necessary for the same bend. Also, the continuous energy consumed by the gear pump during the machine&#;s idle time will add to the cost of using hydraulic press brakes. In order to be more efficient, some people install energy-saving enhancements, such as timers and variable displacement pumps. These halt the main motor during the idle time to reduce costs, and are an addition that should to be put into consideration when buying a hydraulic brake.

3. SPEED:

Hydraulic press machines have a faster approach speed compared to electric press but have slower ram acceleration and deceleration into positioning because of the oil-powered motor. Hence, the Electric press has a quicker output as it has a higher bending speed.

4. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION:

We already stated the fact that hydraulic pumps work continuously even when the machine is turned off. If you&#;re looking for fuel efficiency and cleaner energy, hydraulic pumps would not be the best option here. As well as this, for noise pollution, the hydraulic press will make noise all day as long as it is turned on. Electric presses are silent when they are not in use, and the only sound you hear when they are in use is that of the spinning ball screw. For immediate environmental concerns, hydraulic presses (while not often) can also cause oil spillages in the fabricator shop &#; which can have detrimental effects to the local community. These features, coupled with the less power consumed by Electric press brakes, make them considered to be more eco-friendly than the traditional hydraulic press brakes.

5. ACCURACY:

Electric press brakes have higher precision than hydraulic press brakes. Expert says that electric press brakes can offer up to an accuracy of 0. inches or 1 micron, while hydraulic press brake can reach an accuracy of 0. inches (10.16 microns). For the most accuracy in the game, check out Mitsubishi&#;s BB Series Diamond Electric Press Brakes.
