Setting up a 25 ton press brake

[@haroldhaugaard410]

You have to bring that ram down slower till the top die touches the metal you're going to bend, then you can remove your hands and step on the pedal and complete the bend without hurting yourself, good luck and be careful. Also, you should use the stop gage on the back side of the break for accurate bending. I was a sheet metal worker for 45 years and did it all, bin retired for 18 years and enjoy your videos. I look forward to them all the time.

[@aserta]

Prolly the smartest solution would be to get someone who knows automation to install a trip switch that's tied to the bottom die's height adjustment so that when the top die is at the thickness of the material (aka just holding the material in place) it stops automatically. That's how my Cn made one's set up. I feed the material to the laser line, it drops and stops the moment it touches the trip and only after i release and press again, does it execute, thus giving me time away from the teeth knocker 1000. If i pull up on the foot treadle, it releases and lets me try again. It's not super complicated to setup either, there's only 3 switches in the system and a mechanical doodad that takes account of where my bottom die is. The rest is all pixies in the machine.

[@777poco]

was just going to warn Andrew about mechanical presses but your post was good

[@JeffreyWindley-n4i]

These older press brakes are nice, but I like a corded foot petal and slow it down before you bust a die .

[@degrom542]

Shouldn't there be square stock welded to the front of the bender to act as a table for the metal to be bent ?

Error 6 is Overcurrent protection. I would recommend to change pulleys to slow the press down for more press force and slower speed.

Agreed. Always bend the opposite of how he's doing it.

[@spunrunanddone4370]

I agree it is cycling way too fast...probly loosing some power needed to bend heavier materials due to the cycle speed...but I am no expert, probly wrong

[@richardharty898]

Yes, the stroke is way too fast, even for panel steel, slow it down. These older mechanical units are way less controllable than the later Hydraulic ones but will teach you way more about safety……may cost a couple of fingers in the meantime so please do what you can to learn from the mistakes/experience of others.

I have a LITTLE too much time on a press brake. I've used a 16-foot one and several others down to 6-feet. Having the right dies is crucial as well as a machine shop to 'alter' the dies you have or make new ones. I liked the 8-foot hydraulic press the most for one-off and small production runs. I'd make dies for fairly complex pressings out of phenolic blocks machined to the right shape and then use rubber to press them down into the form instead of fiddling with a top die. The 16-footer was a flywheel brake and it went FAST. It was a several-person job to change the dies and it liked to punish you for the smallest offenses. Took about 30 seconds to spin up and it would bend ANYTHING YOU WANTED once you got it set up. The flywheel brakes are best for production runs, but I absolutely hated and feared ours. It was a monster, sunk two feet into the ground on its own pad and still shook the whole 300-foot square building when it hit. "Ca-CHUNK, ca-CHUNK, ca-CHUNK!" My advice is to stick with what you have. I never bent anything over 10 feet on that big brake.

[@TrevorDennis100]

Andrew when you take a second go with the press break, hold the workpiece so it is resting as close as you can get it to the bottom of the die. It will make the bend more where you want it to be, and be much safer. You should be able to nudge the break to barely touch the workpiece so you can align it more accurately. The best way to get an accurate bend is to use the backstop and measure, (but try not to bend your steel rule 😉). That's a nice bit of kit, and something I'd love to have in my shop, so I hope you get some use out of it.

With Tread Plate you need to include the height of the grip facets with the basic plate…….eg. 1/8 plate plus 1/16 facets = 3/16 thickness x 6 = 1&1/8 minimum in top of “V” Block. In metric it is 3 mm plate, becomes 5 mm x 6 = 30mm, for most everyone outside America.😅

Hi Andrew. Congratulations on your brake. A couple of things. When you change dies ALWAYS set the machine to the bottom of the stroke. Turn off. Slide your old dies out. Install your bottom die. Use the stroke adjustment to get your top die clearance close. Install your top. Lightly snug the bolts. Turn on press and bump the top into position. I’ve seen things get wrecked the way you did it. Also a couple of arms on the front of the machine or a table the same height as your bottom die will help support the steel. I have a bend chart that will help with precise layouts and help you achieve the overall sizes that you’re looking for when you’re bending.

You gotta get some dies for that baby. Generally up to half inch, you need 8 times the thickness of metal to be bent for bottom die opening width. 1/8th inch material 1" bottom die opening. Over .500 its 10 times material thickness. You can saw cut longer dies down to make smaller top dies for pan or box bends. If thats 25 tons you should be able to bend 12 inchs of 3/8" no problem. Careful using those small bottom dies with thick material, you can split bottom dies doin that.

I can't think of anyone other than Andrew Camarata who'd spray paint a surface & then use a leaf blower to clear out a dusty, gritty lock-up, within seconds of each other.....but that's how he gets so much done, by not sticking to any rules & not being to precious about things. It's wrong on one level but efficient & correct on another!
