PRESS BRAKES

Piranha
Press Brakes are available in a variety of
widths and range from 25 to 400 tons. They may be
ordered in the standard white or Piranha green color.
Piranha's
proven design provides four distinct advantages over
other press brake designs.
 Piranha's
mechanical linkage system provides full tonnage at
any point across the ram and bed, allowing maximum
flexibility for multi-operation set-ups. Operators may
place full-tonnage tools anywhere on the bed. Other press
brake designs require the operator to place any full-tonnage
tool only in the center of the bed, resulting in added
handling and lower productivity. Attempting multi-operation
set-ups on other designs can result in machine damage.
Other designs require more total machine tonnage for
off-center applications.
 Piranha's
Generation II Control System, combined with the
single cylinder hydraulic system, provides full
control reliability in a simple, efficient design.
In the event of a violation of a safety device,
the dual CPU module provides two paths for signals
to stop ram movement. This, with the single hydraulic
valve system, provides the utmost in simplicity,
maintainability, and safety.
 Piranha's
exclusive Preloaded Ram System (PRS) uses
a dynamic system of opposing ram cylinders to preload
the ram prior to movement. This system lifts the
ram into the drive system, eliminating the influence
of ram weight on the bending process. Furthermore,
this system removes the effects of clearances and
wear within the drive system throughout the life
of the press brake.
 Piranha
utilizes a bed tilt system as opposed to ram tilt to
allow for fade-out bends and to adjust for tool wear.
This system allows the ram to be fully gibbed and
stabilized for parallel movement. Ram tilt sytems
on other designs allow for more play in the gibs
and put unneeded stress on the drive system. Unlike
ram tilt systems on other press brake designs, Piranha's
bed tilt system easily returns to the "zero" position.
