Press Brakes Automatically Adjust for Deflection on Tough Jobs

Piranha press brakes from Mega Manufacturing (Rockford IL) give shops durable, high quality machines for an expanded range of fabrication needs. These mid-market machines can handle tough jobs, accurately, time after time. “Our users asked us for a press brake offering with high-end specs at a reasonable price,” said Scott Donahy, the product manager of Piranha Press Brake. “This line answers that need.” Central to their value proposition is the EasyCrown™ Hydraulic Crowning System, a standard feature on WPH and WPB models. EasyCrown eliminates guesswork and rework by automatically compensating for deflection through hydraulic cylinders in the brake’s bed. The operator simply programs the part, the material type, thickness and tools into the industry-leading, easy-to-use Delem controls, and it automatically adjusts for accuracy.

“EasyCrown is a perfect example our quest for top-notch quality and efficiency,” added Donahy. “This feature greatly improves part accuracy, and it’s so easy to use.” Piranha press brakes are available in four models, ranging from 30 tons to 3,000 tons, including options for large tonnage tandem brakes and electric servo-driven machines.
