Piranha
Press Brakes are available in a
variety of widths and range from 25 to
500 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.
