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.
