PRESS BRAKE UNIQUE FEATURES Self-Lubricating Bearings: Piranha's pivot points are lined with maintenance-free bearings. These state-of-the art, aerospace bearings provide high load capacity and low friction in the form of a thin-walled sleeve. They are completley non-metallic, require no lubrication, and provide years of maintenance-free service. Inboard Ram Drive: Piranha's ram drive links are mounted between the "C" frames. This mounting increases the ram strenght and minimizes ram deflection. Competitors' press brakes have a wider ram set which results in excessive ram deflection. Minimal Deflection: Piranha's heavy design and rigitd construction provide superior bed, ram, and machine deflection characteristics. This, along with the inboard drive system, allows less beam deflection for more accurate operations. Heavy construction allows ram and bed surfaces to be machined flat to better accommodate multiple tool set ups. Competing designs attempt to compensate for excessive deflection with machined crowning, a less than satisfactory solution. Full Length Gibs: Extra-long, hardened and ground ways are mounted on the massive Piranha "C" frame to provide maximum support and guidance for parallel ram movement. Adjustable gibs ensure the ram is controlled front, back, and sides.
