PIRANHA PRESS BRAKES, SHEARS, & IRONWORKERS
Piranha
has been manufacturing and distributing machines for the
metal fabrication industry since 1972.
Based
in Hutchinson, Kansas and long recognized as the Number One brand
of ironworkers, Piranha has rapidly become a major producer and
distributor of press brakes and shears. The same philosophy
of efficient design, superb engineering, quality production, and
outstanding customer service is carried across all Piranha brand
products. Like our ironworkers, all machines in our complete
line of metal fabrication equipment are simple in design,
heavy in construction, and outfitted with efficient and safe operator
features. We believe in continuous improvement and are dedicated
to providing our customers with products that increase
their productivity and profitability.
Piranha Press Brakes are available
in a variety of widths and range from 25 to 500 tons. 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.

QUICK DIE CHANGE EQUIPMENT
RW
Engineering, Ltd. has designed a series of hydraulic shock dampers
that benefit any blanking, punching or die trimming application of metal,
plastic or composite that is experiencing load reversal shock or tooling
damage from off center loading at part break-through.
Properly sized, dampers will absorb the entire reverse load, visibly
reducing breakthrough shock and smoothing out the press operating cycle.
In addition to a standard line of short stroke upacting Model "U" shock
dampers of 35, 50, 100, 150 and 200 ton blanking capacity per cylinder,
RW Engineering can deliver custom engineered systems to 2,000 ton press capacity.

MIDWEST PRESSBRAKE DIES
Acutuf General
Purpose Tools are the most basic types used in press brake bending
and press brake
forming. Produced to general industry dimensions, designed for diversity
of performance,
they are manufactured in quantities for maximum economy of purchase.
These types of
tools can perform from acute to obtuse angles of bend, produce single
or
multi-bend shapes,
many with nominal air bend capacities per foot.
All Midwest Press Brake Dies,
unless otherwise indicated, will be made from
chrome-carbon
brake die steel of a mean 280 Brinell hardness throughout. Of high
compresive strength,
this steel has excelent wear characteristics, and tends to work
harden as it
is used. It can be modified or re-machined when necessary without needing
to
be annealed.
