But what of those who want the power of a hydraulic brake with some of the cost savings of an electric brake? That’s where hybrid press brakes come in. Sometimes referred to as servo press brakes, hybrid hydraulic-electric brakes combine AC servo motors to control the direction of the ram while using the pressure provided by highly efficient hydraulic pumps to drive it (and the pumps only run during bending operations, unlike hydraulic brakes).

Nestled near the base of the Rocky Mountains in Northern Utah sits Revolution Machine Tools, a national provider of many hundreds of different models of metalworking machines across the entire spectrum of fabrication. If your shop must cut metal, bevel metal, press metal, or punch metal, RMT will find the perfect machine to fulfill your needs.

Many metalworking machines are necessary in the production of modern metal structures and products, but the one that plays a crucial role in precision sheet metal fabrication is the press brake. These metal-bending marvels provide fabricators the ability to form metal sheets and plates into desired shapes, and to do so with extremely high accuracy.
