Pacific Press Technologies - K-Series Hydraulic Press BrakesThe Industry Standard in Hydraulic Press Brakes for Medium to Heavy-Gauge
Bending Applications

Pacific introduced hydraulic bending technologies more than fifty years ago…and the K-Series continues to represent the cornerstone to our fabricating equipment technology leadership. This proven design has been helping K-Series users to tackle the tough requirements over numerous applications and market-specific demands.

Choose from 175 to 3000 ton standard models, 8-30' standard bed lengths (see specification chart below). Tandem designs (two or more brakes operating in synchronization) deliver long part bending accuracy and productivity.

Standard Features

Consider these key machine features/user benefits…

  • Rugged Construction: The most rugged in the marketplace-our interlocked design helps to minimize frame deflection. Pre-crowned bed design helps to eliminate the need for die shimming, delivering the needed deflection compensation (helping to both reduce overall set up time and improve part quality. Precise ram guiding is ensured.
  • State-Of-The-Art Hydraulic System: Precision, high-speed performance and dependability all start with Pacific-built stacked valve system. Hydraulic power units include the features of automatic decompression, precision leveling accuracy, tonnage control/overload protection and redundant valving. Single piece cast cylinders eliminate high stresses, oil leakage.
  • Superior Controllability: Gain increased levels of production, versatility and safety. Unlike mechanical press brakes, full rated tonnage and generous open heights deliver power throughout a long stroke. Stroke and speed adjustments (on/off, inch, single-stroke/automatic return, and single-stroke/manual return mode selection switches) permit fast set-ups. A ram tilt adjustment feature facilitates fade-out work and compensates for die variations.

Optional Features

  • CNC Controls (off-line programming and storage; simple, menu-driven control of the ram axis and five backgauge axes; numerical, 2D or 3D color graphics; large disk memory; built in diagnostics and networking capabilities)
  • Plate cell - Adding an optional laser bend alignment system, plate supports and hydraulically powered plate positioning system makes the K series pressbrake a productive plate forming cell without the requirements for the operators to manipulate the plate by hand.
  • Higher Speed Power Units (three speed power unit standard on 500 tons and higher, available as an option on smaller tonnage K-Series brakes; choose from Rapid Advance (no tonnage), Fast Press (partial tonnage), and Normal Press (full tonnage) cycles)
  • Medium; Heavy-Duty Powered Backgauges (manual and CNC-controlled models-CNC version drives X1, R and Z1&Z2 Axes)
  • Other optional features include: Back Travel Over-Ride, Footswitch, Deeper Throats; Increased Open Heights and Longer Strokes; Wider Platens and Angle Brackets; Heavy Duty Ram Inserts; Horns; Multiple Depth-Stops; Oil Coolers and Heaters; Multiple Control Stations; Light Curtains; and Automated Centralized Lubrication Systems

Consult factory if your application requires machine dimensions, speeds or flush floor installation not shown in the table above.

Notes:
(1) Machine length (L) to be specified by customer
(2) Distance between housing without horns is machine length (L) minus the dimensions shown (Example: K400-14'bend length. The between housings dimension is L=14' minus 19½" =12' 4½")
(3) A slot in the floor is required to clear the bed plate on small machines over 12' length and all large machines
(4) Models 500 ton and larger require below grade support for side housings.
