Structural rigidity is engineered into Accurpress press brakes through the basic frame structure; side frames, bed assembly, ram, double rocker arm assembly and a torque tube. All sections are sized according to the tonnage of the press brake and are held together with high quality welds or bolts for the ultimate in rigidity, durability and reliability.

The heavy I-beam bed design on the larger tonnage models greatly reduces bed deflection for optimum forming quality, and eliminates the need for a below-floor-bed on models up to 600 tons.

Long life, low maintenance, and no lubrication service is provided by precision ram gibbing and world quality bearings. The ram is guided by heavy duty slideways on chromed guide bars using lifetime, non-metallic pre-lubricated bearing inserts. The slideways are easily field adjustable for precise slideway bearing preload.

The main pivot points of our Rocker Arm System utilize high quality maintenance free self-lubricating plain bearings, and self-aligning spherical bearings. Both types of bearings are well suited to the high loads and oscillating motion of the press brake linkage. Moreover, the self-lubricating feature, a unique application of polytetrafluoro-ethylene, reduces maintenance chores and lessens the chance of premature bearing failure.
