SVAN hydraulic bending machines (hydraulic press brakes) deliver the force, rigidity, and control needed for heavy plate, high-strength steel, and long-bed forming. Continuous, adjustable hydraulic pressure throughout the stroke handles varied material thicknesses and hardness levels safely, with automatic bypass protection against overload.
How It Works
Massive hydraulic cylinders provide sustained force across the entire bed. Proportional valves control ram speed and pressure at any point in the descent, so operators can ease materials into shape without shock or fracture. CNC controls calculate ram depth and backgauge position, while hydraulic crowning compensates bed deflection under heavy concentrated loads.

Key Features
- High tonnage capacity for thick plate and high-strength alloys (stainless, Hardox-class)
- Deep-throat and long-bed options for oversized flanged parts
- CNC crowning for parallel penetration across long beds
- Automatic decompression control prevents hydraulic shock on high-tensile materials
- Option: real-time angle measurement for springback compensation on stainless and titanium
Common Applications
- Structural steel, heavy plate fabrication, and shipbuilding components
- High-strength steel parts for construction and heavy equipment
- Long, deep, or multi-bend parts where consistent angles across the bed matter
- Galvanized and coated materials (with protective tooling options)
