Hello,
I have been building low tonnage (15-20) press brakes using 6 inch bore pneumatic cylinders. I have been using Bimba cylinders and have been very happy with the quality and performance but they cost just under $1000 Canadian dollars each, I use 2 per press so the cost is high. My sales have been growing so now I’m looking to optimize my design a bit further and lower the costs of these cylinders as they make up a very large portion of the manufacturing costs.
I have searched for a more cost effective alternative, but no luck so far…. I’m posting on the forum seeking anyone that might be able to suggest a more cost effective alternative?
The cylinder needs to be 6 inch bore, 10 inch stroke and ideally have an oversized cylinder rod.
Any thoughts????
Thanks for your time!
