BRAKE CHILLERS

Traditionally, flattening and shaping metal has been done with hammers. Large hammers began to emerge and adapt based upon the amount, and size of metal needing to be shaped. Smiths would work metal in a forge and create pieces that were needed. These include horse shoes, tools and even armor. Smiths would hire apprentices to wield sledge hammers, while the smiths positioned the metal for working. By advancing technology through the use of windmill and steam power, steam hammers became more common and further the way for drop hammers. Drop hammers use an electric motor to draw hammer back and allows gravity to do the rest of the work. From these different adaptations, press brakes were invented and have changed from manual to computer operated... Whaley Products Inc. is a manufacturer of industrial press brake chillers that help the brake industries achieve consistent fluid temperatures.
