<p>A "Mercury press brake" typically refers to the <mark><!--qkimaf fIykD_g/HugV6--><!--cqw1tb fIykD_g/HugV6-->durable, mechanical bending machines manufactured by <strong>Mercury Machinery<!--TgQPHd|[]--></strong><!--TgQPHd|[]--></mark> (often associated with Mercury Inc. or Mercury 6500 series). These are heavy-duty, legacy mechanical press brakes prized in industrial workshops for repetitive, reliable sheet metal forming. Common Mercury Press Brake Models<!--TgQPHd|[]-->Mercury's older mechanical press brake models (such as the 6504, 6506, and 6512) are widely recognized for their sturdy construction and mechanical reliability. Standard specifications for these traditional workhorses generally feature: </p><ul><li><strong>Bending Length:<!--TgQPHd|[]--></strong> 8 feet<!--TgQPHd|[]--><!--TgQPHd|[]--></li><li>Bending Capacity: 3/16" thick x 8' long</li><li><strong>Tonnage Capacity:<!--TgQPHd|[]--></strong> 100 tons near the bottom of the stroke.<!--TgQPHd|[]--><!--TgQPHd|[]--></li><li><strong>Stroke & Adjustment:<!--TgQPHd|[]--></strong> stroke length 4" with a 5" ram adjustment.<!--TgQPHd|[]--><!--TgQPHd|[]--></li><li><strong>Die Space:<!--TgQPHd|[]--></strong> Maximum die space of 12".<!--TgQPHd|[]--><!--TgQPHd|[]--></li><li><strong>Power:<!--TgQPHd|[]--></strong> Usually operates on a 220 Volts 3 phase electrical system and is driven by a robust flywheel motor<!--TgQPHd|[]--></li><li>Serial No. 5638-337</li><li>Model: 6506</li><li>Foot Petal and Hand operation</li><li>Includes some of the dies in the photos.
