Machine Comparison
Amada EG-4010 vs Bystronic Xpress 160
Amada vs Bystronic · CNC Press Brakes
Summary
The Amada EG-4010 and the Bystronic Xpress 160 are both CNC press brakes, but they are described for different work: the Amada for small brackets and thin-gauge parts, the Bystronic for longer parts and taller setups. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair, and the table has two rows.
Open height is the one measured difference: 550 mm on the Bystronic Xpress 160 against 295 mm (11.6 in) on the Amada EG-4010, which leaves more room for tall tooling and deep parts. The controls differ as well. The Amada runs the AMNC 3i with a 15.6-inch touchscreen, and the Bystronic runs BySoft Cell Control Bend.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Amada EG-4010 | Bystronic Xpress 160 |
|---|---|---|
| Open Height | 295 mm (11.6 in) | 550 mm ▲ |
| Control | AMNC 3i (15.6-inch touchscreen) | BySoft Cell Control Bend |
Advantages
Amada EG-4010
- Aimed at small brackets and thin-gauge parts rather than long sheet
- Suits shops with limited power and cells where noise level matters
Bystronic Xpress 160
- 550 mm open height against 295 mm (11.6 in), for taller tooling and deeper parts
- Suited to longer parts and to short-flange work where ram speed carries the cycle
Verdict
These press brakes fit different jobs. The Amada EG-4010 is the choice for a cell that bends small brackets and thin-gauge parts, where its 295 mm (11.6 in) open height is enough and power or noise limits apply. The Bystronic Xpress 160 is the choice when parts are longer or tooling and part heights need its 550 mm open height. With only two rows published for both, compare bending length and press force on each machine's own page before deciding.
