Amada EG-4010 vs Trumpf TruBend 5170
Amada vs Trumpf · CNC Press Brakes
Summary
The Amada EG-4010 and the Trumpf TruBend 5170 are both CNC press brakes, but they serve different jobs. The Amada is a compact machine for small brackets; the Trumpf is a full-size brake for long parts and deep boxes. The makers publish few comparable figures for this pair, and the table has three rows.
The Trumpf TruBend 5170 has the deeper throat, 420 mm (16.5 in) against 200 mm (7.9 in), which helps with wide sheets. It is also by far the heavier machine at 14,150 kg (31,195 lb) against 2,800 kg (6,173 lb). The Amada runs the AMNC 3i with a 15.6-inch touchscreen; the Trumpf runs Touchpoint TruBend.

Advantages
Amada EG-4010
- Much lighter installation: 2,800 kg (6,173 lb) against 14,150 kg (31,195 lb)
- Aimed at small brackets and thin-gauge parts
- Suits shops with limited power and cells where noise level matters
Trumpf TruBend 5170
- 420 mm (16.5 in) throat depth against 200 mm (7.9 in)
- Suited to long parts that need crowning, deep boxes and tall flanges
- Described for tapered or stepped blanks positioned with a multi-axis back gauge
Verdict
Choose by part size. The Amada EG-4010 belongs in a cell bending small brackets and thin-gauge parts, where a 2,800 kg (6,173 lb) machine with a 200 mm (7.9 in) throat is all the work needs. The Trumpf TruBend 5170 belongs in a shop bending long parts, deep boxes and wide sheets that rely on its 420 mm (16.5 in) throat, and that can place a 14,150 kg (31,195 lb) machine. A shop considering one is rarely considering the other.
