Machine Comparison
Amada HG-1003 vs Amada HG-1703/2203/2204
Amada vs Amada · CNC Press Brakes
Summary
The Amada HG-1003 and the Amada HG-1703/2203/2204 are press brakes from the same Amada HG family. The first page describes one model; the second covers three models in two bed lengths. Amada publishes few comparable figures for this pair, and after re-verification no specification row is listed for both, so the table is empty and no figure is compared here.
What can be said comes from how each is used. The Amada HG-1003 suits short runs with frequent setups and parts that need repeatable angles. The Amada HG-1703/2203/2204 series suits buyers still choosing a bed length, with ATC models for high-mix work. Both list a multi-axis back gauge with L-shift.

Advantages
Amada HG-1003
- A single-model page, so its listed figures describe one machine rather than a series
- Suits short runs with frequent setups, drawing on its automatic tool changer tooling
Amada HG-1703/2203/2204
- Three models in two bed lengths to choose from
- ATC models in the series suit high-mix work that gains from automatic tool changing
Verdict
No figure in the table separates these two, so choose by the work. A shop bending short runs with frequent setups should start with the Amada HG-1003. A shop that has not yet fixed its bed length, or that wants to weigh several sizes together, should start with the Amada HG-1703/2203/2204 series page. Take bend length and tonnage from each machine's own page, since this comparison cannot set them side by side.
