Amada vs Amada · CNC Press Brakes
Summary
The Amada HG-2204 and the Amada HG-2204 ATC are two versions of one press brake, without and with an automatic tool changer. Amada publishes few comparable figures for this pair: the table has two rows. Stroke is 250 mm on both.
The one listed difference is machine weight: 18500 kg for the Amada HG-2204 against 22400 kg for the Amada HG-2204 ATC. Beyond that the choice is about tooling. The ATC version suits high-mix work with many tool changes per shift, while the standard machine suits long panels and staged bending with several tool setups along one beam.
Specifications Comparison
| Specification | Amada HG-2204 | Amada HG-2204 ATC |
|---|---|---|
| Stroke | 250 mm | 250 mm |
| Machine Weight | 18500 kg | 22400 kg |
Advantages
Amada HG-2204
- Lighter machine at 18500 kg against 22400 kg
- Suits staged bending with several tool setups along one beam
Amada HG-2204 ATC
- Automatic tool changer for high-mix work with many tool changes per shift
- Suits short runs of long parts
Verdict
Buy on changeover frequency. A shop bending short runs of varied long parts, with many tool changes per shift, should choose the Amada HG-2204 ATC and plan for its 22400 kg weight. A shop that stages several tool setups along one beam and changes tooling rarely has no need for the changer and should choose the Amada HG-2204 at 18500 kg. Stroke is 250 mm either way.
