Accurpress E-Form 5006

The Accurpress E-Form 5006 is a servo-electric CNC press brake from Accurpress, a Canadian manufacturer with roots dating to 1973 and a strong reputation in the North American sheet metal fabrication market. The E-Form series is Accurpress's all-electric press brake line, using servo motors driving ball screw mechanisms to move the ram — eliminating the hydraulic system entirely. At 50 tonnes of bending force and a 6-foot (1,828 mm) working length, the E-Form 5006 targets small-to-mid fabricators, precision shops, and first-time press brake buyers who value clean operation, low energy consumption, and precise ram control.

The servo-electric drive architecture delivers several practical advantages over hydraulic machines. There is no hydraulic fluid to maintain or dispose of, no pump to service, and no heat generation from hydraulic oil recirculation. Energy consumption is dramatically lower — servo motors only draw current when working, and regenerative braking during ram return feeds energy back to the supply. Ram speed can be programmed independently for approach, bending, and return, with approach speeds up to 150 mm/s. Positioning repeatability is ±0.01 mm, matching hydraulic machines despite the fundamentally simpler drive mechanism.

The E-Form 5006 is equipped with the Accurpress AccuTouch CNC control, a touchscreen-based controller designed for ease of use in job shop environments. The back gauge system provides CNC-controlled X and R axes as standard, with optional Z1/Z2 for independent stop positioning. The machine uses European Promecam-compatible tooling, and Accurpress supplies a range of standard tooling packages. The compact footprint of the E-Form 5006 — significantly smaller than a hydraulic machine of equivalent force — makes it suitable for shops with limited floor space or multi-machine cells.

Accurpress has a well-established North American dealer and service network, with parts and technical support accessible across Canada and the United States. The E-Form 5006 competes with the Amada EG-5013AR, Trumpf TruBend 1000, and Bystronic Xpert 40 in the servo-electric compact press brake segment. Pricing typically ranges from $65,000 to $95,000 depending on back gauge configuration and options, positioning it as accessible for smaller shops entering the CNC press brake market.
