Overview
The Accurpress Elite 10010 is a heavy-duty CNC press brake delivering 100 tons of bending force across a 10-foot (3,048 mm) working length. Positioned at the top of the Accurpress Elite series, the 10010 targets fabrication shops, structural component manufacturers, and OEM operations that routinely bend longer parts or heavier gauges of mild steel, stainless, and aluminum. The Elite series distinguishes itself from the entry-level Advantage line through enhanced frame rigidity, higher-precision hydraulic synchronization, and an upgraded control platform.
The Elite 10010 employs a dual-cylinder synchronized hydraulic system with real-time feedback to maintain ram parallelism within tight tolerances, reducing angle variation across long bend lines. An integrated hydraulic crowning system automatically compensates for ram and bed deflection based on programmed tonnage and bend length, eliminating the need for manual tooling shimming on most jobs. This makes the 10010 particularly effective for high-volume production of parts requiring consistent angles across full-length bends.
Standard equipment includes a comprehensive CNC back gauge system with multiple axes, enabling complex part handling and repositioning between bend sequences. The control system stores a library of tooling profiles, material correction tables, and multi-step part programs, and supports offline programming compatibility for shops running CAD/CAM workflows. The large working length also accommodates tandem tooling setups for specialized applications.
The Accurpress Elite 10010 is a significant capital investment that pays off in throughput reliability and low maintenance costs. With a North American manufacturing pedigree, ready access to parts, and a robust hydraulic design built for decades of service, the 10010 is a long-term production asset for shops that cannot afford downtime on their primary bending operation.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 100 tons over 10 feet handles a wide range of heavy-gauge and long-part bending applications
- Automatic hydraulic crowning compensates for deflection without manual shimming
- High-precision dual-cylinder synchronization maintains consistent angles across full bed
- North American build with strong parts availability and regional service network
Limitations
- Large footprint and significant weight require substantial floor space and reinforced slab

Frequently Asked Questions
01
At full 3,048 mm (10 ft) working length, the Elite 10010 can typically bend mild steel up to approximately 4–5 mm (7–8 gauge) depending on die opening and material tensile strength. At shorter bend lengths, heavier material is achievable.
02
Yes. The Elite series is designed to support synchronized tandem operation when paired with a compatible second press brake of the same frame size. This effectively doubles the working length for very long structural parts.
03
The Elite CNC controller supports offline programming through compatible CAD/CAM software. Accurpress works with standard bend simulation packages, and part programs can be transferred via USB or network connection directly to the machine control.
