Overview

The Amada FBD 8025 is a compact hydraulic CNC press brake offering 80 tonnes of pressing force across an 2,500 mm working length. Positioned at the entry point of Amada's hydraulic press brake range, the FBD series is designed for smaller fabrication shops, tool rooms, and production cells where floor space is limited and bending requirements fall within standard sheet metal gauges and short to medium part lengths.

The FBD 8025 uses a conventional hydraulic synchronised drive with CNC-controlled Y1/Y2 cylinder positioning, delivering reliable repeatability for general fabrication applications. The machine is paired with Amada's AMNC-D or equivalent entry-level control, providing graphical bend programming with stored program capability for repeat-job efficiency. While the FBD does not carry the servo-hydraulic upgrades or adaptive features of Amada's HG or HFE series, its straightforward architecture reduces acquisition cost and simplifies training for shops new to CNC press brakes.

At 2,500 mm working length and 80 tonnes, the FBD 8025 handles a broad range of standard applications including electrical enclosures, brackets, flanges, and formed channels in mild steel up to 6 mm and aluminium up to 8 mm. The compact footprint makes it compatible with tight workshop layouts and manufacturing cells where larger press brakes cannot be accommodated without significant facility modification.

Amada's global tooling compatibility is a key advantage for FBD buyers who already operate other Amada press brakes, as existing punches and dies can be shared across machines without purchasing redundant tooling inventories. The FBD uses standard European-style Amada tooling with conventional clamping, making it straightforward to equip from Amada's extensive punch and die library.

The FBD 8025 competes with Bystronic's Xpress 160, LVD's Easy-Form 80-25, and TRUMPF's TruBend 3066 in the compact hydraulic press brake category. For smaller fabricators needing a reliable Amada-backed machine with straightforward CNC programming and established service support, the FBD 8025 provides a practical, low-risk entry into Amada's press brake ecosystem.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

Compact footprint suits small fabrication shops and production cells where floor space is constrained
Lower entry price than servo-hydraulic equivalents makes CNC bending accessible to smaller operations
Compatible with Amada's standard tooling system, enabling shared tooling across multiple Amada press brakes in the same shop
Simple hydraulic drive architecture minimises training requirements and reduces maintenance complexity
80-tonne capacity handles the majority of standard sheet metal gauges in mild steel, stainless, and aluminium

Limitations

2,500 mm working length restricts maximum part size compared to 3,100 mm class machines from competitors
No servo-hydraulic drive or adaptive crowning — angle consistency on long workpieces requires periodic manual calibration
Standard 2-axis back-gauge limits complex multi-bend programming versus higher-spec competitors with 5-axis back gauges

Best For

Small fabrication shops and tool rooms needing reliable hydraulic bending for standard sheet metal gauges up to 6 mm mild steel Electrical enclosure and control panel manufacturers forming standard bracket and door panel geometries Shops already running Amada press brakes seeking a compact secondary machine with shared tooling compatibility Production cells requiring a small-footprint CNC press brake for dedicated forming operations on specific part families

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the maximum material thickness the FBD 8025 can bend?

The FBD 8025's 80-tonne capacity allows bending of mild steel up to approximately 5–6 mm at the full 2,500 mm working length, or up to 8–10 mm on shorter bends concentrated over part of the working length. For stainless steel, effective capacity drops by roughly 40%. Always consult Amada's bending force charts for specific material grades and bend radii.

02 Does the FBD 8025 use the same tooling as Amada's HG and HFE series?

Yes. Amada designs its press brake tooling for cross-compatibility across its product lineup. Standard Amada punches and dies fitted to HG or HFE series machines can typically be used on the FBD 8025, providing shops with existing Amada tooling inventories a straightforward path to equipping the FBD without additional tooling investment.

03 Is the FBD 8025 suitable for stainless steel bending?

The FBD 8025 can bend stainless steel in thinner gauges, typically up to 3–4 mm at full working length within its 80-tonne force envelope. Stainless requires approximately 40–50% more force than mild steel for equivalent thickness and bend geometry, so heavy-gauge stainless work is better suited to higher-tonnage models in the Amada lineup.

04 What programming options are available for the FBD 8025?

The FBD 8025 is equipped with Amada's AMNC-D control for shop-floor programming. It also supports program import from Amada's offline programming systems, allowing bend programs to be prepared at a workstation and downloaded to the machine, reducing setup time on the shop floor.

05 How does the FBD 8025 compare to the Bystronic Xpress 160?

Both machines occupy the compact hydraulic press brake segment. The Bystronic Xpress 160 offers 160 tonnes of force at a similar working length, giving it an advantage in heavier-gauge applications. The FBD 8025's advantage lies in Amada's tooling ecosystem compatibility and Amada's established service network, which can be a deciding factor for shops already standardised on Amada equipment.
