Our best estimate for a cnc press brake in this class — not a quote from Amada. Configuration moves it a long way.

Overview

The Amada HD 100-3 is a hydraulic synchronised press brake listed at 100 tonnes (1,000 kN) with a 3,100 mm working length. The model does not appear in Amada's current lineup, and the notes here are written from the listed figures for people weighing up an existing machine.

Its frame has 2,550 mm between the uprights and a 400 mm throat. Open height is 500 mm and the ram stroke 180 mm. In practice that means three-metre parts can be bent, but only those narrower than 2,550 mm can pass back between the uprights; the stroke, not the open height, is what limits deep sections.

Approach speed is 150 mm/s and return speed 130 mm/s. Bending speed is programmable over 1–15 mm/s, and Y-axis positioning accuracy is listed as ±0.02 mm. Control is the Amada AMNC-PC.

The back gauge is the main thing to inspect. Two axes, X and R, are standard, and Z1/Z2 are optional. A machine with only X and R needs the fingers moved by hand between bends of different length, so find out which version you are being offered.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

100 tonnes (1,000 kN) across a 3,100 mm working length
500 mm open height with 2,550 mm between the uprights
Bending speed programmable over 1–15 mm/s, with 150 mm/s approach
Back gauge can be extended with optional Z1/Z2 axes

Limitations

Not in Amada's current lineup, so the listed figures should be confirmed on the machine
Z1/Z2 back gauge axes are optional; only X and R are standard
Ram stroke is 180 mm, which restricts deep parts and tall tooling
Parts longer than 2,550 mm are confined to the 400 mm throat depth

Frequently Asked Questions

01 Is the HD 100-3 a current Amada model?

No, it is not in Amada's current lineup. The listed figures describe the model in general; an individual machine may differ in back gauge and tooling, so check it against its own documentation.

02 What is the capacity of the Amada HD 100-3?

Listed pressing force is 100 tonnes (1,000 kN) with a working length of 3,100 mm. The distance between the uprights is 2,550 mm, throat depth 400 mm, open height 500 mm and ram stroke 180 mm.

03 Which back gauge axes does the HD 100-3 have?

Two axes are standard: X for flange depth and R for finger height. Z1 and Z2, which move the fingers along the bed, are listed as optional. Ask which axes are fitted before judging how quickly the machine can change between parts.

04 How fast and how accurate is the ram on the HD 100-3?

The ram approaches at 150 mm/s and returns at 130 mm/s. Bending speed can be programmed over 1–15 mm/s. Y-axis positioning accuracy is listed as ±0.02 mm, and the drive is hydraulic synchronised.
