How much does the Amada HFE 220-4 cost?
Estimated price range
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 HFE 220-4 is listed at 220 tonnes (2,200 kN) with a 4,100 mm working length, which puts it in the four-metre class. Amada's current lineup does not include this model, so the listed figures are a guide for anyone assessing an existing machine.
The uprights stand 3,550 mm apart. That is the figure that decides whether a wide panel can travel back through the frame, and it is generous here; anything between 3,550 mm and 4,100 mm long is confined to the 425 mm throat. Open height is 530 mm and the ram stroke 200 mm, so tall tooling fits but the ram travel sets the limit on deep sections.
The drive is listed as servo-electric with dual ball screws. Approach is 200 mm/s, return 180 mm/s, and the bending speed is programmable over 1–20 mm/s. Y-axis positioning accuracy is ±0.01 mm. The control is the Amada AMNC-3i.
The back gauge row reads 6 axes: X, R, Z1, Z2 and X5, with L optional. At approximately 18,000 kg the machine is far heavier than the three-metre HFE3 170-3 at 11600 kg and the HFE-M2 130-3 at 8150 kg.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 220 tonnes (2,200 kN) over a 4,100 mm working length
- 3,550 mm between the uprights for wide panels
- Bending speed programmable over 1–20 mm/s, with 200 mm/s approach and 180 mm/s return
- Y-axis positioning accuracy listed as ±0.01 mm
- Six listed back gauge axes under the AMNC-3i control
Limitations
- Not in Amada's current lineup; confirm the listed figures on the machine
- Approximately 18,000 kg, so floor loading and rigging need planning
- Ram stroke is 200 mm against 530 mm of open height, which limits deep sections
- The L back gauge axis is listed as optional, not standard

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed pressing force is 220 tonnes (2,200 kN) and the working length is 4,100 mm. Distance between the uprights is 3,550 mm, throat depth 425 mm, open height 530 mm and ram stroke 200 mm.
02
It is not in Amada's current lineup. For a machine offered second-hand, confirm the listed figures, the drive type and the back gauge axes on the machine itself.
03
The drive type is listed as servo-electric with dual ball screws, and the control as the Amada AMNC-3i. Ram speeds are 200 mm/s on approach, 1–20 mm/s programmable when bending and 180 mm/s on return.
04
Approximately 18,000 kg. For scale, the HFE3 170-3 weighs 11600 kg and the HFE-M2 130-3 weighs 8150 kg, so this machine needs heavier rigging and a floor checked for the load.
