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-M2 130-3 is a 1300 kN press brake with a 3140 mm press beam and 2705 mm between the frames. It is the lighter of two closely matched three-metre machines: the HFE3 170-3 has the same stroke, throat and working height but 1700 kN and a weight of 11600 kg, against 8150 kg here.

Tool space is defined by two rows. Open height without the holder is 470 mm, so the punch holder and the tooling both come out of that figure, and the stroke is 200 mm. Check the combined height of your tallest punch, its holder and the die against 470 mm before assuming a deep part will lift clear.

Throat depth is 420 mm. Blanks narrower than 2705 mm pass between the frames; longer ones, up to the 3140 mm beam, can sit only 420 mm deep. The working height is 960 mm, which is the level the operator feeds the sheet at and the height any sheet supports or carts need to match.

Ram speeds are moderate: 100 mm/sec on approach and return, 10 mm/sec in the bend. Floor space is 4535 mm by 2620 mm with a height of 2805 mm. Amada's table for this model does not state the control or the back gauge axes, so those need to come from the quotation.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

1300 kN on a 3140 mm press beam at a machine weight of 8150 kg
2705 mm between the frames, so blanks up to that width pass through the frame
470 mm open height without holder and a 200 mm stroke
960 mm working height is stated, so sheet supports and carts can be matched to it

Limitations

Ram speeds are modest: 100 mm/sec approach and return, 10 mm/sec bending
1300 kN limits thick material at full length; the HFE3 170-3 offers 1700 kN in the same envelope
Amada's table for this model does not state the control or the number of back gauge axes
Needs 4535 mm of floor length for a 3140 mm beam

Best For

Sheet metal parts up to 3140 mm long within 1300 kN General job-shop bending where 100 mm/sec ram travel is acceptable Panels up to 2705 mm wide passing between the frames Floors where 8150 kg is easier to place than a heavier machine

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is the bending capacity of the HFE-M2 130-3?

1300 kN on a 3140 mm press beam. The frames are 2705 mm apart and the throat depth is 420 mm, so a part longer than 2705 mm can reach at most 420 mm behind the tooling line.

02 What does open height without holder mean on the HFE-M2?

Amada gives the 470 mm open height measured without the punch holder fitted. The holder, punch and die all have to fit inside that figure, and the ram then has a 200 mm stroke to work with. Add up your tooling stack before judging clearance for deep parts.

03 How does the HFE-M2 130-3 differ from the HFE3 170-3?

Mainly in force and mass. The HFE3 170-3 is rated 1700 kN and weighs 11600 kg; this machine is rated 1300 kN and weighs 8150 kg. Stroke, open height without holder, throat depth, working height and ram speeds are the same in both tables.

04 How much space does the HFE-M2 130-3 need?

The machine is 4535 mm long, 2620 mm wide and 2805 mm high, and weighs 8150 kg. The working height is 960 mm. Leave room in front for the longest blank to swing up during the bend.
