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 HG 1703 combines 1700 kN on a 3110 mm press beam with a fast ram: 220 mm/sec on approach, 20 mm/sec in the bend and 250 mm/sec on return. It is a three-metre production machine whose table favours cycle time and tool room as much as force.
The opening is large. Stroke is 250 mm and open height without the holder is 520 mm, so tall punches and deep return flanges are practical. Throat depth is 450 mm. With 2700 mm between the frames, panels up to that width run back through the machine, and the last stretch up to 3110 mm is limited to the throat.
Speed matters most on parts with many bends. A return at 250 mm/sec and an approach at 220 mm/sec shorten the idle travel of each stroke, and 20 mm/sec in the bend keeps forming time down as well. Operators feed at a working height of 960 mm.
The machine is much longer than its beam: 5560 mm overall, 2880 mm wide and 3189 mm high, at 13800 kg. In the same series the HG 2203 weighs 15650 kg and the HG-2204 18500 kg, so the HG 1703 is the lightest of the three to site.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Ram speeds of 220 mm/sec approach, 20 mm/sec bending and 250 mm/sec return
- 250 mm stroke with 520 mm open height without holder for tall tooling
- 1700 kN on a 3110 mm press beam, with 2700 mm between the frames
- 450 mm throat depth for parts longer than the frame gap
- At 13800 kg it is lighter than the HG 2203 (15650 kg)
Limitations
- Overall length is 5560 mm for a 3110 mm beam, so it takes a long stretch of floor
- 3189 mm machine height needs checking against doors and crane hooks
- 1700 kN caps plate thickness at full length
- Amada's table for this model does not list the control or back gauge axes

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The ram approaches at 220 mm/sec, bends at 20 mm/sec and returns at 250 mm/sec. On a part with many bends most of the stroke is approach and return, so those two figures have more effect on cycle time than the bending speed.
02
A 250 mm stroke and 520 mm of open height measured without the punch holder. The holder and tooling come out of the 520 mm, so add up the tooling stack to see what is left for the part. Throat depth is 450 mm.
03
Press capacity is 1700 kN and the press beam is 3110 mm long. The distance between the frames is 2700 mm, which is the widest part that can pass through the frame.
04
It measures 5560 mm long, 2880 mm wide and 3189 mm high and weighs 13800 kg. The working height is 960 mm. The overall length is well beyond the 3110 mm beam, so plan the floor from the 5560 mm figure.
05
It is the lightest listed here at 13800 kg. The HG 2203 weighs 15650 kg, the HG-2204 18500 kg and the HG-2204 ATC 22400 kg.
