How much does the Amada HG-1703/2203/2204 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 HG-1703/2203/2204 page covers three sizes of one press brake design: the HG-1703 at 1,700 kN (170 metric tons), and the HG-2203 and HG-2204 at 2,200 kN (220 metric tons) each. The figures below are the listed ones and should be confirmed with Amada for the size you want.
Bed length separates them. The HG-1703 has a 3,100 mm (122 in) bed and the HG-2204 a 4,300 mm (169.3 in) bed. No bed length is listed for the HG-2203. The two 2,200 kN sizes therefore differ in length, not force, and the HG-2204 spreads the same capacity over a longer bend.
The ram data is shared. Stroke is 250 mm (9.8 in); speeds are 220 mm/sec on approach, 20 mm/sec pressing and 250 mm/sec on return; repeatability is listed as ±0.001 mm. The drive is named Dual Servo Power, the control is the AMNC 3i, listed as 19-inch, and the backgauge is 8-axis with L-shift.
ATC models add automatic tool changing, with 34.4 m of tool storage and an ATC time listed as under 4 minutes. Weight rises with size and with the tool changer: the HG 1703 is 13800 kg, the HG 2203 15650 kg, the HG-2204 18500 kg and the HG-2204 ATC 22400 kg.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Three sizes on one design: 1,700 kN on the HG-1703 and 2,200 kN on the HG-2203 and HG-2204
- Ram speeds of 220 mm/sec approach and 250 mm/sec return with 20 mm/sec pressing
- Listed ram repeatability of ±0.001 mm
- 8-axis backgauge with L-shift and the AMNC 3i (19-inch) control
- ATC models carry 34.4 m of tool storage, with an ATC time under 4 minutes
Limitations
- No bed length is listed for the HG-2203
- Tool storage and the under 4 minutes ATC time apply to ATC models only
- Open height, throat depth and machine dimensions are not listed
- The HG-2204 ATC weighs 22400 kg, against 18500 kg for the HG-2204 without the tool changer

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Capacity and bed length. The HG-1703 is listed at 1,700 kN (170 metric tons) with a 3,100 mm (122 in) bed. The HG-2203 and HG-2204 are both 2,200 kN (220 metric tons), and the HG-2204 has a 4,300 mm (169.3 in) bed. Stroke, speeds, control and backgauge are listed once for all three.
02
Approach speed is 220 mm/sec, pressing speed 20 mm/sec and return speed 250 mm/sec, over a 250 mm (9.8 in) stroke. Ram repeatability is listed as ±0.001 mm.
03
ATC models have an automatic tool changer with 34.4 m of tool storage and an ATC time listed as under 4 minutes. The table does not say exactly what that time covers, so ask Amada which tool setup it refers to.
04
The HG 1703 weighs 13800 kg, the HG 2203 15650 kg and the HG-2204 18500 kg. With the tool changer, the HG-2204 ATC weighs 22400 kg. Check floor loading for the specific size and version.
