Amada HG 2203

The Amada HG 2203 is a 220-metric-ton, 3-meter hybrid servo-hydraulic press brake from Amada’s flagship HG series. It delivers the same 220-ton capacity as the longer HG-2204 but in a more compact 10-foot bed format. The dual servo power drive system only pressurizes the hydraulic circuit during the actual bending stroke, cutting energy consumption roughly 30% compared to conventional full-hydraulic press brakes.

Press capacity is 2,200 kN (220 metric tons / 247 US tons) with a 3,110 mm (122.4 in) press beam length and 2,700 mm (106.3 in) usable distance between frames. Stroke is 250 mm (9.8 in), open height sits at 521 mm (20.5 in), and throat depth is 450 mm (17.7 in). Approach speed hits 220 mm/sec, pressing speed runs at 20 mm/sec, and return speed tops out at 250 mm/sec. Ram repeatability is rated at +/-0.001 mm -- the same class-leading figure across the entire HG lineup.

The AMNC 3i control drives everything through a 19-inch multi-touch LCD panel handling part programming, bend simulation, and machine management. The 8-axis backgauge with L-shift handles complex multi-bend parts without manual repositioning, and an integrated bend sensor detects and compensates for material springback in real time.

Amada offers the HG 2203 in an ATC configuration with their patented Automatic Tool Changer. Complex tool layouts that would take 30-40 minutes to set up manually load automatically in under 3 minutes. With 220 tons concentrated on a 10-foot bed, the HG 2203 excels at heavy-gauge bending on standard sheet sizes.

New HG 2203 base models typically run $250,000-$350,000 depending on tooling and options. The ATC configuration pushes $420,000-$550,000 with standard tooling packages.
