How much does the Amada HG-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
A 4300 mm press beam with 2200 kN behind it defines the Amada HG-2204, the long-bed machine of the 2200 kN pair. The frames stand 3760 mm apart, and that is the figure to check first for long panels: a sheet up to that width passes between the frames, and anything longer must be bent inside the 450 mm throat.
Force per unit of length is the trade against the HG 2203, which carries the same 2200 kN on a 3110 mm beam and so concentrates the force on shorter work. The HG-2204 is for parts that are long first and heavy second: cabinet sides, trays, long enclosure panels, and staged work with several tool setups spaced along the beam.
Vertical room is 250 mm of stroke and 520 mm of open height, measured without the tool holder. The ram runs a 220 mm/sec approach, 20 mm/sec bending and a 250 mm/sec return. Working height is listed at 950 mm.
Amada also offers this frame size with an ATC unit as the HG-2204 ATC. That version is listed at 8230 mm long and 22400 kg, against 6650 mm and 18500 kg for the stand-alone HG-2204 described here. The plain machine is 2922 mm wide and 3215 mm high. Where tooling is changed by hand only a few times a shift, the smaller footprint may count for more than the stockers.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 4300 mm press beam with 3760 mm between the frames for long panels
- 2200 kN press capacity, the same rating as the shorter 3110 mm HG 2203
- 250 mm stroke and 520 mm open height without holder
- Ram approaches at 220 mm/sec and returns at 250 mm/sec
- Stand-alone HG-2204 is 6650 mm long and 18500 kg, against 8230 mm and 22400 kg for the HG-2204 ATC
Limitations
- For short, heavy bends the extra beam adds floor space without adding force: the HG 2203 gives the same 2200 kN in a machine 5589 mm long
- Needs 6650 mm of length and carries 18500 kg, so rigging and floor loading have to be planned
- Throat depth is 450 mm, which limits flange depth on parts longer than the 3760 mm between frames
- No tool storage on this version; the HG-2204 ATC carries 18 punch stockers and 25 die stockers

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The press has the same rating in both: 2200 kN, a 4300 mm beam, 3760 mm between frames, a 250 mm stroke and the same ram speeds. The HG-2204 ATC adds tool storage with 18 punch stockers and 25 die stockers, and it is larger and heavier at 8230 mm long, 3287 mm wide, 3325 mm high and 22400 kg. The stand-alone HG-2204 is 6650 mm long, 2922 mm wide, 3215 mm high and weighs 18500 kg.
02
That depends on material, thickness and die opening, which have to be worked out from a bending force chart. What the table fixes is the ceiling: 2200 kN in total, however long the bend. A bend that uses the full 4300 mm has less force available per unit of length than the same bend made on a shorter line of tooling.
03
3760 mm. Parts up to that width can sit between the side frames. Longer parts, up to the 4300 mm beam length, extend past the frames and are limited by the 450 mm throat depth.
04
Weight and size. The machine weighs 18500 kg and measures 6650 mm by 2922 mm, with a height of 3215 mm, so confirm the floor loading, the lifting plan and the route into the building. The working height is 950 mm. Leave room in front for a sheet as long as the 4300 mm beam to be turned.
