Overview
The Amada HG 8025 is a large-format, high-capacity hydraulic CNC press brake delivering 250 metric tons of pressing force across an 8,000 mm bending length — making it one of the largest and most capable press brakes in Amada's HG series lineup. Purpose-built for heavy fabrication, structural steel work, and large panel bending, the HG 8025 serves shipbuilders, bridge and construction equipment fabricators, industrial machinery manufacturers, and any operation requiring the combination of extreme tonnage and very long bending length in a single machine.
The HG series uses Amada's servo-hydraulic drive system, which combines the high force and reliability of hydraulic actuation with servo-controlled precision for tight ram positioning accuracy. The machine features Amada's AMNC 3i CNC controller, which provides graphical 3D bending simulation, step-by-step tool setup guidance, and integration with Amada's AP100 and Dr.ABE Bend offline programming software. The back gauge system is configurable with up to 6 axes of CNC control for precise part positioning on complex bending sequences.
Amada's Automatic Crowning Compensation (ACC) system continuously measures and compensates for table deflection across the 8,000 mm bending length, ensuring consistent angular accuracy from one end of the machine to the other. This is essential on a machine of this size, where deflection differences between center and ends can be substantial without active compensation. The HG 8025 also supports Amada's Bending Advisor intelligent parameter management, which helps operators select optimal tooling, pressures, and back gauge positions for each bend.
For fabricators who regularly bend 8-meter structural panels, pressure vessel shells, wind turbine components, or heavy equipment chassis members, the HG 8025 is one of the definitive heavy bending solutions from a globally trusted builder. Its combination of extreme length, high tonnage, and advanced CNC control puts it at the top of Amada's hydraulic press brake range.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Extreme 8,000 mm bending length handles the largest structural and panel bending requirements without repositioning or staging
- 250-ton pressing force covers heavy plate bending in structural steel, stainless, and thick aluminum up to the limits of practical sheet metal fabrication
- Automatic Crowning Compensation maintains angular consistency across the full 8-meter bending length, eliminating manual shimming and adjustment
- AMNC 3i controller with 3D simulation and Bending Advisor reduces programming complexity on long, multi-break bending sequences
- Up to 6-axis CNC back gauge enables precise, repeatable positioning for complex geometries on large structural parts
Limitations
- Extreme machine weight (approximately 55,000 kg) requires significant foundation preparation and overhead crane infrastructure for installation
- High capital cost limits accessibility to heavy industrial fabricators with sustained demand for very large bending work
- 8-meter machine requires substantial shop floor space and material handling equipment — not suitable for general fabrication environments

Frequently Asked Questions
01
At 8,000 mm with 250 tons of pressing force, the HG 8025 can bend mild steel up to approximately 8–10 mm at full bending length depending on tooling geometry and die width. On shorter sections of the bending length, significantly thicker material — up to 20 mm or more — can be bent within the machine's tonnage capacity. Amada's Bending Advisor software calculates required tonnage for each bend.
02
The HG 8025 uses Amada's Automatic Crowning Compensation (ACC) system, which monitors and adjusts the table profile in real time to compensate for deflection under load. Without ACC, a machine of this size would produce significantly different angles at the center vs. the ends. ACC brings angular accuracy to within ±0.3° across the full bending length.
03
The HG 8025 is fully supported by Amada's AP100 and Dr.ABE Bend offline programming software. Dr.ABE Bend provides 3D bending simulation with collision detection, automatic bend sequence optimization, and tool selection assistance. Programs are transferred directly to the AMNC 3i controller via network or USB.
04
A machine weighing approximately 55,000 kg requires a reinforced concrete foundation designed to specification by a structural engineer, accounting for the dynamic loads generated during bending cycles. Amada provides foundation drawings as part of the machine's installation documentation package. Overhead crane access of at least 20 tons is recommended for tooling changes and service.
05
The HG 2204 provides 220 tons over a 2,200 mm bending length — a substantial machine suited for medium-to-heavy fabrication. The HG 8025 offers similar force (250 tons) but across nearly four times the bending length (8,000 mm), making it suited for structural fabrication applications that the HG 2204 cannot handle. The HG 8025 is significantly larger and more expensive.
