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 HRB 1003 is a 1000 kN CNC press brake, and of the three HRB sizes listed together it is the quick one. Its ram approaches at 200 mm/sec, bends at 15 mm/sec and returns at 150 mm/sec. The HRB 1303 and HRB 2204 are both listed at 100 mm/sec approach, 10 mm/sec bending and 100 mm/sec return.

That gap matters on light work. Thin sheet with many bends per part spends most of its ram time travelling, and a 200 mm/sec approach halves that portion compared with the two heavier machines. The trade for the speed is force: 1000 kN is the lowest rating of the three.

Clearance is not reduced on the small machine, with 520 mm of open height and a 250 mm stroke. It is 4880 mm long, 3100 mm wide and 2680 mm high, the lowest of the three. The table gives no bending length, distance between frames or machine weight for this model, so request those before planning parts or rigging.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

200 mm/sec approach, twice the 100 mm/sec listed for the HRB 1303 and HRB 2204
15 mm/sec bending speed and 150 mm/sec return, also the fastest of the three HRB sizes
520 mm open height with a 250 mm stroke
Lowest machine of the three at 2680 mm high

Limitations

1000 kN is the smallest press capacity of the three; the HRB 1303 offers 1300 kN and the HRB 2204 2200 kN
Amada's table gives no bending length, distance between frames or weight for this model

Best For

Thin and medium gauge parts with many bends Work within 1000 kN where ram speed sets the cycle Deep or tall parts using the 250 mm stroke and 520 mm open height

Frequently Asked Questions

01 How does the HRB 1003 differ from the HRB 1303?

Force and speed. The HRB 1003 is rated 1000 kN and runs 200 mm/sec approach, 15 mm/sec bending and 150 mm/sec return. The HRB 1303 is rated 1300 kN and runs 100 mm/sec, 10 mm/sec and 100 mm/sec. Both have 520 mm of open height and a 250 mm stroke, and the footprints are close: 4880 mm by 3100 mm for the HRB 1003 and 4895 mm by 3200 mm for the HRB 1303.

02 How much room does the HRB 1003 need?

The machine is 4880 mm long, 3100 mm wide and 2680 mm high. Add space in front for handling the sheet and behind for the backgauge. The table does not state the machine weight, so get it from the foundation drawing before booking a crane or checking the floor.

03 What stroke and open height does the HRB 1003 have?

A 250 mm stroke and 520 mm of open height. Those are the same figures Amada lists for the HRB 1303 and HRB 2204, so choosing the smaller machine does not give up clearance for tall tooling or deep parts.
