How much does the Bystronic Xpert 250 cost?
Estimated price range
Our best estimate for a cnc press brake in this class — not a quote from Bystronic. Configuration moves it a long way.
Overview
The Bystronic Xpert 250 is a press brake with 250 tonnes (2,452 kN) of press force on a 3,050 mm bending length, a 6-axis CNC back gauge and a machine weight of approx. 18,500 kg, going by the listed figures.
That is a high force for the length. Concentrating 250 tonnes (2,452 kN) on 3,050 mm puts this machine in plate work: thick mild steel, high-strength steels with their higher force demand, and long bends in medium plate that a lighter brake of the same length could not close. Tooling has to be rated to match, because the limit on a short heavy bend is often the load per metre the punch and die will take, not the machine.
The opening suits that kind of part. Daylight is 510 mm and the stroke 250 mm, enough for tall dies with wide V-openings and for removing deep channels. The ram approaches at 200 mm/s, returns at 180 mm/s and bends at a variable 1–15 mm/s. Ram parallelism is listed at ±0.01 mm.
A 6-axis CNC back gauge with 700 mm of X travel positions each finger independently, which helps with tapered blanks and asymmetric parts. Flanges deeper than 700 mm have to be gauged another way. The control is Bystronic ByVision Bending CNC. Plan the foundation for approx. 18,500 kg; the Xpert 150 is listed at ~8,500 kg (18,739 lb) on a 3,100 mm (122 in) bending length, so this frame is more than twice the weight for almost the same length.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 250 tonnes (2,452 kN) of press force on a 3,050 mm bending length
- 6-axis CNC back gauge with 700 mm of X travel
- 510 mm daylight and 250 mm stroke for tall tooling and deep parts
- Ram parallelism listed at ±0.01 mm
- 200 mm/s approach and 180 mm/s return speed
Limitations
- Machine weight of approx. 18,500 kg needs a foundation and lifting plan to match
- Bending length ends at 3,050 mm; the Xpert 320 is listed with 4,250 mm (167.3 in)
- Back gauge X travel is 700 mm, so deeper flanges need a different gauging method
- No throat depth or distance between the side frames is given

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The listed press force is 250 tonnes (2,452 kN) over a bending length of 3,050 mm. The sheet thickness this bends depends on material strength, bend length and die opening, and on short bends the load rating of the tooling can be reached before that of the machine.
02
A 6-axis CNC back gauge with 700 mm of X travel. Six axes let the two fingers be set independently in depth, height and sideways position, which is what tapered or stepped parts need. No back gauge speed or accuracy is listed.
03
Daylight is 510 mm and stroke is 250 mm. Subtract the height of the punch, holder and die you plan to use from the daylight to see what remains for the part, and compare the stroke with the deepest channel you need to lift out.
04
Approach speed is listed at 200 mm/s and return speed at 180 mm/s. Bending speed is variable from 1–15 mm/s. Ram parallelism is ±0.01 mm, and the control is Bystronic ByVision Bending CNC.
