How much does the Bystronic Xpress 160 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 Xpress 160 is a press brake with 160 t of force over a 3100 mm bending length. Bystronic publishes a short table for it: 550 mm of open height, a 250 mm standard stroke, a maximum high speed of 150 mm/s and a maximum working speed of 10 mm/s. The control is BySoft Cell Control Bend.
The two speeds describe different parts of the stroke. 150 mm/s is the fast move down to the sheet and back up, and 10 mm/s is the ceiling while the punch is in the material. On short flanges most of the cycle is fast travel, so the high speed counts for more than the working speed there.
What the table leaves out matters as much when asking for a quotation. It gives no backgauge travel or axis count, no throat, no distance between the side frames and no machine weight. The Xpert Pro 150 has the same 3,100 mm bending length and is listed at 12.2 t. Ask for the matching figures on the Xpress 160 before planning the floor or judging which parts will fit.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 160 t of force over a 3100 mm bending length
- 550 mm of open height with a 250 mm standard stroke
- Maximum high speed of 150 mm/s for the approach and return moves
- Runs Bystronic's BySoft Cell Control Bend
Limitations
- Maximum working speed is 10 mm/s, which sets the pace on long bending strokes
- Bystronic's table gives no backgauge, throat, frame spacing or weight figures, so those have to be requested

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Bystronic lists 160 t of force and a bending length of 3100 mm. Open height is 550 mm and the standard stroke is 250 mm.
02
The maximum high speed is 150 mm/s and the maximum working speed is 10 mm/s. The first applies to the fast moves to and from the sheet, the second to the bending part of the stroke.
03
The control is listed as BySoft Cell Control Bend. Bystronic's table for this model gives no further control details, so ask about programming and offline software when requesting a quotation.
