Overview

The Ermak Falcon Bend 4100/175 is a heavy-duty CNC press brake from Ermak, a Turkish manufacturer with over 40 years of experience producing sheet metal fabrication equipment. With 175 tonnes of bending force and a 4,100 mm working length, this machine targets fabricators who need to bend long, wide sheet metal parts — structural components, agricultural equipment panels, shipbuilding parts, and architectural cladding. The Falcon Bend line represents Ermak's mainstream hydraulic press brake platform, combining European-engineered controls with competitive pricing from Turkish manufacturing.

The machine uses a hydraulic drive system with servo-proportional valve control for precise ram positioning. The standard control is the Delem DA-66T, a touchscreen CNC with 2D graphical programming, automatic bend sequence calculation, and a material database for common steel grades and aluminum alloys. Back gauge positioning is achieved via a 6-axis CNC back gauge (X, R, Z1, Z2 axes standard, with optional V and W axes for complex gauging), enabling accurate positioning of parts up to 4,100 mm wide without repositioning stops. Crowning compensation is built in to correct for ram deflection on long bends.

The Falcon Bend 4100/175 is built around a robust C-frame steel welded construction with stress-relieved side frames. Precision-ground guide columns and synchronized hydraulic cylinders ensure parallel ram travel across the full bending length. The machine achieves a positioning repeatability of ±0.01 mm, which is competitive for hydraulic press brakes in this tonnage and length class. Safety features include a Lazersafe or equivalent light curtain system as standard, with front safety guards and two-hand control options.

For North American and European buyers, Ermak distributes through regional dealers who provide local applications support and spare parts stocking. The Falcon Bend 4100/175 competes with the Durma AD-R series, Baykal APH series, and entry-level offerings from Amada and Trumpf at substantially higher price points. Pricing typically ranges from $95,000 to $140,000 depending on back gauge configuration, crowning system, and optional laser angle measurement.

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

4,100 mm working length handles long structural panels, agricultural equipment parts, and architectural cladding in a single setup without repositioning
Delem DA-66T control offers intuitive 2D graphical programming with automatic bend sequence optimization, reducing setup time for complex multi-bend parts
6-axis CNC back gauge with Z1/Z2 independent control enables angled gauging and part stop positioning across the full working length
Built-in hydraulic crowning system compensates for ram deflection, maintaining consistent bend angle across the full 4,100 mm bending length
Competitive pricing versus European and Japanese press brakes of equivalent tonnage and length provides strong value for job shops and fabricators

Limitations

Hydraulic drive system is slower and less energy-efficient than servo-electric or hybrid designs — higher electricity consumption during production
175-tonne force may be insufficient for heavy plate bending in structural steel or shipbuilding applications requiring 250+ tonnes
Turkish origin may require longer lead times for spare parts compared to brands with North American or European parts depots

Best For

Agricultural equipment manufacturers bending large panels, hoods, and structural frames from mild steel and high-strength plate Structural steel fabricators producing column covers, beam enclosures, and architectural steel elements requiring long, consistent bends HVAC and ventilation manufacturers bending ductwork, housings, and equipment enclosures in galvanized and stainless steel Job shops requiring a versatile, large-format press brake for diverse customer work without the premium cost of Amada or Trumpf

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What control system does the Ermak Falcon Bend 4100/175 use?

The Falcon Bend 4100/175 is equipped with the Delem DA-66T CNC controller. This is a touchscreen-based control with 2D graphical bend programming, automatic bend sequence calculation, material database with springback compensation, and tool library management. It supports offline programming via Delem's Profile-T software, allowing operators to prepare programs on a PC and transfer them to the machine.

02 What is the back gauge configuration on this machine?

The standard configuration includes a 6-axis CNC back gauge with X-axis (depth), R-axis (height), and Z1/Z2 axes (independent left/right stop positioning). This allows angled gauging for tapered parts and independent stop positioning across the 4,100 mm working length. Optional V and W axes add further flexibility for complex part geometries requiring multiple gauging references.

03 How does the Ermak Falcon Bend compare to Amada or Trumpf press brakes?

The Ermak Falcon Bend 4100/175 offers comparable core bending capability — tonnage, working length, back gauge axes, and control sophistication — at a significantly lower price point than Amada HFB or Trumpf TruBend series machines of equivalent size. The primary trade-offs are in machine build refinement, advanced automation options (like sheet followers and robotic bending cells), and the depth of dealer support network in some regions. For shops focused on productivity without automation, the value proposition is strong.
