Overview
The Ermak HYB Speed 3100/125 is a hybrid servo-hydraulic CNC press brake that combines the force capacity of a hydraulic machine with the speed and energy efficiency of servo-electric drives. Rated at 125 tonnes of bending force over a 3,100 mm working length, it is positioned as Ermak's high-productivity mid-range offering, targeting fabricators who run high parts volumes and need faster cycle times than conventional hydraulic press brakes can deliver. The HYB Speed platform uses servo-driven hydraulic pumps that only operate on demand, reducing idle power consumption by up to 60% compared to conventional hydraulic machines.
The hybrid drive system enables approach and return speeds significantly faster than standard hydraulic press brakes — approach speed up to 200 mm/s and return speed up to 170 mm/s — while maintaining precise ram control during the bending stroke. This speed advantage directly translates to higher parts-per-hour output on short-flange bending operations where rapid ram movement between bends is the cycle time bottleneck. The standard control is the Delem DA-69T, a 21-inch touchscreen controller with 3D visualization, network connectivity for offline programming, and adaptive bending with optional laser angle measurement feedback.
The 3,100 mm working length covers the vast majority of industrial sheet metal fabrication work, from enclosures and cabinets to brackets, frames, and panels. The 6-axis CNC back gauge (X, R, Z1, Z2, and optionally V, W) positions parts accurately for complex bend sequences, and the integrated crowning table corrects for beam deflection across the working length. Tooling compatibility follows the European Promecam/Wila standard, giving users access to the widest range of segmented tooling available on the market.
The Ermak HYB Speed 3100/125 competes directly with the Bystronic Xpert Pro, Durma AD-R Hybrid, and Amada HG series hybrid press brakes. While those machines command premium prices, the Ermak HYB Speed delivers comparable hybrid performance at a lower acquisition cost, making it an attractive option for shops upgrading from conventional hydraulic press brakes or entering the hybrid segment for the first time. Expected pricing ranges from $110,000 to $165,000 based on control options and back gauge configuration.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Hybrid servo-hydraulic drive reduces energy consumption up to 60% versus conventional hydraulic press brakes — significant operational cost savings in high-volume production
- Faster approach (200 mm/s) and return (170 mm/s) speeds increase parts-per-hour output on short-flange and high-volume bending operations
- Delem DA-69T 21-inch touchscreen control with 3D bend simulation and network connectivity enables faster setup and seamless offline programming integration
- Promecam/Wila-compatible tooling standard gives access to the widest range of segmented press brake tooling available globally
- Lower acquisition cost than comparable hybrid press brakes from Bystronic or Amada while delivering equivalent energy efficiency and speed performance
Limitations
- Hybrid servo-hydraulic system is more mechanically complex than pure servo-electric designs, with hydraulic components still requiring fluid maintenance and seal upkeep
- 125 tonnes of force limits material thickness capacity on high-strength steel and stainless — heavy-gauge structural work may require a higher-tonnage machine
- Regional dealer network for Ermak in North America is less extensive than for Amada, Trumpf, or Bystronic, which can affect response times for service and support

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The HYB Speed uses a servo-driven hydraulic pump system instead of a continuously running fixed-displacement pump. The servo motor only runs when the ram is moving, and ramps to full speed for approach and return while controlling precisely during the bending stroke. This reduces power consumption by up to 60% at idle and during low-demand cycles, and allows much faster approach and return speeds — up to 200 mm/s and 170 mm/s respectively — compared to 100-120 mm/s typical of conventional hydraulic machines.
02
Yes. The HYB Speed 3100/125 uses the European Promecam-standard tooling interface, which is compatible with tooling from Wila, Wilson Tool, Mate Precision, and most other major press brake tooling manufacturers. This is the most widely used tooling standard globally, giving shops access to a comprehensive range of punches, dies, and specialty tooling for hemming, seaming, box bending, and other operations.
03
Both machines use hybrid servo-hydraulic drive systems and high-capability CNC controls. The Bystronic Xpert Pro offers more advanced automation options, more refined build quality, and a more extensive European and North American dealer network. The Ermak HYB Speed offers comparable hybrid performance — speed, energy efficiency, back gauge capability — at a substantially lower acquisition price, typically 25-40% less. For shops that don't need Bystronic's advanced automation options, the Ermak offers strong value.
