How much does the Han's Laser HBS2331 cost?
Price estimate
We do not have a price for the Han's Laser HBS2331 that we can stand behind, so we show no number. Configuration, options and installation move the final price a long way: a quote is the reliable figure.
Overview
The Han's Laser HBS2331 delivers 2,300 kN over a 3,100 mm (122.0 in) bed. This is the point in the HBS press brake series where the machines become plate benders: the motor steps up to 18 kW (24.1 hp) and the closed height to 575 mm (22.6 in).
Closed height deserves attention in this class. Thick plate is bent over wide dies, wide dies are tall, and a brake without room for them cannot use its own force. The extra height over the HBS1631, which has 525 mm (20.7 in), is what lets the tooling match the tonnage.
With more power installed, the ram keeps a useful pace under load. Working speed is 12 mm/s, fast down 170 mm/s and return 170 mm/s. That is slower than the lighter machines but well ahead of the HBS2631, which draws 2,600 kN from the same 18 kW motor and is listed at 11 mm/s and 120 mm/s.
Openings follow the three-metre pattern of the series: 2,700 mm (106.3 in) between uprights and 410 mm (16.1 in) of throat depth. The tank holds 200 L. Han's Laser reinforces frame and ram and checks the frame by finite element analysis, which matters more as force rises because deflection under load turns directly into angle error along the bend.
The machine occupies 3,628 × 1,855 × 2,637 mm (142.8 × 73.0 × 103.8 in). Weight is not given, and at this force the foundation should be designed from the maker's drawing.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- 2,300 kN of press force on a 3,100 mm (122.0 in) bed
- Closed height of 575 mm (22.6 in) for taller tooling
- 18 kW (24.1 hp) motor keeps the working speed at 12 mm/s
- Frame validated by finite element analysis and stress relieved
Limitations
- Fast down speed of 170 mm/s is well under the 220 mm/s of the HBS1131
- Throat depth is no larger than on the lighter models, at 410 mm (16.1 in)
- No machine weight is published for foundation planning

Frequently Asked Questions
01
2,300 kN of press force over a maximum bending width of 3,100 mm (122.0 in), with 2,700 mm (106.3 in) between uprights, a throat depth of 410 mm (16.1 in) and a closed height of 575 mm (22.6 in).
02
Both have a 3,100 mm (122.0 in) bed and an 18 kW (24.1 hp) motor. The HBS2631 provides 2,600 kN and moves more slowly: 120 mm/s fast down, 11 mm/s working and 130 mm/s return. The HBS2331 is listed at 170 mm/s, 12 mm/s and 170 mm/s.
03
Fast down speed is 170 mm/s, working speed 12 mm/s and return speed 170 mm/s. The hydraulic system uses a 200 L oil tank.
04
The overall dimensions are 3,628 × 1,855 × 2,637 mm (142.8 × 73.0 × 103.8 in). Plate handling at this weight class normally needs a crane or sheet lifter at the front, which should be included in the layout.
