Overview
The Prima Power Servoelectric 6 2510/100 is a servoelectric CNC press brake combining 2,510 mm of working length with 1,000 kN (100 tonnes) of bending force. As part of Prima Power's Servoelectric series, this machine replaces conventional hydraulic cylinders with direct-drive electric servo motors, eliminating hydraulic oil, reducing energy consumption by up to 50% compared to hydraulic equivalents, and delivering cleaner, quieter operation suited to modern production environments. The servoelectric drive system also provides instant response to CNC commands, enabling faster cycle times and highly repeatable positioning.
The Servoelectric 6 designation refers to the sixth-generation servo press brake platform, which Prima Power refined over two decades of development into a mature, reliable product. The direct-drive architecture removes the hydraulic pump, valves, and oil circuit — reducing maintenance touchpoints and eliminating the risk of oil leaks on sensitive production floors. The machine's energy regeneration system recovers power during the return stroke, further improving energy efficiency in continuous production.
Prima Power equips the Servoelectric 6 2510/100 with their proprietary B-Sage3D control system, which provides 3D part simulation, automatic bend sequence optimisation, and integration with Prima Power's CAD/CAM suite. The 6-axis back gauge is driven by servo motors for rapid, accurate positioning, and the system supports offline programming via Prima Power's software ecosystem. Tool setup is simplified through a graphical tool library integrated into the control.
The Servoelectric 6 2510/100 is particularly valued by manufacturers in electronics, food processing, medical equipment, and other sectors where hydraulic fluid contamination risk is unacceptable. Its combination of precision, speed, energy efficiency, and clean operation makes it a forward-looking choice for modern sheet metal fabrication facilities investing in sustainable, low-maintenance production equipment.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Servoelectric drive eliminates hydraulic oil for clean, contamination-free operation
- Up to 50% energy savings versus hydraulic press brakes of equivalent capacity
- Instant servo response enables faster cycle times and highly repeatable positioning
- Lower maintenance burden with no hydraulic pump, valves, or oil to service
Limitations
- Higher initial purchase price than comparable hydraulic machines
- Maximum bending force limited by servo motor technology — less suited to heavy plate
- Servo drive components require specialist servicing if motor or drive failures occur

Frequently Asked Questions
01
Servoelectric drives can achieve faster approach and return speeds than conventional hydraulic systems because they respond instantly to control commands without the lag of valve actuation. The Servoelectric 6's direct drive also allows variable speed profiles optimised for each bend, approaching quickly and slowing precisely at the bending point for accuracy, then returning at maximum speed.
02
Yes. The 100-tonne capacity is well matched to stainless steel up to approximately 4–5 mm and aluminium up to 6–8 mm at 2,510 mm working length, covering the majority of sheet metal gauges used in precision fabrication. The servo drive's precise control also reduces surface marking on soft materials like polished aluminium and stainless.
03
The B-Sage3D control integrates with Prima Power's offline programming software, allowing bend programs to be created and simulated on a PC workstation and transferred to the machine via network. The software supports import of STEP and DXF files and can automatically generate bend sequences, minimising programming time for new parts.
