Capacity: 135 ton · Bending length: 3200 mm (126") · Axes: 4+1 (Y1/Y2, X, R + CNC crowning) · Controller: Cybelec CT12 · Tooling: Promecam quick-change
Overview & positioning
The HBC 135/3200 is designed as a “sweet spot” machine for US fabricators: strong enough to handle structural and heavy-gauge work, yet precise and responsive enough for tight-tolerance panel and enclosure production. With 135 tons of forming capacity and a 3200 mm bed, it covers a wide portion of the jobs typically processed in contract manufacturing, OEM, and general fabrication plants.
Its 4+1 axis configuration (Y1/Y2, X, R plus CNC crowning) provides independent ram control, accurate backgauge positioning, and automatic deflection compensation. The Cybelec CT12 touchscreen control with graphical programming and job libraries makes it easy to standardize and recall proven bend sequences, supporting both high-mix, low-volume work and recurring production orders.
The result is a long-bed press brake that fits naturally into laser–press brake–weld cells, enabling one-pass forming of long cabinets, frames, doors, and structural members while maintaining repeatable quality and short setup times.

Implementation, integration, ROI & support
Implementation begins with a pre-install review of power, floor conditions, layout, and safety requirements. With proper site preparation and rigging support, most shops move from arrival to first qualified parts in a matter of days, including leveling, commissioning, and initial training.
Training covers Cybelec CT12 operation, program creation, job recall, safe setup, and basic maintenance. Example part programs and bend sequences help operators and programmers ramp up quickly and confidently.
Typical ROI drivers include reduced setup times, fewer trial parts, improved angle consistency on long parts, and the ability to keep more work in-house—especially long panels and frames that are costly to outsource. Servo-hydraulic efficiency further contributes to lower operating costs over time.
Ongoing support includes remote technical assistance, access to regional service technicians, and stocked spare parts to minimize downtime. Preventive maintenance programs with scheduled inspections can be added to sustain performance and availability.
