Hi All,

Thanks in advance for any advise give.

I am looking to change our press brake to a new one... and considering Amada and Bystronic. We have a 100t 3m Amada HFT already and are very happy with it and Amada give a great service. We have a Bystronic Laser which is great, but don't like Bystronics service contracts (so no longer with them).

I know what Amada are like but what are Bystronic Press Brakes like? Are they reliable? How have you found their support during break downs etc? Were considering their Xpert Fast bend machine with Hydraulic clamping.

Any advice is appreciated.

Best regards,
