HBC-BE160 Machine
Heavy bends, exactly where the drawing says. The HBC-BE160 busbar machine bends copper & aluminum busbars up to 160 × 15 mm and 4 m long, with 250 kN of force behind every bend. The length stopper, programmable on the ES and manual on the EH, puts each bend in the right place.

HBC-BE160 Machine: Every Bend Where It Belongs
Cutting and punching get the attention. Bending is where a busbar finally becomes a part, and in a workshop with a long list of bends, it is where the orders pile up. The HBC-BE160 is built to clear that pile: a dedicated busbar bender in the PAYAPRESS busbar bending machine range, putting 250 kN behind every bend on bars up to 160 mm wide and 15 mm thick.
What Is the HBC-BE160 Machine?
The HBC-BE160 machine is a dedicated busbar bending machine for copper and aluminum bars, built on a base-mounted frame. It takes bars from 15 to 160 mm wide and 3 to 15 mm thick, up to 4 m long, and bends them with 250 kN of force. One 2.2 kW hydraulic power pack drives the bender, with a cylinder stroke of 108 mm and pressure up to 230 bar. It comes in two versions: the HBC-BE160-ES with a programmable length stopper, and the HBC-BE160-EH with a manual one.
Bends the HBC-BE160 Machine Can Make
A busbar rarely runs in a straight line. It hops over a neighbor, turns a corner or twists to meet a terminal facing the wrong way. The HBC-BE160 machine shapes all of these at its bending station:
- Flat bends: the everyday L-shape, with the angle set on the bender’s screen.
- Step (Z-shape) bends: two close bends in a single stroke, to pass one bar over another.
- Edge bends: the bar turns on its narrow side, to change direction without leaving its plane.
- Twist bends: the bar rotates along its length, to meet a terminal that faces the other way.
- End bends: a short leg right at the end of the bar.
Flat bending is standard. The other shapes use optional molds, built to order, and the catalog shows each one.
HBC-BE160 Machine Applications
Every job on the HBC-BE160 machine starts with a straight bar and ends with a shaped part that is ready to bolt in:
- Main and distribution bars for low-voltage and medium-voltage switchgear
- Connection bars between circuit breakers, contactors and terminals
- Transformer and generator connection bars
- Earthing and neutral bars
- Busbar sets for busway and power distribution units
Who Is the HBC-BE160 Machine For?
The HBC-BE160 machine pays off when bending is the bulk of your busbar work, and the bars are on the wide, thick side. It fits best if you recognize your workshop here:
- Your bending list never gets short. A machine that only bends keeps every bar moving, with the same 250 kN behind each one.
- The same bends keep coming back. On the ES version, the length stopper goes to each stored position by itself, at up to 2 m/min, so repeat parts stay repeat parts.
- Your bars are wide and thick. Sections up to 160 × 15 mm are bent on one machine.
- Cutting and punching happen elsewhere. You want a bender that does one job and does it all day.
- Floor space counts. The machine needs 2,460 × 1,100 mm of floor, stands 1,350 mm tall and weighs 610 kg.
- You want known names inside. Siemens HMI and PLC, Duplomatic hydraulic valves from Italy, Schneider contactors.
Industries That Use the HBC-BE160 Machine
Wherever power is distributed through copper or aluminum bars, someone has to bend them. The HBC-BE160 machine works in:
- Electrical panel and switchgear manufacturing
- Transformer manufacturing
- Busway and busduct production
- Power plants, substations and utility contracting
- Renewable energy and battery storage projects
- Data center and industrial power installations
HBC-BE160 Machine Versions: ES and EH
Both versions share the same bender and the same 160 × 15 mm capacity. The difference is how the bar is positioned for each bend.
- HBC-BE160-ES: programmable length stopper. Enter the positions on the screen and the stopper moves there. Built for repeat parts and batches.
- HBC-BE160-EH: manual length stopper, set by the operator. Built for varied, one-off jobs.
Why Buy the HBC-BE160 Machine?
A workshop with a heavy bending load earns on bars that leave finished, not on a bender trying to do everything. That is the case for the HBC-BE160 machine, and these are the reasons behind it:
- One job, full force. All 250 kN and the 108 mm bender stroke serve bending, and only bending.
- Heavy sections on one machine. Bars up to 160 × 15 mm, and up to 4 m long.
- A modest power draw. One 2.2 kW hydraulic power pack, 3 kW of total motor power and pressure up to 230 bar.
- Proven components. Siemens, Schneider, Duplomatic and Autonics parts throughout.
- Ready for a connected workshop. The machine is Industry 4.0 compatible.

Frequently Asked Question
Straight answers on the HBC-BE160
Which PAYAPRESS model should I choose: the HBC-BE160 or the A160?
Both take bars up to 160 × 15 mm and bend with 250 kN. The HBC-A160 also cuts and punches, with three 2.2 kW power packs. The HBC-BE160 only bends, on a single 2.2 kW power pack. Choose it when bending is the bulk of your work.
Â
What is the largest busbar the PAYAPRESS HBC-BE160 can bend?
Bars up to 160 mm wide and 15 mm thick, and up to 4 m long, with 250 kN of bending force. The full range is 15 to 160 mm in width and 3 to 15 mm in thickness.
Â
Should I choose the ES or the EH version of the PAYAPRESS HBC-BE160?
Both bend the same bars with the same force. The ES has a programmable length stopper that moves at up to 2 m/min, which suits repeat parts. The EH has a manual stopper set by hand, which suits varied, one-off jobs.
What power supply and floor space does the PAYAPRESS HBC-BE160 need?
It runs on 380 V AC at 50 Hz, with 3 kW of total motor power and hydraulic pressure up to 230 bar. It needs 2,460 × 1,100 mm of floor, stands 1,350 mm tall and weighs 610 kg.
