Yes. PAYAPRESS can customize the machine with optional accessories including Step Mold, Edge Bending Mold, Twist Mold, and End-Bending Mold. Special custom molds can also be manufactured to your drawings and specifications. Other configuration options such as specific electrical supply requirements can be discussed with the PAYAPRESS technical team prior to ordering.

What is the minimum order quantity for the HBC-BE160-ES?

The minimum order quantity is one unit. PAYAPRESS serves end users, distributors, and wholesalers equally. Whether you are purchasing a single machine for your own production facility or sourcing multiple units for resale or regional distribution, the PAYAPRESS team can accommodate your requirements.

Are the machine labels, controls, and manual available in English?

Yes. All labels on the machine, the control panel interface, and the technical manual are provided in English as standard. If you require documentation in another language, please discuss this with the PAYAPRESS sales team at the time of ordering.

What is the difference between the HBC-BE160-ES and the HBC-BE120-ES?

The primary difference is bending capacity. The HBC-BE120-ES handles copper and aluminum busbars up to 120×12 mm, making it suitable for standard LV panel applications. The HBC-BE160-ES handles busbars up to 160×15 mm, covering heavier cross-sections used in MV switchgear and high-current distribution panels. The HBC-BE160-ES also uses a 2.2 kW motor compared to the 1.5 kW motor on the BE120, providing the higher hydraulic force required for larger busbar profiles. Both models feature the programmable length stopper and encoder-controlled bending.

What Is the HBC-BE160?

The HBC-BE160 is a dedicated copper Busbar Bending Machine that shapes copper and aluminum busbar up to 160 × 15 mm. It handles forming only — there is no cutting or punching station — so the whole machine is built around one job. Compact and single-operator, it comes in manual and automatic versions for busbar forming at any volume.

Powerful Hydraulic Forming for Copper

The HBC-BE160’s 230-bar hydraulic system delivers the force for busbar machine work on thick copper and aluminum — up to 160 × 15 mm, with a 14 mm radius on the standard mobile mold. Because the design is single-purpose, all that force goes into one job: accurate, clean copper busbar forming without surface cracking.

Manual and Automatic Models

The HBC-BE160 comes two ways. For manual busbar forming, the EH model uses a handy length stopper — the simplest, lowest-cost setup. For automatic busbar forming, the ES model adds a programmable length stopper that stores and repeats angle positions for hands-off, consistent production. Both are Industry 4.0 ready.

INTRODUCTION

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Built for One Job: Precision Busbar Forming in HBC-BE160

The HBC-BE160 is built around a single purpose: forming copper and aluminum bus bars up to 160 × 15 mm, cleanly and consistently, without sharing its hydraulics with a cutting or punching station. That focus means every bit of its 230 bar operating pressure is dedicated to the bend itself, delivering a standard mobile-mold forming radius of 14 mm with repeatable accuracy shot after shot. A 2.5 kW motor running on 380 VAC three-phase, 50 Hz power drives the system, backed by a hydraulic circuit holding 30 L of oil — enough for steady, low-maintenance operation shift after shift. At 610 kg on a solid floor-mounted base, it needs just one operator and is Industry 4.0 ready, so it drops straight into a connected panel-building line without extra floor space or staffing overhead.

Room to Work: A Footprint Built for the Operator

Beyond the forming head itself, the HBC-BE160’s base is laid out with the operator in mind: a clear, open working area around the mold station gives the person feeding and positioning bus bars enough room to handle longer lengths without fighting the machine’s own frame or nearby equipment. With a footprint of 130 × 110 × 100 cm (L×W×H), there’s real breathing space to stage, rotate, and reposition bars for the next bend without awkward reaches or stepping around the base — especially useful when a workshop is running batches back-to-back. Combined with its floor-mounted, single-station footprint, the machine sits comfortably inside a panel-building line without crowding the operator’s workflow or slowing down the pace of production.

Every Bend Your Panel Needs, All from the HBC-BE160

One forming head, five bend types — the HBC-BE160 covers the full range a panel builder actually needs, without switching machines or molds for every shape:

Twist bend

FAQ's

Frequently asked questions

Is the HBC-BE160 available with customer support in the US?

Yes. PAYAPRESS provides sales and after-sales support for the HBC-BE160, including US-based assistance through its representatives and remote support, plus spare parts and operator guidance.

How much does the HBC-BE160 cost?

Pricing for the HBC-BE160 depends on the model — manual (EH) or automatic (ES) — and configuration. Request a quote from PAYAPRESS for current pricing and lead time.

Is the HBC-BE160 suitable for industrial use?

Yes — the HBC-BE160 is built for daily industrial forming of copper and aluminum busbar up to 160 × 15 mm at 230 bar, with a single-operator workflow and Industry 4.0 readiness.

Does the HBC-BE160 cut or punch bus bars?

No — the HBC-BE160 is dedicated to forming only. For cutting and punching, see the HBC-CP series; for cutting, punching, and bending in one machine, see the HBC-A160.

How many molds does this device have?

5 optional molds are available for this device but special molds can be made by the customer’s order.

What's the difference between the manual and automatic HBC-BE160?

The HBC-BE160’s manual model (EH) uses a handy length stopper for the lowest cost; the automatic model (ES) adds a programmable stopper for repeatable, hands-off angle positioning.
