HBC-BE200 Machine

Bends the HBC-BE200 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-BE200 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-BE200 Machine Applications

Every job on the HBC-BE200 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-BE200 Machine For?

The HBC-BE200 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 300 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 200 × 20 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 × 1,230 mm of floor and stands 1,450 mm tall.
• You want known names inside. Siemens HMI and PLC, Duplomatic hydraulic valves from Italy, Schneider contactors.

Industries That Use the HBC-BE200 Machine

Wherever power is distributed through copper or aluminum bars, someone has to bend them. The HBC-BE200 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-BE200 Machine Versions: ES and EH

Both versions share the same bender and the same 200 × 20 mm capacity. The difference is how the bar is positioned for each bend.

• HBC-BE200-ES: programmable length stopper. Enter the positions on the screen and the stopper moves there. Built for repeat parts and batches.
• HBC-BE200-EH: manual length stopper, set by the operator. Built for varied, one-off jobs.

Why Buy the HBC-BE200 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-BE200 machine, and these are the reasons behind it:

• One job, full force. All 300 kN and the 130 mm bender stroke serve bending, and only bending.
• Heavy sections on one machine. Bars up to 200 × 20 mm, and up to 4 m long.
• A modest power draw. One 4 kW hydraulic power pack, 4.2 kW of total motor power and pressure up to 200 bar.
• Proven components. Siemens, Schneider, Duplomatic and Autonics parts throughout.
• Ready for a connected workshop. The machine is Industry 4.0 compatible.
