Understanding Hydraulic & CNC Press Brakes
Hydraulic and CNC press brakes are used across industries including automotive, aerospace, agriculture, construction, and electronics. A hydraulic press brake bends sheet metal by lowering a punch onto a die with hydraulic precision. CNC models add programmable control for faster setup and repeatable accuracy. Electric and hybrid brakes use servo drives for energy efficiency, lower maintenance, and ultra-quiet operation.
Press Brake Capacities & Cost
We stock press brakes ranging from 15 to 1,500 tons and beyond. Pricing varies based on age, press type, capacity, speed, and control options — from small shop machines around $10,000 to large custom systems worth several million dollars. Our experts can help determine the correct tonnage, bed length, and accuracy level for your application.

How to Choose the Right Press Brake for Your Shop
Buying a press brake is a major investment — whether you’re adding capacity, modernizing, or starting a new fabrication line. At Sterling Machinery Exchange, we help you choose the right press brake size, type, and control system for your exact production needs. Here’s what to consider before you buy:
1. Determine Material Type and Thickness
The material you bend — and its maximum thickness — will determine the tonnage and bed length you need. For example, bending mild steel requires less tonnage than stainless or high-tensile alloys. Our experts can calculate the proper press brake capacity for your materials to ensure accurate and safe operation.
2. Choose the Right Press Brake Type
• Hydraulic Press Brakes – Reliable and affordable, great control for general fabrication.
• CNC Press Brakes – Programmable precision for repeat jobs and complex parts.
• Electric & Hybrid Press Brakes – Servo-driven accuracy, faster cycles, and up to 60% energy savings.
• Mechanical Press Brakes – Simple design, fast operation, great for lighter gauge work.
3. Consider Bed Length and Throat Depth
Bed length determines the maximum part width you can bend, while throat depth affects how deep parts can be formed. Common sizes range from 4' to 14' beds, but we offer larger custom solutions up to 1,500-ton systems for heavy plate work.
4. Evaluate Controls and Automation
Today’s CNC controllers simplify setup, increase repeatability, and reduce operator error. Ask about multi-axis backgauges, crowning systems, and offline programming to boost productivity. Our team can guide you on choosing between Accurite, Delem, or Cincinnati CNC controls depending on your shop’s workflow.
5. Plan for Tooling and Accessories
Press brake tooling determines your bending precision and flexibility. We supply new and used tooling including punches, dies, and special-form tools, along with press brake consulting to match tooling to your specific job requirements.
6. Inspect or Test Before Buying
All used press brakes at Sterling are tested in our 50,000-square-foot facility by expert mechanics and come with a Certified Guarantee. We invite you to inspect, test, and train on the machine before purchase to ensure full confidence in your investment.
