DESCRIPTION:
Is a press brake expensive to run?
Hydraulic vs servo electric explained.
A clear look at energy consumption and power costs.
VIDEO SCRIPT:
When choosing a press brake,
many people worry about one thing first:
power consumption.
In reality, energy use depends on three factors:
the drive system, the workload, and how the machine is used.
Hydraulic press brakes consume power mainly during bending cycles.
Servo electric press brakes deliver power only when needed.
In most workshops,
a press brake is not the biggest power consumer.
Idle time and production planning
often matter more than the machine itself.
Choose wisely, use efficiently,
and power costs stay under control.
