Two press brake platforms — hydraulic for single-machine high tonnage and heavy plate, and servo electric tandem pairs for synchronized bending of long, heavy parts beyond single-machine capacity.
1 / 3Hydraulic Series
26 hydraulic press brake configurations from 63 to 1,600 tons, with nominal bed lengths from 8 to 26 ft. Dual-cylinder electrohydraulic synchronization, dual-motor drive on heavy frames (800 tons and above), and hydraulic auto-crowning compensate for ram deflection in real time.
Best for
- Tonnage from 63 to 1,600 tons
- Nominal bed lengths from 8 to 26 ft
- Throat depth up to 24 in
- Heavy plate and structural fabrication

Available Upgrades
Automatic Crowning Compensation
When pressing long parts, both the bed and ram flex under load, causing the center of the bend to angle differently than the ends. VTM press brakes include a hydraulic crowning system that pre-compensates the bed — raising it slightly at the center — so the bend angle stays consistent from end to end.

DA-53T
Best for shops that need a proven, fast DELEM interface on embedded Linux. Handles standard and complex bending with full auto-calculations, bumping, and CNC crowning.
DA-69S
Best for high-mix production, 3D part simulation, DXF-to-bend workflows, and shops that need sequence optimization and remote diagnostics.
4+1 to 8+1 Axis Back Gauge — Complex Parts, Simple Setup
X, R, Z1, and Z2 axes on the back gauge allow independent positioning of each finger — critical for flanges at multiple depths, offset bends, and parts that taper. Every back gauge position is stored in the part program and recalled automatically when you run the same job again.

Build Your Machine
Tonnage
- 40 tons — light-gauge sheet up to 8 ft
- 80 tons — general fabrication
- 110 tons — structural profiles up to 10 ft
- 160 tons — heavy plate up to 3/4 in
- 220 tons — stainless and thick aluminum
- 400 tons — heavy structural fabrication
Tonnage selection depends on your thickest material, widest bend, and material tensile strength. VTM engineers will size correctly for your work.
Bending Length
- 8 ft nominal (98 in exact)
- 10 ft nominal (118 in exact)
- 13 ft nominal (157 in exact)
- 16 ft nominal (197 in exact)
- 20 ft nominal (236 in exact)
Match to your longest standard sheet or profile. Longer beds require proportionally higher tonnage to maintain accuracy.
Tooling Package
- Standard European-style tooling set
- Amada-compatible tooling
- Auto tool change system (hydraulic)
- Wila precision tooling upgrade
Wila precision tooling offers clamping accuracy to ±0.001 in — recommended for tight-tolerance aerospace and medical work.
All configurations available to order. Contact your VTM sales engineer for pricing and lead time on your specific build.

Frequently Asked
VTM press brakes ship configured for standard European-style (Wila/Wilson) tooling, which is compatible with the majority of aftermarket tooling available in the US. Amada-style tool holders are available as a configuration option. If you have existing tooling you want to keep using, share the tooling profile with your VTM sales engineer before ordering — we'll confirm compatibility or recommend an adapter.
The graphic CNC controller uses a touchscreen interface with 3D part visualization. Most operators reach full programming proficiency within 2–3 days of training. DXF files from your CAD system can be imported directly — the controller auto-generates the bend sequence and calculates tonnage. VTM includes 2 days of on-site programming training with every machine.
Tonnage is determined by material type, thickness, tensile strength, and bend length. As a rough guideline for mild steel: 1" material over a 10-foot bend requires approximately 150 tons. Your VTM sales engineer will calculate the required tonnage for your specific jobs before recommending a machine. It is better to have more tonnage than you need — running a 110-ton machine at 40% capacity is more accurate and extends machine life compared to running at 95%.
Standard lead time is 10–14 weeks from confirmed order. VTM's installation team handles rigging coordination, precision leveling to about 0.001 in/ft, hydraulic and electrical commissioning, and first-article verification bends. Installation typically takes 1–2 days depending on machine size. Operator and programming training follows immediately after commissioning.
The auto tool change system must be specified at time of order — it requires specific hydraulic provisions and ram geometry that cannot be retrofitted after manufacture. If there's any possibility you'll want it in the future, we recommend specifying it upfront. The productivity gain on high-mix production makes it one of the highest-ROI options available.
