Baykal's CNC press brakes are meticulously crafted with a focus on precision, strength & safety.
They utilise advanced technologies such as CNC crowning and laser angle measurement, ensuring that each bend is consistent and accurate to the highest degree.
This level of precision is crucial in industries where the final product's integrity and functionality depend on precise hydraulic press brakes.
Baykal's hydraulic press brakes and new range of hydraulic / electric press brakes are metalworking machines that are built to last. Crafted with high-grade materials, they are designed for durability and longevity, capable of withstanding even the most rigorous use.
The range of brake press machinery represents an intelligent, long-term investment for businesses seeking to maintain high production levels and mitigate the risks of downtime and unplanned maintenance.
Baykal's hybrid and hydraulic press brake machines meet stringent EU standards synonymous with safe and efficient machinery.
Features such as light-triggered finger guards, motorised backgauges, and quick-release clamping systems contribute to a safer and compliant working environment.
CNC press brakes often require extensive setup and specialised operator expertise to fulfil complex jobs or significant production volumes, which can substantially drain resources. Such complex production needs and the persistent shortage of highly skilled operators can significantly impact and slow your operation down.
These factors can lead to production delays and increased labour costs, ultimately reducing overall business efficiency. However, Baykal's user-friendly press brakes offer user-friendly interfaces and easy-to-map automations. They are also quicker to set up than typical brake presses, helping to maintain operational efficiency and competitiveness.
Frequent breakdowns and high maintenance requirements can be a nightmare for any operation. When your sheetmetal press is constantly down, production schedules are chaotic, deadlines are missed, and costs skyrocket. The constant wear and tear on components disrupts your workflow and inflates maintenance expenses.
Baykal’s industrial press brakes are durable, packed with high-quality components, and designed for easy maintenance. This means fewer interruptions, allowing you to keep your production line moving smoothly and cost-effectively.
Key technical points:
Are you facing the challenge of inconsistent bends due to material variability? It's a common issue experienced by many fabricators when thickness and grain direction disrupt your angles, leading to perpetual manual adjustments and wasteful re-work.
That picture isn't just frustrating. It's also a major source of stress. Wasted materials and time give you stress you don't need and will severely cut into your productivity and, ultimately, profits.
However, with Baykal's advanced press brake machines, you'll get precise, accurate bends every time.

Here you'll find answers to some of the most common questions we've been asked about our range of press brakes.
Investing in a new press brake is a positive move for your business and you'll likely have a bunch of additional questions to ask. If that's you - click the button and get in contact with one of our press brake machine specialists.
Most of our press brakes are hydraulic. However, we also supply hybrid models.
Hydraulic brakepresses use hydraulic fluid to power the bending action, offering robust force and the capability for heavy-duty bending operations. They are known for their power and versatility in handling different materials and thicknesses.
On the other hand, hybrid press brakes such as the Baykal APHS Hybrid only use hydraulics during bending of materials, therefore mostly using electric servos to power the bending action, providing high precision, energy efficiency, and faster cycle times with less maintenance.
The choice between the two depends on your specific production needs, including material type, thickness, and the precision required. The next FAQ examines the APHS Hybrid model in greater detail.
Hybrid press brakes, such as the APHS Hybrid series combine the best features of hydraulic and electric press brakes, offering a blend of power, precision, and energy efficiency. The nuanced design integrates a servo-electric motor to power the hydraulic system, reducing energy consumption by only activating the hydraulics when necessary for bending.
This innovative approach provides the force and capability of traditional hydraulic press brakes such as the Baykal APHE, with the added benefits of lower energy costs - by as much as 60%, reduced maintenance, and improved control and precision. The APHS HYBRID models are particularly advantageous for operations looking to increase sustainability without compromising on bending power or quality.
Absolutely! CNC press brakes like the Baykal APHS Pro can handle complex bending operations. These machines have advanced Computer Numerical Control (CNC) systems, allowing precise and automated bending processes.
The Baykal APHS Pro, for instance, features programmable multi-axis control, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability. With bending capacities ranging from 40 to 1000 tons and lengths up to 6000mm, this model can easily handle a wide variety of complex bends.
Our range of CNC press brakes offer several advantages that make them ideal for intricate bending tasks. They provide enhanced automation, which reduces manual intervention and increases production speed while maintaining high precision. Integrating features like user-friendly touchscreens, offline programming, and advanced safety systems further simplifies complex bending operations, making these machines efficient and user-friendly.
Press brake tooling is crucial in the metal bending process, impacting bends' accuracy, quality, and efficiency. High-precision tools ensure consistent results and reduce setup adjustments. Features like segmented sections, self-retaining installation, and front-loading enhance safety and workflow efficiency.
Both Promecam and Rolleri exemplify high-quality press brake tooling. Promecam is known for its versatility and compatibility with various press brake machines, allowing quick tool changes and precise bends.
on the other hand, Rolleri offers precision-engineered tools and innovative solutions like the Rolleri Vario adjustable die system, which provides flexible and accurate bending operations. Both brands are available as standard or optional upgrades on our press brakes.
Press brakes capable of bending a wide range of materials, each with specific properties that influence the bending process. Typical materials that can be bent using a press brake include stainless steel, aluminium, and mild steel.
Baykal’s APHS Pro series, available in Australia through Performatec, is engineered to handle these materials efficiently. These press brakes feature advanced Delem CNC control systems, ensuring precise and consistent bends. The machines are designed with high-grade components and offer capabilities such as CNC crowning and laser angle measurement, which are crucial for achieving accurate bends across different material types.
The APHS Pro - hydraulic press brake series for example, supports bending lengths from 1250mm to 6100mm and forces ranging from 40 to 600 tons, accommodating a variety of thicknesses and specifications to meet diverse metalwork needs.
In addition to regular maintenance tasks like daily inspections, cleaning, and lubrication, hydraulic system maintenance is vital. This involves:
Additionally, inspecting and maintaining the dies and punches is necessary to ensure precise bending and reduce the risk of defects. Regularly checking the alignment and condition of these components can prevent uneven bending and poor product quality.
