Which Thickness Needs a 160T Press Brake?
A 160T hydraulic CNC press brake is the next step up from the 100T machine, designed for shops that regularly bend thick plate over 5mm. With 160 tons of pressure and a 3-meter bed, it bends carbon steel up to 8mm thick over the full length, and up to 12mm over shorter sections. This is the machine for structural steel fabricators, shipyards, heavy equipment builders, and companies that work with 6-10mm plate on a regular basis.
The reinforced frame and heavier hydraulic system handle the forces of thick-plate bending without deflection. The CNC controller calculates the required tonnage for each bend based on material type, thickness, and die opening, preventing overload.
What Industries Use the 160T Machine?- Structural steel fabricators bending beam brackets and base plates.
- Shipyards bending stiffeners and bulkhead plates.
- Heavy equipment manufacturers bending chassis frames and brackets.
- Truck and trailer builders bending side rails and crossmembers.
- Steel structure companies bending angle and channel.
- Press force: 160 tons
- Bending length: 3200mm
- Bed length: 3400mm
- Stroke: 125mm
- Distance between housings: 2600mm
- Backgauge axes: 3-axis (X, R, Z)

If your average job is 2-4mm sheet, the 100T machine handles it. If you regularly bend 5-8mm plate, the 160T machine is the minimum. If you bend 10mm+ plate or need 4-meter bending length, step up to 200T or 300T.
