Accurpress Press Brakes: North American-Built Bending Solutions from 25 to 3,000+ Tons
At Capital Machine Technologies, we work with fabrication shops that need reliable bending equipment capable of handling a wide range of production demands. That is why we offer the Accurpress press brake, a proven solution built for durability, accuracy, and long-term performance. These machines support applications ranging from light-gauge sheet metal work to heavy plate forming.
Accurpress has manufactured press brakes in North America since 1973. During that time, more than 21,000 machines have been installed across thousands of fabrication facilities. This history reflects a strong understanding of what fabricators require from their equipment.
The Accurpress lineup spans from 25 tons to more than 3,000 tons of bending capacity. This range allows fabricators to handle both precision components and heavy structural work using equipment built for industrial production. Many shops rely on these machines for applications such as structural fabrication, oil and gas components, shipbuilding parts, and other demanding plate forming jobs.
Each machine is built around a rigid frame design with precision machined components. This construction helps maintain alignment and repeatable bending accuracy through years of production use. Fabrication shops depend on stable equipment, and this design philosophy contributes to the long service-life associated with Accurpress machines.
As an authorized Accurpress dealer serving 22 states throughout the South, Southeast, Northeast, and Midwest, we support manufacturers who want to evaluate machines before investing in new equipment. Showroom systems are available under power at our technology centers in Tampa, Atlanta, Dallas, Harrisburg, and Indianapolis. These facilities allow fabricators to see machines operating and review different configurations in person.
In addition to the Accurpress press brake line for general fabrication work, we also provide access to servo-hydraulic models within the Accurpress lineup. This allows shops to evaluate multiple machine types before selecting the configuration that best fits their production requirements.
Accurpress Product Lineup
Accurpress offers five distinct press brake platforms, each designed to match different production needs, complexity levels, and performance expectations.
Advantage Series – Proven Hydraulic Performance
The Advantage Series is a traditional hydraulic press brake built around Accurpres's proven rocker arm design. These machines are known for their durability, simplicity, and long-term reliability in everyday fabrication environments.
- Traditional hydraulic drive system
- Rugged, time-tested rocker design
- Ideal for general fabrication and repeatable production work
- Available in a wide range of tonnages
This is a dependable solution for shops that want straightforward performance and proven results.
Accell E – The Competitive Edge
The Accell E is a modern Y1/Y2 hydraulic press brake that delivers a strong balance of performance, features, and value. It's designed to be a complete package for shops looking to step into CNC forming.
- Advanced proportional hydraulic technology for precision bending
- Vision control for easy programming and operation
- Wide range of features and options
- Available from 75 to 500 tons
The Accell E is often the first choice for shops upgrading from basic hydraulic machines to more capable CNC systems.
Accell U – Upgrade Package for Flexibility and Performance
The Accell U builds on the Accell E platform by adding enhanced performance, flexibility, and advanced forming capabilities. It's designed for shops handling more complex parts or higher production demands.
- Increased stroke length and throat depth for added flexibility
- Two-speed bending for improved productivity
- Advanced material compensation and crowning features
- Enhanced guiding system for stability under load
- Available from 90 to 550 tons
This model is ideal for shops that need more capability without stepping into a completely different machine platform.
Accell HT – High Tonnage Performance
The Accell HT is engineered for heavy plate forming and high-tonnage applications where strength, durability, and customization are critical. These machines are built to handle the largest and most demanding jobs in fabrication environments.
- Designed for high-tonnage applications from 650 up to 3000 tons
- Rugged construction with oversized components for long-term durability
- Flexible configurations with extended stroke lengths and open heights
- Advanced Y1/Y2 proportional hydraulic technology for precision under load
- Custom-built options available for specialized forming requirements
The Accell HT is the solution for shops bending large plates, structural components, or tackling projects where standard machines simply aren't enough.
Accell H – Hybrid Technology
The Accell H represents Accurpres's hybrid technology, combining servo-driven motion with hydraulic force to deliver high performance and improved efficiency.
- Hybrid servo-electric hydraulic system
- Reduced energy consumption and lower noise levels
- Advanced motion control for precision forming
- Capable of handling complex parts and demanding applications
- Available from 60 to 500 tons
The Accell H is built for shops focused on productivity, efficiency, and precision in more advanced manufacturing environments.
What You Get Beyond the Machine: Full-Service Accurpress Support
Purchasing a press brake involves more than selecting a machine. The equipment must match the production environment and be installed correctly to perform as expected.
Our process begins by reviewing our customers' actual production requirements. We evaluate the materials being formed, part sizes, bend complexity, and expected production volume. This information helps determine which Accurpress press brakes will deliver the best performance for the application.
Once a machine is selected, installation supervision becomes the next step. The press brake must be properly leveled, calibrated, and verified to factory specifications before production begins. Our technicians confirm alignment and system settings so operators can begin running parts without early setup problems.
Service support continues after installation. Our team includes 44 factory-trained field engineers working across a 22-state territory. These technicians focus on keeping machines operating and minimizing downtime for customers.
To support fast repairs, our service trucks s operate under the First Call Fix program. Each vehicle carries common Accurpress parts and components so that our engineers can resolve most issues during the first visit. This approach helps reduce delays that could interrupt production schedules.
Preventive maintenance also plays an important role in protecting a press brake investment. Many Accurpress machines remain in operation for 300 to 40 years or longer. Through our routine inspections, we help maintain hydraulic performance, verify machine calibration, and identify wear components before they affect production.
Backed by more than four decades of press brake experience, we support fabrication shops throughout the South, Southeast, Northeast and Midwest with equipment expertise. By combining reliable machines with dedicated service support, we help manufacturers invest in bending equipment built for long-term production.
