Compare the six press brake series
Use this table to identify the most likely machine family. The final model, tonnage, working length, tooling and control configuration should always be confirmed against your actual parts and materials.
| Comparison | E-Bend | EasyBend | FlexBend | MasterBend | MegaBend | SyncBend |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Best suited to | Fast, accurate small-part production | General workshop bending and first CNC machine | Versatile everyday production | Demanding, repeatable production work | Heavy plate and high-tonnage forming | Very long or exceptionally heavy components |
| Drive approach | Electric | Hydraulic CNC | Hydraulic CNC | Higher-specification hydraulic CNC | Heavy-duty hydraulic | Synchronised heavy-duty hydraulic |
| Capacity class | Compact and lower-tonnage | Entry and general-purpose sizes | Broad workshop range | Medium to high production capacity | High and very high tonnage | Large-format, extreme length and tonnage |
| Production profile | High-speed repetitive parts | Mixed low-to-medium volume work | Mixed production and frequent changeovers | Higher-volume precision production | Specialist heavy fabrication | Large structural and specialist fabrication |
| Primary advantage | Energy efficiency and speed | Accessible CNC capability | Versatility and value | Performance and repeatability | Heavy-forming capacity | Exceptional scale |
| Control and guarding | Delem CNC control options and laser guarding are specified across the Plasquip press brake offering. Exact equipment is confirmed on the individual machine page and quotation. | |||||

CONTROLS AND MACHINE SAFETY
Delem control and comprehensive guarding as standard
Delem is widely regarded as the de facto press brake control standard in Australia. Its familiar interface, strong local industry acceptance and broad operator experience make training, recruitment and day-to-day production easier than adopting an unfamiliar proprietary control platform.
Adds a more visual 2D programming workflow and improved job preparation. A strong choice for mixed workshop production where fast setup, graphical verification and easy operation are important.
A higher-level control for demanding production environments, with advanced 2D programming, detailed graphical simulation and more comprehensive machine and process control for complex bending work.
The premium option for complex components and sophisticated production. Its 3D programming and visualisation capabilities help operators plan bending sequences, check the part and reduce setup risk before production begins.
Guarding the complete press brake working area
Safety is not limited to the front tooling zone. Plasquip press brakes are specified with a coordinated guarding package covering the normal operator position as well as side and rear access points.
Front working zone
Laser guarding protects the active bending area while supporting productive machine operation. The selected system is matched to the machine and control configuration.
Side protection
Mechanical side guards restrict access to hazardous moving areas beside the machine and form part of the standard machine guarding package.
Rear-entry protection
Rear access is protected using physical guarding together with an appropriate monitored solution, such as interlocked access and/or light curtains, according to the machine layout and site risk assessment.
The final guarding layout is confirmed for each installation and must suit the machine configuration, production method and Australian workplace requirements.
SPECIFY WITH CONFIDENCE
From series selection to the right machine
Plasquip can review your parts, materials and production goals before recommending a configuration. This reduces the risk of under-sizing the machine or paying for capability you will not use.
