Baileigh Horizontal Press Brake HPB-78NC is a heavy-duty industrial hydraulic press brake from Baileigh designed to handle thick material with precision and repeatability. Because material lies flat on the machined table during operation, parts stay perfectly square throughout every bend - saving time and reducing scrap on demanding production runs. The HPB-78NC is built for full industrial production environments including shipbuilding yards, boiler manufacturers, and nuclear applications, and is equally capable of handling one-off projects in manual mode.

Key Features

• Electronic encoders make this hydraulic press brake accurate to +/- .002"
• Control the bending stroke with 2 buttons or with the foot pedal, so your hands are free to guide the material. Numerical control (NC) programmer can store up to 50 programs with 10 bends per program
• You can adjust the pressure of the hydraulics for your material. You can also run the machine in a manual mode for one-off projects as well as set-up
• Robust manual back gauge bolts to the machine and helps with repeatability and product counter makes production runs more efficient
• Machined table, 37.4" high, keeps your material perfectly level. No need to hold one side and hope it's lined up!
• Quick-release tooling system makes changes fast and simple. Just turn the handle and the post will lift. The V die slides in and out
• Includes a set of single-V tooling (V-opening die and V post). Also accepts attachments for punching, straightening, shearing, and even pipe bending
• Many additional tooling sets are available. We can find the right one for your project or create a custom set, if necessary
• 4,580-pound steel frame, made from 4 powerful pieces of inch-thick flat bar, will keep results accurate for many years and won't flinch under pressure
• Industrial-grade hydraulic system is located on top of the machine to reduce flex and shelving in the front can hold tooling and items you might need on a daily basis

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the HPB-78NC during bending operations?

Electronic encoders make this hydraulic press brake accurate to +/- .002", ensuring consistent, repeatable results across every bend and every production run.

Can the machine store bending programs for repeated production runs?

Yes. The numerical control (NC) programmer can store up to 50 programs with 10 bends per program, making it straightforward to recall settings for repeat jobs and maintain consistency across high-volume runs.

How does the quick-release tooling system work?

Just turn the handle and the post will lift. The V die then slides in and out, making tooling changes fast and simple. The machine also accepts attachments for punching, straightening, shearing, and pipe bending.

Can the HPB-78NC be operated without programming it in advance?

Yes. You can run the machine in a manual mode for one-off projects as well as set-up, giving operators full flexibility whether they are running a programmed production cycle or working through a single custom part.
