Baileigh HPB-45
The Baileigh HPB-45 is a powerful 40-ton horizontal hydraulic press brake that transforms how you handle smaller metal fabrication jobs. With its unique horizontal design and advanced NC controller, this machine makes bending, punching, and shearing more accurate and efficient than ever before.
Imagine never having to struggle with keeping material level during a bend again. That's exactly what the HPB-45 delivers. Unlike traditional vertical press brakes, this horizontal design lets your material rest flat on a perfectly machined table while you work. This means no more holding one side and hoping it stays aligned, no more uneven bends, and no more wasted material.
The HPB-45 packs serious power into a compact footprint. Its 5 horsepower motor generates an impressive 40 metric tons of pressure, giving you the muscle to handle demanding jobs while taking up minimal floor space in your shop. Whether you're running a small fabrication business, a prototyping shop, or handling specialized production runs, this machine adapts to your needs.
What really sets the HPB-45 apart is how easy it is to use. The intuitive NC touchscreen controller can store up to 99 different programs with 10 bends each. This means you can save your most common jobs and recall them instantly. Need to switch to manual mode for one-off projects? No problem. The machine gives you that flexibility too. Operating the machine is simple: use the two button controls or the foot pedal to control the bending stroke, keeping your hands free to guide your material exactly where you need it.
Applications
- Custom Bracket Fabrication: Create mounting brackets, support brackets, and structural brackets with perfect 90-degree bends and tight tolerances.
- Flange Production: Form flanges for piping systems, ductwork, and structural applications where precision and repeatability matter.
- Small Panel Bending: Bend control panels, enclosures, and housings where material needs to stay perfectly square.
- Punching Operations: With the right tooling, punch holes, notches, and cutouts in your workpieces without moving to another machine.
- Shearing Tasks: Make clean, straight cuts through metal stock when equipped with appropriate shearing attachments.
- Straightening Work: Correct warped or bent metal components, bringing them back to true.
Key Features & Benefits
- Horizontal Design Advantage: Your material lies flat during bending, which means it stays perfectly level and square without any manual support. This eliminates alignment guesswork and reduces scrap.
- Industrial Hydraulic Power: The top-mounted hydraulic system generates 40 tons of force while reducing frame flex. You get consistent, powerful bends without the machine fighting against itself. Plus, you can adjust the hydraulic pressure to match your material perfectly.
- Smart NC Controller: Store up to 99 complete programs with 10 bends each. When that repeat customer calls with another order, simply recall the program and start producing. The electronic encoders ensure accuracy within +/- 0.002 inches, bend after bend.
- Hands-Free Operation: Control everything with the foot pedal, leaving both hands free to position and support your material. This is safer and lets you work more accurately.
- Quick-Change Tooling System: Just turn a handle, lift the post, and slide the die in or out. Switching between jobs takes minutes, not hours. The system accepts attachments for punching, straightening, shearing, and even pipe bending.
- Production Counter: Track how many parts you've produced during a run. This makes quality control easier and helps you maintain consistent output.
- Manual and Automatic Modes: Need to dial in a new setup or handle a prototype? Switch to manual mode. Running production? Let the NC controller handle the repetitive work.
- Robust Steel Frame: Built from 2,266 pounds of heavy-duty steel with four pieces of inch-thick flat bar. This machine will deliver accurate results for years without flexing under pressure.

Frequently Asked Questions
How difficult is it to learn to operate the HPB45?
It's surprisingly easy. The machine is designed with simplicity in mind. Most operators can learn the basics in about 15 minutes. The touchscreen NC controller uses intuitive menus, and switching between automatic and manual modes is straightforward. Your purchase includes lifetime technical support from experienced service representatives who can walk you through any questions.
Can this machine handle stainless steel and aluminum?
Absolutely. The adjustable hydraulic pressure lets you dial in the perfect force for different materials. Whether you're working with mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, or other metals, you can adjust the pressure to match the material's properties and avoid overworking it.
What's the difference between a horizontal and vertical press brake?
The main difference is where your material sits during bending. With a horizontal press brake like the HPB-45, material lies flat on the table, which keeps it perfectly level and square automatically. With a vertical press brake, you're working against gravity and often need to support the material manually, especially on smaller parts. The horizontal design is particularly advantageous for making flanges, brackets, and other smaller parts that need to stay perfectly square.
Do I need special electrical service for this machine?
The EU model requires 400V three-phase power, which is standard in most industrial facilities. If you're unsure about your facility's power capabilities, consult with a qualified electrician before ordering. The machine's power requirements are clearly listed in the specifications to help you plan your installation.
What kind of maintenance does the HPB45 require?
The HPB-45 is built for reliability with minimal maintenance needs. Regular maintenance includes checking hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting hydraulic lines for leaks, keeping the table clean, and lubricating moving parts according to the maintenance schedule in your operator's manual. The industrial-grade hydraulic system is designed for long service life. With proper care, this machine will provide years of dependable performance.
