HDS 1703NT is an 187 ton, down acting, electric/hydraulic press brake with a bed length of 10 feet. There are 106.3" between the frames, with an open height of 19.7". The maximum travel distance of the ram is 7.87", and the maximum bend length that can be formed is 127". The ram repeatability is ±0.00004", while the backgauge can travel 27.55".

The HDS 1703NT has an AMNC-PC control, which is used to control the ram, backgauge and other appropriate functions. There are four methods of entering data into the AMNC-PC control, 2D GRAPHICS mode, ANGLE Mode, DEPTH Mode and 3D Mode Dr.ABE_Bend, Amada's offline simulation and programming software for press brakes allow for the generation of programs and set-up data external to the press brake. This translates into less time setting up the press brake and more time running production.
The hybrid drive system incorporated in the HDS 1703NT press brake offers the user multiple benefits including:
•    Super accurate ram repeatability – ±0.00004"
•    High speed ram movement
•    Low power consumption
•    Less oil required and less frequent oil changes
•    Very low noise
