The Morgan Rushworth XPH Hybrid Press Brake features an innovative electro-hydraulic servo drive system which reduces power consumption by around 60% while idling and 45% during bending, when compared to a traditional hydraulic press brake. In addition to these savings, the system allows for very fast approach and return speeds, reaching up to 200 mm/sec. If you are looking for fast, accurate and responsive bending while at the same time reducing costs and environmental impact then this model is well worth considering.

A straight folding blade is preferred for long accurate folds in polished materials, or materials with coatings such as plastisol, as segmented tools can sometimes leave visible marks. They can also produce safe edges or hems and are excellent for radius bending. However many production facilities will opt for a box and pan folder with segmented fingers due to the flexibility of this set up.
