I used to work for a tight tolerance sheet metal fabrication shop and the two most widely used brands in that shop were Amadas and Cincinatties. The operators always fought over the Amadas. I am not a brake operator so that is the only info I can give you.

Good Luck

Kinda what I am seeing with the press brakes mainly, I like how the tooling holders can be moved around to make taller pans with out having to use the c frame sides or really really long tooling.

Also like the fact bystronic and amada both have angel detection systmes.
