Series and years on KD Machinery’s record

The series name places a used Amada in time. The RG machines KD Machinery has listed were built from 1980 to 2000, and they are common on its record. FBD machines run from the mid-1980s to 2004, and the Promecam-badged HFB from 1993 to 1998. HFE machines date from 1999 to 2011 and the HFE M2 from 2011 to 2017. HDS machines date from 2007 to 2014, and the HD and HG from 2015 to 2019.

Metric numbers, US listings

Listings in the United States are usually in US tons and feet, so a metric model number and the listing never quite match. On the HFE, HFB, FBD, HDS and HG machines KD Machinery has listed, the number gives the force in metric tonnes and then the bed in metres. An FBD 5020E is 50 tonnes on a 2-metre bed, about 6.5 feet. RG machines carry only the tonnage. An RG-80 is 80 tonnes, about 88 US tons, and KD Machinery’s listings have used both figures.

Control by series

On KD Machinery’s record, RG brakes and most FBD brakes run Amada’s NC9-EX or NC9-EXII control. Most HFE machines, and some HFB machines, have the Amada Operateur. The HDS, HD and HG machines have an AMNC control, the newest ones the AMNC 3i. A handful of older RG brakes carry an aftermarket backgauge control instead.

What to check on a used Amada brake

Bend a test part along the full bed and check the angle in the middle against the ends. Look for leaks at the cylinders, and listen to the pump on a cold start. On older RG and FBD machines, check the control powers up cleanly, loads a program and drives the backgauge to each position. Throat depth on most is between 15.75 and 17.7 inches, so check deep flanges against the drawing.
