Overview
The Amada EGB 4010e is a compact 40-ton, 1-meter all-electric servo press brake from Amada's latest EGB-e compact series. Building on the proven foundation of the older EG-4010, the EGB 4010e upgrades to the AMNC 4ie control with voice command and operator recognition, a multi-axis backgauge with independent servo drives, and improved energy efficiency with approximately 20% lower CO2 emissions compared to hydraulic alternatives.
The electric servo drive system delivers variable torque and speed optimized for each phase of the bending cycle. With no hydraulic oil, pumps, filters, or warm-up time, the EGB 4010e requires minimal maintenance and runs near-silently. Ram repeatability is rated at ±0.001 mm, matching Amada's largest press brakes despite the compact 1-meter format.
The compact footprint makes the EGB 4010e ideal for cell-based manufacturing, secondary bending stations, or tight shop layouts where floor space is at a premium. The machine excels at small precision parts — electronics enclosures, medical device components, instrument housings, and small brackets — where accuracy, surface finish, and clean operation matter more than tonnage and bed length.
Amada offers an optional ERGO package for the EGB compact series that includes a Setup Assistant, foldable work table, and ergonomic chair, enabling seated operation for repetitive small-part bending. This option is particularly relevant for shops focused on operator comfort during extended production runs of small components.

Strengths & Limitations
Strengths
- Ultra-compact 1-meter footprint fits cell-based manufacturing layouts, secondary stations, or alongside larger machines
- AMNC 4ie control with voice command and operator recognition is a significant upgrade over the older EG-4010's AMNC 3i
- All-electric drive eliminates hydraulic oil, filters, pumps, and warm-up for near-zero maintenance requirements
- ±0.001 mm ram repeatability delivers exceptional accuracy for small precision parts without trial bends
- Optional ERGO package with seated operation reduces operator fatigue during extended small-part production runs
- Near-silent operation under 70 dB enables use in noise-sensitive and enclosed production environments
Limitations
- 40-ton capacity and 1-meter bed severely limit part size to small components and short flanges
- Premium pricing of $70K-$100K is significant for 40 tons compared to imported hydraulic machines under $20K
- Amada proprietary tooling limits third-party punch and die options
- Compact frame restricts complex backgauge configurations and limits operator access on wider parts

Frequently Asked Questions
01
The EGB 4010e upgrades to the AMNC 4ie control with voice command and operator recognition (vs AMNC 3i), adds improved multi-axis backgauge with independent servo drives, and offers the optional ERGO seated bending package. Core press capacity and bed dimensions remain similar, but the control and operator interface represent a generational improvement.
02
The ERGO package is an optional configuration that includes a Setup Assistant for guided tool setup, a foldable work table for material support, and an ergonomic chair for seated operation. It's designed for operators performing extended runs of repetitive small-part bending, reducing fatigue and improving consistency during long production shifts.
03
With 40 metric tons across 1,020 mm, the EGB 4010e air-bends mild steel up to approximately 3 mm at full bed length, stainless steel up to approximately 2 mm. On shorter bends using less of the bed, proportionally thicker material can be bent within the tonnage limit.
04
The EGB 4010e is far more suitable for clean environments than any hydraulic press brake. With no hydraulic oil, no potential for leaks, low noise, and low vibration, it meets the requirements of clean-room adjacent, food equipment, and medical device fabrication where contamination risk must be minimized.
