    IT'S LIGHT.

    Our machine is by far the lightest in its category on the market.

    IT’S EFFICIENT.

    You can change tools within seconds, saving time and production costs.

    IT’S ACCURATE.

    The John Smith 12 achieves exceptional accuracy down to 1 mm thanks to linear metering.

    IT’S MOVABLE.

    Thanks to the locking wheels, you can
move it to wherever you need it at any time.

    IT'S UNIQUE.

    We have registered an industrial design and patented solution for the machine.

    IT’S COMPATIBLE.

    The machine can be plugged into a 380V socket as well as a standard 220V socket. And the performance will still be great.

      The future belongs to automation. Simplifying and speeding up the work process means less effort, higher productivity, saving time, and therefore money too. Plus the lower the cost, the higher the earnings. All that thanks to automation. And we're bringing it to you today. As affordably as possible, as simply as possible.

      The future belongs to automationand we're bringing it to you today. John Smith is your trusted partner to support you in a market transformed by robotics.

      John Smith press brakes save you time and space, increase productivity and reduce costs. With us, automation is simple and affordable - because time is money.

      Every detail is important.

      Hydraulic cylinder piston and forging mechanism

      The entire forging mechanism can exert a force of up to 12 tonnes and the piston can move at a speed of 17.6 mm/s (220 V variant) or 28.8 mm/s (380 V variant).

      Smart solution for quick change of forgings

      You can change forgings and other tools very quickly in a single heating, effectively reducing production costs.

      Robust castors with locking mechanism

      Is your business dealing with a lack of space? That's why we've equipped the machine with locking castors so you can move it easily and at any time.

      Practical foot pedal

      It's hard to forge with one hand. That's why you can control our machine with a convenient foot pedal so you can forge with both hands.

      Linear metering

      It allows you to lock the top and bottom position of the cylinder piston using a precise linear ruler with a stroke between the forgings of up to 150 mm.

      Fine-tuned down to the last detail.

      Our mission

      WE MAKE AUTOMATION
      ACCESSIBLE, SIMPLE,
      AND FOR EVERYONE.

      Automation is a major competitive advantage. But why should only the largest companies with the highest profits be able to afford it and benefit from it? Why shouldn't everyone have equal access to more efficient production?

      Our goal is to make automation widely affordable so that everyone can afford it. We want to enable entrepreneurs of all sizes to shift from manual labour to machines. That's the only way diligence, quality products and really good ideas can really stand out.
