Press Brakes, Laser Cutters & Punch Presses
Used Amada HFE 100-3: Sell or Buy at Auction
Amada is the world's largest manufacturer of sheet metal fabrication equipment, with a dominant position in press brakes, laser cutting systems, punch presses, and shears. Amada machines are the standard equipment in metal fabrication shops across North America, making them highly liquid at auction with strong buyer demand.
The Amada HFE 100-3 is a mid-tonnage CNC hydraulic press brake rated at roughly 100 metric tons (about 110 US tons) of bending force across an approximately 10 foot (3 meter) bed, the capacity and length encoded in its 100-3 designation. It runs on Amada's CNC control with a servo-driven backgauge, so operators program bend sequences and gauge positions for consistent, repeatable angles across a run. That puts it in the class Amada built for shops forming mild steel, stainless, and aluminum in gauges too heavy for a light-duty brake but too routine to tie up an oversized machine: thin sheet across the full bed, heavier material on shorter bends. HVAC fabricators, enclosure and cabinet manufacturers, and general metal fab shops run exactly this range every shift. Because the CNC control and servo backgauge cut setup time and hold tighter angle consistency than older manually adjusted brakes, a well-maintained HFE 100-3 draws steady interest from buyers adding capacity without the floor space or power draw of a full-tonnage machine. KD Auctions moves these units through its 500,000+ industry contacts, where clean mid-tonnage Amada press brakes are among the most actively bid machines in the sheet metal category.

What is my Amada HFE 100-3 worth at auction?
Auction value for an HFE 100-3 depends on age, hours, condition, the specific control and backgauge configuration, and any tooling included with the sale, so there is no single number that applies to every unit. KD Auctions offers a free AMEA-accredited, USPAP-compliant appraisal that reports both orderly liquidation value (OLV) and forced liquidation value (FLV), giving you a documented basis before you decide whether to sell.
How does the HFE 100-3 compare to other Amada HFE press brakes?
The HFE 100-3 sits in the middle of Amada's HFE press brake range, above lighter models like the HFE 50-2 and the 80-ton HFE machines, and below higher-capacity units such as the HFE 130-3 or HFE 170-4. At roughly 100 metric tons over an approximately 10 foot bed, it gives a shop more force and bending length than a small job-shop brake without the floor space, tooling cost, or power draw of a full-tonnage machine. That middle position is why it tends to attract a broad bidding pool: it fits both growing fab shops moving up from lighter equipment and larger shops adding a brake for lighter work, so clean units usually sell quickly.
