TORO Mild Hybrid – Hybrid press brakes and their advantages

In the context of rising energy costs and the need for higher productivity, choosing the right bending technology becomes a critical factor for any manufacturing operation.

Standard hydraulic press brakes offer proven reliability and force, but operate with constant energy consumption and lower dynamics. On the other hand, servo-electric press brakes provide high precision and efficiency, but are often limited in capacity and in applications involving heavier parts.

TORO Mild Hybrid combines the best of both worlds – the industrial strength of hydraulics and the efficiency of servo technology.

The result is a well-balanced solution for modern manufacturing:

• high power
• low energy consumption
• stable precision

TORO Mild Hybrid integrates:

• Servo motor
• Driver
• Inverter-controlled hydraulic pump

Unlike the standard system:

• The AC motor does not run continuously
• The pump is activated only when needed

As a result lower consumption, higher speed, and precise motion control

Compared to a standard hydraulic press brake:

• Up to 50% lower energy consumption – without a continuously running motor
• Higher speed and dynamics – servo control instead of a conventional pump
• Lower noise levels
• Less oil heating → longer component lifespan
• Lower operating costs

Compared to a servo-electric press brake:

• Higher bending capacity – suitable for heavy-duty applications
• Greater flexibility across different materials and thicknesses
• More stable operation under continuous workloads
• Retained industrial robustness (TORO construction)

The key advantage:

The hybrid press brake requires no compromise.

You get:

• the efficiency of an electric machine
• the power and durability of a hydraulic machine
