RK International Machine Tools Ltd has launched the
HACO OptiForm 30150 CNC press brake in the UK — a new generation of high-performance, cost-effective bending technology, combining European engineering with the British company’s reliable local support and service. The OptiForm Series (OPF), introduced this year, represents HACO’s re-imagining of an entry-level CNC press brake. Designed for efficiency, ergonomics, and fast delivery, the 3m 150-tonne OptiForm 30150 is ideal for workshops upgrading from manual press brakes or expanding capacity.
The new machine features: a compact footprint with a rigid frame; HACO EasyBEND multi-touch CNC; a PC-based 2-D graphical control for intuitive operation; two configurations — standard two-axis backgauge with manual crowning and a ‘+’ version with four-axis backgauge (X, R, Z1, Z2) and CNC crowning. Furthermore, the quality machine is manufactured in the European Union (EU), which means UK manufacturers will benefit from shorter lead times, budget-friendly pricing, and full UK-based support from RK International, including installation, training, and after-sales service.
Bart Huys, HACO’s global sales manager, said: “The OptiForm is a smart, future-ready solution for fabricators who want to modernise without over-investing. We have combined the simplicity of our SynchroMaster with a modern design and intuitive control, making it perfect for the UK market where flexibility, reliability, and value are key.”
The OptiForm complements HACO’s established range of sheet metal equipment, now available through RK International, including: guillotine shears with up to 6,000mm cutting capacities; fibre laser cutting systems; plate rolls; steelworkers; EuroMaster, SynchroMaster, as well as the HDSY press brake series.
Also available is the HACO Robobend FLEX, a robotic bending cell which is ideal for UK manufacturers seeking to streamline production. It features fast offline programming—eliminating the need for robot teaching at the machine—and occupies minimal floor space.
