One of my competitors recently purchased a Bystronic Beyler Xpert. I have used press brakes right now, but I am a leary of purchasing new equipment. What are the advantages of the Xpert versus an old press brake? Also, if anyone out there has an Xpert or has operated one, maybe you can tell me your experience with the machine.

I have two brand new amada brakes with new precision tooling from wilson and amada- It has changed the company- no longer do bends walk along the bend line- All parts are dead on accurate- we can now stage bend across the brake. Just so many advantages.
