RAGOS MG Series Up-Acting Press Brakes
On an up-acting press brake the lower beam rises to meet a fixed upper beam, so the stroke is short and the machine runs stable even as production conditions change. RAGOS says the MG Series is more stable and more energy efficient than conventional upper-moving models, and the control is simple enough that less experienced operators can reach the target angle without trial bends, which shortens setup.
- Internal buckle frame: compared with a welded frame, the machine does not skew or deflect and its precision does not drift over long use
- Middle-pressurized method: pressure applied at the middle of the bed prevents deformation in the center of the part, giving good accuracy along the bend
- Small parts: bends micro parts easily, down to flanges within about 30 mm
- Rear gauge: optional 3 or 5 axis rear baffle (A1, A2, R and L axes)
- Control: RAGOS MINI9 CNC with manual and automatic interfaces

Is an MG Right for Your Shop?
- You bend small to medium parts up to about 3,100 mm long and up to 100 tons
- You want a compact machine with a short stroke and fast cycles
- Operator experience varies, so a simple, forgiving control matters
- You need a lower-cost entry into CNC press brakes than a large hydraulic machine
For longer or heavier bending, see the HG hydraulic and HM and HGS hybrid press brakes. For hydraulic-free precision on small parts, see the all-electric NG series. Size your tonnage with our press brake tonnage calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions About MG Series Press Brakes
What is an up-acting press brake?
The lower beam moves up against a stationary upper beam, instead of the upper beam moving down. The stroke is short, and the machine stays stable and accurate across changing jobs.
What tonnage and bending lengths does the MG Series cover?
Models run from the MG-3512 (35 tons, 1,200 mm) to the MG-1003 (100 tons, 3,100 mm), with MG-5016, MG-6020 and MG-8025 in between.
What does the model number MG-6020 mean?
The first two digits are the tonnage (60) and the last two are the length in hundreds of millimeters (20 = 2,000 mm). The MG-1003 is 100 tons at 3,100 mm.
What control does the MG use?
The RAGOS MINI9 CNC, with manual and automatic interfaces and a graphic display.
Can I bend small parts on an MG?
Yes. RAGOS designed the series to bend micro parts easily within about 30 mm.
Are these specifications final?
They come from the RAGOS brochure and are for reference. We confirm current specifications, options and North American power requirements on your quote.
