RK International Machine Tools is proud to continue its partnership with Belgian sheet metal machinery manufacturer HACO. They are introducing the HACO OptiForm 30150 CNC Press Brake to the UK market.
This collaboration brings a new generation of high-performance, cost-effective bending technology to British manufacturers. It combines European engineering with local support and service.
The OptiForm Series (OPF), launched in–2025, is HACO’s reimagining of the entry-level CNC press brake. Designed for efficiency, ergonomics, and fast delivery, the OptiForm 30150 (3.0m, 150T) is ideal for UK workshops upgrading from manual brakes or expanding capacity. It offers:
– A compact footprint with a rigid frame
– HACO EasyBEND multi-touch CNC: a PC-based 2D graphical control for intuitive operation
Two preconfigured machines:
– Standard: 2-axis backgauge with manual crowning
– “+” version: 4-axis backgauge (X, R, Z1, Z2) with CNC crowning
Plus, the HACO OptiForm is manufactured in the EU, by HACO.
Manufacturers will benefit from shorter lead times, budget-friendly pricing, and full UK-based support from RK International. This includes installation, training, and after-sales service.
“The OptiForm is a smart, future-ready solution for fabricators who want to modernise without overinvesting,” said Bart Huys, Global Sales Manager at HACO. “We’ve combined the simplicity of our SynchroMaster with a modern design and intuitive control. It is perfect for the UK market where flexibility, reliability, and value are key.”
The OptiForm complements HACO’s established range of sheet metal equipment. These are now available through RK International, including:
– Guillotine shears with up to 6000mm cutting capacities
– Fibre laser cutting systems
– Plate rolls
– Steelworkers
– EuroMaster, SynchroMaster, and HDSY press brake series
– Robotic bending cell with the HACO Robobend FLEX. It 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.
with the proximity of HACO to RK Live, demonstrations of the OptiForm 30150 are now available. For more information, visit www.rk-int.com or contact the sales team at sales@rk-int.com
