About the company
Prada Nargesa S.L. was founded in 1970 by Jaume Prada as a small family workshop in Palau de Santa Eulàlia near Girona; today it is run by his son David Prada. Nargesa designs and builds its machines itself, and many models started as tools the family needed for its own wrought-iron work – “creating for others what we need for ourselves”.
The range covers hydraulic ironworkers (40 and 70 t), section benders from 50 to 101.6 mm tube, CNC roll benders and non-mandrel CNC tube benders, cold twisting and scroll machines, the PP200CNC horizontal press with a large tooling catalogue, hydraulic shears up to 3 m, CNC press brakes up to 160 t, broaching machines, hot forging presses, power hammers, propane forges, cold embossing machines, a lock-punching press and the MS20 handheld laser welder with its CSL safety booth.
Machines are shipped fully assembled with ISPM 15 packaging. Components come from Rexroth, Bosch, Schneider, Telemecanique, LG, Roquet and Pizzato, CNC controls from ESA. Nargesa says it has more than 12 200 customers worldwide and exclusive dealers in the USA, Poland, Norway, Croatia, Turkey, Italy, Mexico and Colombia; there is no dealer in Bulgaria, so you buy directly from Spain.

- Hot forging of bar ends
Nargesa NF70 Hot Forging Machine for Bar Ends
The NF70 shapes heated bar ends using dies for flat, spear and textured tips. Nargesa lists up to 20 mm for round or square mild-steel bar in its main capacity table. For a batch of fence picket tips, specify the outline, width, thickness and length of the formed zone. The die determines how the tip transitions into the main bar. Show how the picket will join the surrounding panel members. Review several cooled samples. Compare tip symmetry, overall picket height and the transition around the visible part of the pattern.
NargesaPrice on request - Hot forging of scroll ends
Nargesa PC16 Hot Forging Machine for Scroll Ends
The PC16 rolls a snail-shaped end on heated steel. These ends are used in ornamental gate, grille and furniture components. The catalogue lists up to 20 mm for round or square bar and 50 × 10 mm for flat bar. For the rolled end to fit the ornament, specify its outside size, opening and direction relative to the rest of the bar. Show the starting blank and the transition into the curl on the drawing. Place the sample end on the drawing of the complete ornament. Check clearance to the adjacent element and compare the curl across a small batch.
NargesaPrice on request - Cold embossing · rollers
Nargesa NOA60 Cold Embossing Machine for Metal Sections
The NOA60 rolls a relief pattern into metal using profiled rolls. Nargesa lists capacities up to 60 × 60 mm for square tube and 60 × 10 mm for flat bar. A straightening unit with seven adjustable rollers is included. For railing or fence panels, choose the pattern around the visible face and the joint locations. Specify where the pattern should start and finish relative to the cut and assembly. A trial on the same section shows whether the texture is consistent along the stock. Lay several embossed blanks side by side. Check the pattern repeat, measure straightness and check fit in the frame after the section has passed through the straightener.
NargesaPrice on request - Cold forging · CNC
Nargesa MT500A CNC Cold Twisting and Bending Machine
The MT500A CNC cold-forms steel at separate twisting and bending stations. Nargesa lists capacities of up to 40 mm square solid bar for twisting and up to 25 mm square bar for bending. For an ornamental picket, define the twisted zone and the straight ends that attach to the frame. For a scroll, specify the outer contour and where the tail should finish. The tool sets the form, and the CNC setting lets the operator repeat the movement on the next pieces. Place two samples in the panel jig. Compare twist direction and pitch and check that the straight ends meet the mounting points.
NargesaPrice on request - Cold forging · automatic
Nargesa MT150A Automatic Twisting and Bending Machine
The MT150A forms ornamental bars and curves with interchangeable tooling. Nargesa lists solid square-bar capacity up to 20 mm for twisting and 16 mm for bending. The part programmer stores the movement for repeat pieces. For pickets with a short twisted zone, dimension its start and finish from the cut end. This places the visible pattern at a consistent height in the panel. For hooks, bends and scrolls, confirm the actual tool and the straight length needed for clamping. Place the sample parts against the panel frame. Measure the distance from the end to the start of the pattern and compare twist pitch and direction.
NargesaPrice on request - Hot forging press · 21 t
Nargesa PV21 21 t Hydraulic Hot Forging Press
The PV21 is a vertical hydraulic hot forging press with 21 t of force, a 296 mm stroke and a 250 × 260 mm usable table. It accepts interchangeable tools selected for the workpiece. In a batch of forged leaves or ornamental ends, stock volume and die closure matter. Show the intended profile and the point where it blends into the bar. Check the tool stack height and the clearance needed to locate the blank. Request several trial pieces from matching blanks. Once cooled, compare relief fill, thickness and the location of the transition against the drawing.
NargesaPrice on request - Lock punching · 1 stroke
Nargesa PI85 Hydraulic Lock Punching Press for Metal Gates
The PI85 punches openings for a mortise lock body, cylinder and handle in hollow gate sections. Nargesa lists tooling for several square and rectangular sections, including 50 × 50 mm. The die set depends on the section and whether the wall is 1.5 or 2 mm. For a run of pedestrian gates, alignment between the lock body opening, cylinder and handle spindle governs fit-up. The drawing should also identify the tube face that receives the lock faceplate. Nargesa lists a backset range of 18–37 mm. Supply a tube sample and the actual hardware for a trial. Fit the lock, cylinder and handles to the punched section and check their movement once the assembly is complete.
NargesaPrice on request - Ironworker · 40 t · CNC
Nargesa MX340G CNC 40 t Hydraulic Punching and Shearing Machine
The 40 t MX340G CNC punches sheet, tubes and steel sections. With the relevant tooling it can also shear, bend or form a part. It has a 100 mm vertical ram stroke, a 180 mm throat and ESA S820 CNC control. A jobbing shop could configure it for slots in mounting plates, corner notches or tube-end forming. Each operation needs its own tool. The controller's tool library helps when returning to a saved setup for a repeat order. Choose two parts from current production. Give the supplier the material, thickness, opening shape and distance to the edge for each. Request sample parts and time the changeover between tools.
NargesaPrice on request - Ironworker · 70 t
Nargesa MX700 70 t Hydraulic Ironworker with 350 mm Throat
The MX700 combines a nominal 70 t force with a 350 mm throat and a 160 mm ram stroke. Its 600 × 350 mm table provides room for tooling and support under larger parts. Throat depth matters when a hole sits well inside a broad plate or when a section flange must pass beside the punch. Check the part with the die, holder and fixture installed. Usable clearance depends on the complete setup. Provide a section through the least accessible hole and dimension it from the part edge. If the job includes notching or bending, specify the finished geometry for that operation and ask for the corresponding tool.
NargesaPrice on request - Broaching · keyways up to 25 mm
Nargesa BM25 Vertical Hydraulic Keyway Broaching Machine
The BM25 is a vertical hydraulic machine for broaching internal keyways. Nargesa lists 10 t force, a 600 mm stroke and a maximum keyway width of 25 mm. Typical workpieces are hubs, pulleys and gears. Tool selection starts with the finished bore diameter, keyway width and depth. The guide bush and fixture need to locate the part on the broach axis. Provide the hub length, material and assembly tolerance. Measure the width and depth on a trial part and check the fit with the actual key. If production covers multiple bore sizes, confirm which bushes and broaches are included.
NargesaPrice on request - Section bender · 3 rollers
Nargesa MC150B Three-Roll Section Bending Machine
The MC150B is a pyramid-type section bender with three rolls. The two lower rolls feed the stock, and the upper roll position governs the curvature. Nargesa lists round tube capacity up to 50 mm outside diameter. The machine suits furniture arches, hoops and individual curved sections. When ordering rolls for rectangular stock, identify the face that will remain on the outside of the bend. Bending on the wide face and the narrow face calls for different tool and support arrangements. Measure chord and rise after the sample is released. Check the section width at the middle of the arc and the remaining straight length at each end.
NargesaPrice on request - Section bender · 3 rollers
Nargesa MC200 Section Roll Bender for Rings and Arcs
The MC200 is a three-roll bender with two driven lower rolls. A millimetre scale records the upper shaft position. Side correctors guide the stock and can help form helical shapes. For a ring or flange, evaluate how the ends meet after rolling. The drawing should specify the diameter, remaining straight portions and joining gap. For a helix, add the axial pitch and handedness. Nargesa describes nine standard rolls with spacers. Request the roll arrangement for your section, then check flatness and how the ends meet on the trial ring.
NargesaPrice on request - Section bender · hydraulic
Nargesa MC200H Hydraulic Section Roll Bender
The MC200H bends sections on three rolls. The two lower rolls are driven and the upper shaft is adjusted hydraulically. The position scale gives the operator a reference when repeating a batch on the same section. A typical job is a matched pair of arches for a double-leaf gate. Section orientation and the visible face matter as much as the radius. The roll set must guide the section consistently, and both arches should match after the load is released. Give the supplier the cross-section, wall thickness, chord and rise. Assess the sample against a template and check for twist and marks on the visible faces.
NargesaPrice on request - Handheld · weld, cut, clean
Nargesa MS20 2 kW Handheld Laser Welding Machine
The MS20 is a handheld machine rated at 2 kW laser output. Nargesa lists welding, cutting and cleaning modes. Select the welding configuration for the joint and the requirement for filler wire. For a visible stainless assembly, specify the joint type, thicknesses and acceptable gap between the edges. Use the production fixture during the trial. Assess bead appearance and penetration as separate acceptance criteria. Request a welded sample and a cross-section of the weld to the drawing requirements. Check distortion after cooling and include integration with the planned laser booth in the quotation.
NargesaPrice on request - Safety booth · modular
Nargesa CSL Modular Laser Welding Safety Booth
The CSL is a modular enclosure for Class 4 laser work areas. Nargesa describes a protective window, a monitoring camera and interlocked double doors. In an MS20 installation, opening the door interrupts the laser enable signal. Size the layout around the table, workpieces and loading route. The position of the panels and doors needs to allow access for the largest part and for servicing. Nargesa provides a prior integration assessment for lasers from other manufacturers. Provide the room plan, laser model and work area dimensions for a quote. Request a booth drawing, an interlock description and the specified provisions for fume extraction.
NargesaPrice on request - Section bender · 3 driven rollers
Nargesa MC400 Section Bending Machine with Three Driven Rolls
The MC400 drives all three rolls. Independent lower-roll adjustment positions the contact points for the required section and curve. Nargesa specifies a roll diameter of 130 mm. For an exposed stainless tube arch, the surface matters alongside the shape. Select rolls for the tube diameter and finish, and identify the face that will remain visible. Measure the cross-section where the curvature puts the most strain on the tube. Ask for a sample on production stock. Compare the curvature, visible roll marks and the straight portions left before trimming.
NargesaPrice on request - Section bender · memory control
Nargesa MC550 Three-Roll Section Bender for Repeat Production
The MC550 uses three driven rolls and a controller that stores their positions for individual curves. This is useful when arches for canopies, supports or railings return as repeat orders on familiar sections. For a series of matching frames, assess how readily the operator restores the settings after changing rolls. Start with consistent blank lengths and identify where the arc must begin. Nargesa offers a separate CNC kit for more complex transitions. Compare the first and last arches after recalling the saved settings. Record the template deviation and confirm the exact controller and rolls on the quotation.
NargesaPrice on request - Section bender · memory control
Nargesa MC650 Section Roll Bender for Long Tubes and Profiles
The MC650 rolls tubes and sections using three driven rolls and asymmetric lower-shaft adjustment. Nargesa lists round tube capacity up to 101.6 mm with the appropriate tooling. Long stock for greenhouses, canopies and frames needs support because its weight affects how it tracks through the rolls. Plan support points and clearance around the machine for the full part envelope. The control stores roll positions for later runs. Trial the longest section in the job. Check access at entry and exit, then measure chord, rise and twist against the drawing tolerances.
NargesaPrice on request - Accessory · measuring
Nargesa Digital Radius Gauge for Bent Tubes and Sections
This digital gauge reads the inside or outside radius of a bent tube or section. Nargesa lists a 55 to 11,250 mm range when the appropriate one of the three standard measuring arcs is fitted. When inspecting a curved frame, choose the surface referenced by the drawing. Inside radius and section centreline radius are different dimensions. On a profile with transitions, take readings within the zones of constant curvature. To assess the gauge, measure a finished arc at several points and compare the readings with a reference template. Confirm the contact base and repeatability required for your parts.
NargesaPrice on request - CNC tube bender · 3 rollers
Nargesa MC550CNC Three-Roll CNC Tube and Section Bender
The MC550CNC uses three driven rolls and independently positioned lower shafts. The CNC predicts bend radii and coordinates the axes through transitions between segments with different curvature. The configuration suits repeat batches of curved frames where one piece contains several radii. Long stock needs support and room to travel through the bend. The machine can work vertically or horizontally according to part geometry and available space. Submit the radii and transition points on the drawing. Measure the bent sample for remaining straight ends and compare the transition areas with the template.
NargesaPrice on request - CNC tube bender · 3 rollers
Nargesa MC650CNC Three-Roll Tube and Profile Bender
The MC650CNC combines three driven rolls with CNC radius prediction and axis interpolation. The lower shafts are independently positioned. The catalogue lists round tube capacity up to 101.6 mm with appropriate tooling. On a structural component with a long arc and a tighter transition, the entire contour must repeat after unloading. Define the beginning and end of each zone and the reference face on the section. For long stock, evaluate horizontal operation with supports. Inspect symmetry, transition areas and straight lengths on the trial piece. Ask the supplier to recall the saved programme and run a second length of stock from the same batch.
NargesaPrice on request - Tube bender · without mandrel
Nargesa CC60 CNC Non-Mandrel Rotary Tube and Pipe Bender
The CC60 CNC bends tube around a rotary die without an internal mandrel. Nargesa lists bends up to 180° with the appropriate tool. One listed S275 capacity is 2-inch Schedule 40 pipe with a 60.3 mm outside diameter. The machine suits parts with defined bend locations, such as handles, tube frames and U-shaped components. When a tube has several bends, the drawing needs the spacing and orientation of each bend plane. Match the working radius to the tooling proposal. Send a drawing with the bend angles, centreline radii and straight lengths. On the sample, measure the angle after release and inspect the section around the bend for ovality and wrinkling.
NargesaPrice on request - Tube bender · without mandrel

For a bracket with inward-facing ends, check whether the final bend is accessible. The punch and die must provide clearance for the legs that have already been formed and allow the completed part to be removed. Provide the flat pattern and finished drawing. Ask for a trial of the full sequence, including the last bend. Check which tools and positioning accessories the supplier includes in the quote.
NargesaPrice on request - Accessory · CNC back gauge
Nargesa Motorised Backgauge for the PP200CNC Horizontal Press
This accessory positions the workpiece on the X axis of the PP200CNC horizontal press. X travel is 1210 mm. The ESA S625 controls the programmed positions, while the transverse Z position is set manually. It is useful when successive bends need different distances from the part edge, such as a bracket with two legs. The programme moves the stop for each operation. The fingers must contact a usable face and clear the part as it takes shape. Request a demonstration with your tooling and blank. Check access to the locating face, stop positions at each step and the finished flange dimensions after bending.
NargesaPrice on request - Software · bending simulation
Nargesa PP200CNC Sheet Metal Bending Simulation Software
Nargesa's simulator is a Windows application for preparing programmes for the PP200CNC horizontal press. It supports numerical and graphical programming and checks the bend sequence, flat pattern and possible collisions. Nargesa specifies a perpetual licence. For a part with several bends, the programme can be prepared at a separate computer. Use the actual tool and part geometry to assess clearance for formed legs and the backgauge on the final operation. Evaluate it with a drawing of your own bracket. Compare the proposed sequence with the available tooling, transfer the programme using the supported workflow and measure the trial part.
