Who uses the AT 1520-150 and for what
The Bernardo AT 1520-150 is the top of the range of AT universal presses: maximum useful width (1,520 mm), maximum force (150 tons), extended useful height (610 mm). It is the choice for industrial workshops that regularly process large and tall components, simultaneously requiring width, force, and vertical space. Compared to the AP 1520-150 (same width and force, useful height 275 mm), it offers an additional 335 mm of height: a decisive difference for tall molds and the shrink-fitting of vertical components. The 3,800 kg weight (vs 3,500 kg for the AP 1520-150) reflects the taller structure required to accommodate the 610 mm useful height while maintaining stability. In Krollit customer workshops, it is chosen by industrial metal fabrication shops with tall molds, manufacturers of mechanical components that alternate flat and vertical processing, and workshops that require the top universal Bernardo model.
Its place in the Bernardo range
The AT 1520-150 is the pinnacle of the AT range, parallel to the AP 1520-150 (pinnacle of the AP range). The key difference between AT and AP is the useful height: AT 610 mm vs AP 275 mm. Same width, tonnage, and motor. Below it in the AT family: AT 1020-150 (same tonnage, 1,020 mm width, 610 mm height) and AT 1020-100 (100 t, 1,020 mm width, 680 mm height). For workshops requiring both maximum width (1,520 mm) and extended useful height (over 300 mm), the AT 1520-150 is the only choice. For those who do not need the extended useful height, the AP 1520-150 is correctly sized with a lower cost. For dedicated applications (only bending, only pressing on long pieces), the AKPL and DKS are more specialized.
Krollit logistics and support
Bernardo shipping in 5-9 working days (7 days for Southern Italy). With 3,800 kg, it requires a crane or forklift of adequate capacity. Dimensions 2,650 × 1,400 × 2,540 mm: verify access to the workshop. Original Bernardo tools, spare parts, and accessories available from stock with 3-5 working day shipping. Customer support available in Italian.
Who is the AT 1520-150 for
| Profile | Compatibility | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Passionate hobbyist | Not suitable | Top-of-the-range industrial machine. Exclusively professional application. |
| Metal fabrication shop with tall molds | Recommended | The combination of 1,520 mm width + 150 t force + 610 mm useful height is not found in other presses in the universal range. Sized for complete industrial processing. |
| Industrial structure manufacturer | Recommended | For tall molds requiring extended width. For dedicated applications, consider DKS gantry presses or AKPL bending machines. |
Not suitable for: applications that do not require extended useful height (the AP 1520-150 is significantly cheaper); exclusively producing long pieces (dedicated DKS gantry range); industrial series bending production (AKPL); workshops without an industrial 400V three-phase line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price difference compared to the AP 1520-150 worth it?
It depends on the typical height of the pieces. For flat processing, the AP 1520-150 is correctly sized with a lower cost. For molds and components taller than 275 mm, the AT 1520-150 is necessary.
The price difference reflects the taller structure of the AT (3,800 vs 3,500 kg). For workshops that consistently work with useful heights under 275 mm, the AT is oversized. For workshops with regular tall molds, the AP is insufficient. The choice should be made based on the typical height of the components, not the price.
What type of industrial applications are typical for the AT 1520-150?
Deep drawing on wide components, vertical shrink-fitting of tall shafts, assembly of complex assemblies, processes requiring molds taller than 300 mm.
Practical examples: production of flanged pipes with shrink-fitting of flanges over a significant length; assembly of transmission components with tall shafts; deep industrial box stamping. For automated series production in these applications, dedicated industrial presses with automation should be considered.
How much does the 11 kW motor consume in production?
The 11 kW motor typically draws 11-12 kWh per effective hour at full load. In standard production with a 60-70% duty cycle, the average consumption is 7-8 kWh per hour.
For workshops with significant electricity costs, it is recommended to organize cycles to reduce standby times. Optional energy recovery systems are available on advanced industrial versions.
How much operating space is needed in the workshop?
The machine dimensions are 2,650 × 1,400 × 2,540 mm. For handling large pieces, an operating area of at least 4.5 × 3 m with a minimum ceiling height of 3 m is required.
The height of 2,540 mm allows installation in workshops with a standard 3-meter ceiling. The 600×1,520 mm table handles standard large pieces. For handling, it is recommended to have access to a hoist or workshop crane to manage heavy pieces.
What is the expected service life?
For standard industrial use, the AT 1520-150 is designed for a service life of over 20 years with regular maintenance. Wear parts (seals, bearings, pump) are replaceable with original Bernardo spare parts.
The solid cast iron structure does not wear out: the 3,800 kg are sized for multi-decade durability. Piston seals are the component that requires the most frequent replacement, typically every 3-5 years in intensive use. Original Bernardo spare parts are available from stock with 3-5 working day shipping.
