UmproTech HBC 1200/6000 – 1,320 Ton, 20 ft Heavy-Duty CNC Press Brake
The UmproTech HBC 1200/6000 is an extreme-duty CNC press brake delivering 1,320 US tons of hydraulic forming force across a full 236" (20 ft) bending length. It is engineered for US job shops, OEMs and heavy fabrication cells that live on uptime and handle large, thick or high-strength steel components where accuracy, repeatability and real tonnage capacity are non-negotiable.
Capacity: 1,320 US tons · Bending length: 236" (20 ft) · Axes: Y1 / Y2, X, R + CNC crowning (optional Z1 / Z2) · Drive: Dual SIEMENS + Bosch Rexroth hydraulics
Key advantages for US buyers
- 1,320 US ton press force: Real forming capacity for thick and high-strength steel plates, beams and structural parts that simply do not belong on smaller brakes. Designed so you can take on demanding work—wind towers, bridge components, massive frames—without running at 100% capacity on every hit.
- Full 236" (20 ft) bending length: Supports oversized panels, beams and long components common in energy, construction and infrastructure projects. Long parts can be formed in a single setup instead of being split and welded, reducing distortion, weld labor and downstream fit-up issues.
- Ultra-rigid, stress-relieved monoblock frame: Heavy welded, stress-relieved monoblock construction minimizes deflection under full load, holding angle and straightness across the entire working width and extending machine life under extreme-duty, multi-shift use.
- Industrial SIEMENS dual-motor drive + Bosch Rexroth hydraulics: Dual SIEMENS motors and a Bosch Rexroth hydraulic package provide smooth, synchronized power delivery for heavy forming cycles, built for continuous duty in US industrial environments where uptime matters more than brochure specs.
- High-precision FAGOR optical scales & CNC crowning: Frame-mounted FAGOR linear optical scales and automatic CNC crowning provide thousandths-of-an-inch repeatability, even with high-yield materials and long, heavy parts that push most brakes to their limits.
- Flexible multi-axis CNC: Y1/Y2 + X + R axes with CNC crowning (and optional Z1/Z2) provide the flexibility needed for high-mix, low-volume work and complex part geometries, while still being fast enough for repeat production of core part families.
Key technical specifications
Press force: 1,320 US tons
Sized for thick plate and high-strength steels used in heavy equipment, energy and infrastructure. Project-specific tonnage charts are supplied to map safe combinations of material, thickness and bend length, so operators know exactly what belongs on this brake.
Bending length: 236" (20 ft)
Accommodates oversized panels, beams and long workpieces—sidewalls, machine bases, bridge components—without splicing. This is critical where straightness and dimensional relationships across the full length drive how parts fit into weld fixtures and assemblies.
Frame: Ultra-rigid, stress-relieved welded monoblock
Monoblock frame is thermally stress relieved and machined to final tolerances, minimizing deflection and ensuring the relationship between bed and ram remains stable under repeated 1,320 ton loading cycles over many years of production.
Main drive: Dual SIEMENS motors + Bosch Rexroth hydraulics
Dual SIEMENS motors provide robust, synchronized drive power, while Bosch Rexroth hydraulic components deliver controlled ram movement, stable pressure and high reliability in multi-shift, high-tonnage environments.
Axes: Y1/Y2, X, R, CNC crowning (optional Z1/Z2)
Independent Y1/Y2 ram control plus X (depth) and R (vertical backgauge) axes, with CNC-controlled crowning for angle control. Optional Z1/Z2 axes allow independent left/right finger positioning for staged setups and complex parts.
Linear feedback: FAGOR optical scales
High-resolution FAGOR optical scales are mounted directly to the frame, bypassing noise from mechanical deflection. This provides accurate ram positioning and parallelism on long parts, essential for tight-tolerance assemblies.
CNC crowning: Automatic bed compensation
CNC crowning compensates for natural deflection of the bed and ram under load. The control applies the correction per tool, material and bend length, keeping angles consistent along the entire 20 ft length—even on thick or high-yield plates.
Backgauge: Precision ball-screw or servo-driven
Heavy-duty backgauge, driven by ball-screw or servo system (per configuration), ensures accurate material positioning on long or heavy workpieces. Gauge fingers and arms are engineered for rigidity with heavy parts and long flanges.
Connectivity: Ethernet / USB
Supports program loading, backups and integration with shop networks, nesting systems or production cells. Ideal for plants standardizing programs and tooling strategies across multiple lines.
Detailed values for open height, stroke, throat depth, axis travels and tolerances are provided in the project-specific technical data sheet and GA drawings.
Mechanical design, geometry & bending envelope
Open height & stroke: large-part geometry
Open height and ram stroke are sized to accommodate tall tools, deep box sections and large structural weldments. Final values are confirmed with your tooling strategy (conventional, European-style, American-style or custom) and part mix during configuration.
Throat depth: deep throat design
Deep throat allows bending of parts where the bend line is well inside the material edge—common on large frame members, channels and complex structural pieces— reducing the need for alternative processes or re-designs just to “fit the brake”.
Bed & ram surfaces: precision-machined
Bed and ram are precision-machined after frame stress relief, ensuring long-term alignment for clamping systems and crowning components. This helps maintain angle consistency and surface contact over many years of high-tonnage cycles.
Ram guidance & parallelism:
The guided ram system maintains parallel motion between bed and ram throughout the stroke. Combined with FAGOR feedback, this keeps angle and flange length variation under control, even on long parts and heavy sections where springback can vary with material batches.
Capabilities & typical applications
The HBC 1200/6000 is engineered as a core asset for heavy fabrication, capable of running as a standalone forming cell or integrated into a production line with fiber lasers, plasma tables, saws and large welding stations. It is aimed at work where each part represents significant material, cutting and weld value.
- Forming wind tower sections, base plates, stiffeners and substation structures for the energy sector—where thick plate, long bends and high-yield materials are the norm.
- Bending steel beams, plates and massive panels for bridges, buildings, industrial plants and infrastructure projects requiring 20 ft-class forming.
- Production of heavy equipment parts for mining, agriculture, construction and material handling, including booms, frames, housings, outriggers and machine bases that must fit welded assemblies without excessive rework.
- Large tank fabrication, shipbuilding and heavy structural manufacturing where large shells, decks and structural members must be formed accurately at scale.
- High-mix, low-volume runs of oversized or high-strength components, plus repeat production of core part families where stored programs and setups help standardize quality across shifts and operators.
Implementation & support for US shops
We partner with US job shops and OEMs to ensure a smooth transition—from initial concept and budgeting through installation and ramp-up. Before you commit, our team reviews your part mix, thickness ranges and production goals to confirm that a 1,320 ton, 20 ft brake is the right fit and properly configured.
- Pre-install planning: review of power, floor loading, foundation needs, crane coverage, rigging paths and material flow so the machine drops into your layout with minimal surprises.
- Application support: assistance with basic programs, tooling selection and bend sequence development using your real parts—not just demo coupons.
- Integration guidance: advice on connecting the brake with existing or planned lasers, saws and welding cells, so forming capacity matches upstream cutting and downstream welding throughput.
- Training & handover: on-site or remote operator and programmer training focused on safe operation, angle control and setup best practices.
Next step: send us a few representative parts or drawings (material, thickness, bend lengths and volumes), and we’ll confirm fit, estimate cycle times and recommend an optimal HBC 1200/6000 configuration for your application.
