UmproTech HBC 1600/6000 – 1,760 US Ton, 20 ft CNC Press Brake
The UmproTech HBC 1600/6000 is an extreme-duty CNC hydraulic press brake engineered as a core machine for heavy fabrication, structural steel and construction equipment manufacturers. Delivering 1,760 US tons (approx. 1,600 metric tons) of forming force across a 236" (20 ft) bed, it is built for high-strength plate, large beams and long-part accuracy in demanding US industrial environments where uptime, safety and repeatability are critical.
Capacity: 1,760 US tons · Bending length: 236" (20 ft / 6,000 mm) · Frame: Heavy welded, stress-relieved monoblock · Drive: Twin SIEMENS + Bosch Rexroth hydraulics
Key advantages for US buyers
- True 1,760 US ton forming headroom: Massive press force handles thick, high-strength plate and structural profiles with margin to spare, so you are not bending at the limits of the machine on every job. Ideal for bridge work, heavy frames, crane components, booms and other parts where a misbend is extremely expensive.
- Full 236" (20 ft) bending length: Supports large frames, beams, bridge components and long equipment panels in a single setup. Reduces or eliminates splitting long parts into shorter segments and welding them back together, which cuts weld time, distortion and rework.
- Heavy-duty, stress-relieved monolithic frame: The welded monoblock frame is thermally stress relieved and precision-machined to minimize deflection under full load, maintaining angle and straightness across the entire 20 ft working width over many years of production.
- Industrial CNC system with multi-axis control: Touch-screen HMI and graphical programming make it practical to program complex parts, run angle-based bending and standardize programs across shifts, even when operator experience levels vary.
- Closed-loop accuracy with FAGOR scales: FAGOR linear scales on Y1/Y2 provide direct ram position measurement, enabling closed-loop hydraulic control, high repeatability and excellent parallelism—critical for long beams and welded structures that must fit jigs and assemblies without rework.
- Motorized CNC crowning as standard: Automatic crowning compensates for deflection and reduces manual corrections on long/heavy workpieces, helping keep angle variation tight and scrap rates low when bending high-value plate and structural sections.
- Built for US heavy fabrication environments: Drive, hydraulics, safety and control architecture are specified for multi-shift, high-duty-cycle use in North American fabrication shops and OEM plants.
Key technical specifications
Bending force: 1,760 US tons (≈ 1,600 metric tons)
Supports demanding forming of thick plate, structural steel and heavy-duty components used in bridges, cranes, heavy equipment and energy infrastructure. Tonnage charts by material, thickness and bend length are supplied so operators know exactly what the machine can safely form.
Bending length: 236" (20 ft / 6,000 mm)
Enables forming of large-scale parts—beams, frames, panels and sidewalls—up to 20 ft long in a single hit. This is essential for structural and construction work where part length and straightness directly affect how assemblies fit in the field.
Frame design: Heavy welded, stress-relieved monolithic frame
Welded steel monoblock frame is stress relieved and then machined at critical surfaces to ensure long-term flatness, alignment and rigidity. The design is optimized to keep deflection predictable and within the correction range of CNC crowning at full 1,760 ton load.
Main drive: Twin SIEMENS AC motors with Bosch Rexroth hydraulics
High-efficiency twin SIEMENS motors drive a Bosch Rexroth hydraulic system configured for synchronized ram movement, stable pressure and repeatable forming cycles in continuous-duty, multi-shift operation.
Position feedback: FAGOR linear scales (Y1/Y2)
FAGOR linear scales directly measure ram position for each side (Y1/Y2), enabling closed-loop hydraulic control that compensates for frame and cylinder flex, maintaining parallelism and angle accuracy across the full bed length.
Backgauge: Precision ball screws and linear guides (X/R axes)
Heavy-duty backgauge with ball screws and linear guides on X (depth) and R (vertical) axes gives stable positioning for long and heavy parts. Adjustable stop fingers can be configured for varied flange geometries, deep boxes and complex structural shapes.
CNC crowning: Motorized, automatic compensation
CNC-controlled crowning applies automatic compensation for bed and ram deflection, based on tooling, material and bend length. This ensures uniform bend angles along the full 20 ft part length, reducing trial bends and manual correction work.
Safety: Integrated safety monitoring & devices
Configurable safety packages (light curtains, two-hand controls, emergency stops, interlocks and safety relays) help the system comply with industrial press brake safety standards and support integration with plant safety systems.
Detailed figures for stroke, open height, throat depth, axis speeds and positioning tolerances are defined in the project-specific technical spec and GA drawings.
Capabilities & typical applications
The HBC 1600/6000 is designed to anchor heavy fabrication cells, serving either as a standalone forming center or integrated with saws, lasers and welding lines. Its high tonnage and 20 ft bed make it ideal for forming extra-long, thick and high-strength components where scrap and downtime are not an option.
- Structural steel, bridge beams and large frames that demand long, straight bends and tight dimensional control for fit-up on site or in large weld fixtures.
- Construction, mining and agricultural equipment chassis, booms and structural arms where section size, thickness and length require 1,760 ton-class forming capacity.
- Oil & gas, power generation, wind tower and pressure vessel components, including heavy flanges, base plates, stiffeners and large support structures.
- Heavy fabrication shops and contract manufacturers that routinely handle thick, oversized parts and need a reliable, repeatable workhorse at the heart of their forming operations.
- High-mix, low-volume production of large panels, plates and custom profiles where stored CNC programs and tooling strategies can be reused as jobs repeat.
Implementation & support for US shops
Our team supports US job shops and OEMs through every step—from pre-install planning to commissioning and ramp-up. Before you commit, we review your material thicknesses, part sizes and forming requirements to confirm that the HBC 1600/6000 is correctly sized and configured for your work.
We provide application guidance on tooling, bend sequences and CNC programming so your operators can move from first-piece validation to steady production quickly and safely.
- Pre-installation review: utilities, floor loading, access, crane coverage, workflow and safety considerations around a 20 ft, 1,760 ton press brake.
- Application engineering: part and material fit checks, capacity verification and basic throughput analysis to align expectations before installation.
- Training & handover: operator and programmer training on CNC use, angle control, setup practices and daily maintenance routines.
Next step: send us your sample parts or project specs (material grade, thickness, bend lengths and volumes), and we’ll confirm capacity, estimate cycle times and recommend an optimal HBC 1600/6000 configuration for your operation.
