Overview & positioning
The UmproTech HBC 50/1600 MT-15 is designed as a “go-to” precision brake for North American fabrication shops that live in the world of high-mix, short-run work. With 50 tons of forming capacity and a 1600 mm (63") bending length, it covers a wide range of light and medium-gauge sheet metal parts without consuming the floor space of a larger machine.
A 4+1 axis configuration (Y1/Y2, X, R + CNC crowning) combined with the MT-15 15" touchscreen control gives operators fine-grained control over bend sequences, back gauge positioning, and compensation. This translates directly into fewer trial parts, faster setups, and stable repeatability over long production runs.
Built around Bosch-Rexroth servo-hydraulic technology and GIVI optical scales, the HBC 50/1600 is equally at home as a standalone forming cell or integrated downstream from fiber lasers, turret punches, and coil-fed systems in modern US fabrication environments.
Key advantages for US buyers
- 50 ton bending force handles a wide range of precision sheet metal jobs in mild steel, stainless, and aluminum for brackets, panels, and small structural parts.
- 1600 mm bending length is optimized for panels, brackets, trays, and cabinets up to 63" wide—ideal for high-mix, low-to-medium volume production.
- 4+1 CNC axes (Y1, Y2, X, R + CNC crowning) enable multi-axis forming, complex geometries, and repeatable multi-bend sequences.
- MT-15 15" touchscreen controller streamlines programming and setup with graphical bend visualization and job libraries.
- Servo-hydraulic Bosch-Rexroth drive and GIVI optical scales deliver stable ram control, precise positioning, and consistent angles run after run.
- High-speed back gauge and responsive hydraulics support short cycle times in flexible production cells.
- Compact footprint fits easily into existing cells or near fiber lasers, turret punches, and welding fixtures, minimizing material travel.
- Promecam-style quick-change tooling interface reduces changeover times and supports common punch/die inventories.
- Standard 480V/3-phase/60 Hz electrical service and industrial components align with typical US facility infrastructure.

Geometry & working envelope
Bending length:
1600 mm nominal working capacity supports most small and mid-size enclosures, brackets, guards, and electrical panels commonly produced in US fabrication shops.
Axis configuration:
Y1 and Y2 provide independent ram positioning for accurate parallelism; X axis sets flange depth; R axis adjusts gauge height; CNC crowning maintains bend angle along the full 1600 mm bed.
Daylight & stroke:
Generous daylight opening and stroke (see detailed spec sheet) allow the use of taller tooling and support multi-bend parts with return flanges and boxed geometries without disassembly.
Throat depth:
Throat depth is engineered to handle bends positioned away from the part edge, enabling flanges and offset bends typical in chassis, brackets, and formed covers while preserving frame rigidity.
Back gauge range:
Back gauge travel spans short flanges and deeper panels, supporting both small precision parts and wider panels on the same setup. Adjustable fingers aid repeat positioning on small batches and repeat orders.
Structure & mechanical design
Frame construction:
Heavy welded steel frame with finite-element-optimized ribbing, stress-relieved to eliminate internal stresses and support long-term accuracy under continuous forming cycles.
Ram guidance:
Precision guidance surfaces and robust bearing arrangements maintain ram alignment, minimizing side loading, improving tool life, and preserving bend quality across the entire bed width.
Crowning & deflection control:
CNC motorized crowning compensates for natural deflection in the bed and ram during forming. The control automatically adjusts crowning based on part length, material, and tooling, reducing shimming and trial parts.
Tool clamping surfaces:
Machined, ground clamping surfaces provide accurate, repeatable seating of Promecam tooling, simplifying alignment and reducing setup and verification time during changeovers.
Drive system, hydraulics & motors
Hydraulic system:
Bosch-Rexroth servo-hydraulic system with proportional valves regulates ram speed and pressure for smooth, controlled forming. Optimized approach and return speeds support fast cycles without sacrificing accuracy.
Ram synchronization:
Closed-loop electro-hydraulic synchronization uses GIVI scale feedback on Y1/Y2 to monitor cylinder positions, maintaining ram parallelism even under asymmetric loading or off-center tooling.
Main drive motors:
Industrial AC motors rated for continuous-duty shop operation, sized to support rapid cycles on small and mid-size parts without overheating or instability.
Back gauge drive:
Servo-driven X and R axes with ball screws and linear guides deliver fast, precise positioning between bends. Ideal for short-run, high-mix work where back gauge moves frequently within a program.
Controls, electronics & automation
CNC system:
MT-15 15" touchscreen CNC with graphical interface, bend sequence programming, material/tool libraries, and storage for frequently used jobs. Designed to reduce operator dependence and programming time.
Programming interface:
Guided parameter input (material, thickness, angle, die opening) with graphical feedback helps new and experienced operators alike create repeatable programs quickly and consistently.
Diagnostics & status:
On-screen diagnostics, alarm history, and status monitoring assist maintenance technicians in identifying issues and planning preventive maintenance, reducing unplanned downtime.
Automation interfaces:
Standard I/O and network-ready architecture (per configuration) enable integration with robotic loading, pallet systems, or cell controllers in automated workcells.
Cooling, lubrication & utilities
Hydraulic cooling:
Air–oil heat exchanger with temperature control maintains hydraulic oil within the optimal operating range during extended shifts, protecting pumps and valves and preserving machine consistency.
Lubrication:
Automatic centralized lubrication system delivers lubricant to key points at preset intervals, minimizing manual lubrication tasks and supporting predictable long-term accuracy.
Electrical requirements:
480 V / 3-phase / 60 Hz power service typical of US industrial facilities; full load current, breaker size, and cable recommendations are provided with the installation documentation.
Compressed air:
Clean, dry compressed air required for auxiliary devices and safety systems, compatible with standard shop air specifications found in fabrication plants.
Safety, guarding & environmental management
Operator safety:
Front light curtains, dual-channel emergency stops, and interlocked side/rear guarding (per configuration) support safe operation in accordance with common press brake safety practices.
Electrical safety:
Industrial-rated components, main disconnect, and clear separation of control and power circuits facilitate safe maintenance and alignment with plant electrical standards.
Noise & vibration:
Compact, rigid frame and servo-hydraulic control help keep operating noise and vibration within typical levels for modern small-tonnage hydraulic press brakes.
Maintenance safety:
Ram support devices, lockout/tagout provisions, and clear procedures in the maintenance manual support safe inspection, service, and repair activities.
