UmproTech HBC 500/6000 – 500 Ton, 6000 mm CNC Press Brake
The UmproTech HBC 500/6000 is a long-bed, 500 ton CNC press brake engineered for the heaviest forming work in US fabrication shops and OEM plants. With a full 6000 mm (236 in) bending length, an industrial Siemens main motor, Bosch-Rexroth hydraulics and FAGOR position feedback, it is designed for large panels, structural members and long profiles where accuracy, repeatability and uptime directly impact project schedules and profitability.
Capacity: 500 ton · Bending length: 6000 mm · Hydraulics: Bosch-Rexroth · Main motor: Siemens · Axes: 4+1 (per tags)
Key advantages for US buyers
- True 500 ton forming capacity: Handles heavy-gauge steel, large structural profiles and long-form parts that are outside the comfort zone of 300–400 ton brakes. This headroom lets you take on demanding work without running at the limit on every cycle.
- Full 6000 mm (236 in) working length: Long bed supports oversized panels, box sections, tube/beam components and frames in a single setup, helping eliminate seams, weld joints and straightening passes that add cost and risk to large fabrications.
- Industrial powertrain: Siemens main motor and Bosch-Rexroth hydraulic package provide smooth acceleration, stable pressure and long-term durability, proven in heavy industrial environments and multi-shift operation.
- High-end feedback & crowning: FAGOR linear scales and motorized crowning work together to maintain consistent angle and straightness across the entire 6000 mm length, even on thick, high-strength material and asymmetric bends.
- 4+1 axis configuration (per tags): Multi-axis control supports advanced part geometries, staged tooling and flexible setups, making the HBC 500/6000 suitable for both large one-off projects and repeat OEM production.
- Built for integration into heavy fabrication cells: Footprint, foundation and utility requirements are matched to US heavy-duty shops, allowing the brake to sit in line with plate cutting, beam processing and large weld cells as a core forming station.
- Engineered with serviceability in mind: Access to hydraulic, electrical and lubrication points is designed to simplify maintenance, helping your team keep the brake in service instead of waiting on hard-to-reach components.
Key technical specifications
Bending force: 500 ton
Forming capacity sized for thick plate and structural members where high forming loads are the norm. Tonnage charts by material, thickness and bend length are used to verify that parts are safely within the 500 ton envelope, and to flag work that should be moved to a different process (or a larger machine) to protect both tooling and frame.
Bending length: 6000 mm
Full 6000 mm (236 in) bed length allows long panels, frames and beam components to be bent in a single pass. This is critical for applications like structural frames, equipment skids and long sidewalls where seams create extra work and potential alignment issues.
Main motor: Siemens
Industrial Siemens main drive motor provides consistent torque and is widely supported across US industrial service networks, simplifying long-term maintenance and spare parts stocking for your plant.
Hydraulics: Bosch-Rexroth
Bosch-Rexroth hydraulic valves, pumps and related components are specified for high-duty forming cycles. Stable pressure and repeatable flow characteristics help produce predictable bends and reduce cycle-to-cycle variation, especially at the upper end of the tonnage range.
Position feedback: FAGOR scales
FAGOR high-accuracy linear scales provide real-time position data back to the CNC, allowing tight control of ram position and approach depth. This feedback is essential for maintaining angle accuracy and repeatability on long parts with multiple bends and fits.
Crowning: Motorized crowning system
Motorized crowning compensates for elastic deflection in the bed and ram under 500 ton loads. Instead of chasing angles with shims or manual adjustments, the CNC can apply the appropriate crowning value so bends stay straight from left to right across all 6000 mm, even on thick plate and heavy structural profiles.
Axes: 4+1 (per tags)
4+1 axis configuration supports multi-axis control of the ram and backgauge, giving the flexibility to run complex bend sequences, staggered tooling and asymmetric parts. Specific axis travels, speeds and positioning accuracy are defined in the technical specification for your configuration.
Frame & bed construction: heavy welded structure
The frame and bed are designed as a heavy welded structure with machined mounting and reference surfaces. Stiffness is critical at 500 ton; the design focuses on controlling deflection within the expected work envelope so that angle corrections and crowning values remain predictable over time.
Detailed geometry (open height, stroke, throat depth), axis travels, speeds and positioning/straightness tolerances are provided in the project-specific technical data sheet and GA drawing set.
Capabilities & typical applications
The HBC 500/6000 is designed for long, heavy and high-value parts where a misbend is expensive. It can operate as a standalone forming center or as a key station in an integrated fabrication line with upstream cutting and downstream welding and assembly.
- Long panels, frames and enclosures for construction, industrial equipment, process machinery and large skids where straight, accurate bends are critical to final assembly.
- Structural members, beams and profiles for transportation, infrastructure and building components that require 500 ton-class forming loads and tight dimensional control.
- Heavy-gauge brackets, supports, gussets and stiffeners used in mining, energy, material handling and other high-load environments, where incorrect angles can cause downstream weld distortion or fit-up issues.
- Custom weldments and fabricated assemblies that combine plate, profiles and long components, with the press brake acting as the forming step before fit-up and welding.
- High-mix/low-volume projects where flexibility is needed for complex bend sequences on large parts, as well as repeat OEM runs where angles and flange lengths must stay within tight windows over thousands of cycles.
- Production cells with upstream laser, plasma or saw lines, where the brake must keep pace with cutting capacity and not become the bottleneck in the process.
Implementation & support for US shops
We work with US job shops, OEMs and integrators to ensure that each HBC 500/6000 is treated as a production asset from the beginning. Before you commit, we review your parts, materials and expected volumes to confirm that 500 ton / 6000 mm is the correct match and to identify where the brake will sit in your overall process flow.
Implementation support is structured to get your team bending real parts quickly and safely, while building a foundation for long-term, reliable operation.
- Pre-purchase review: evaluation of representative parts, materials and bend lengths to confirm capacity, tonnage requirements and forming feasibility.
- Pre-installation planning: checks for power availability, floor loading, foundations, crane coverage, rigging paths and safe material flow around a 6 m brake.
- Startup & training: commissioning, basic programming assistance and operator training based on your first production jobs, not just sample coupons, so the machine starts earning immediately.
- Ongoing support: guidance on bend sequence optimization, tooling strategies and basic maintenance practices to keep uptime high and protect your investment in the machine.
Next step: send us a sample part or project requirements (material type, thickness, bend lengths and quantities). We will confirm fit and capacity, provide indicative cycle times and recommend a configuration tuned to your application and plant layout.
