With 110 tons of forming force, a 2500 mm (98.4") bending length, and a DELEM DA-66T graphical controller, it is purpose-built for high-mix, tight-tolerance work where uptime, repeatability, and fast changeovers directly impact profitability.
Capacity: 110 ton · Bending length: 2500 mm (98.4") · Axes: 6 (Y1, Y2, X, R, Z1, Z2) · Controller: DELEM DA-66T CNC · Hydraulics: Bosch-Rexroth
Overview & positioning
The UmproTech HBF 110/2500 is positioned for US job shops, fabrication plants, and OEM facilities that need more forming power and rigidity than light-duty brakes, but still require the flexibility and footprint of a 2500 mm machine. It bridges the gap between compact 50–70 ton models and large, long-bed brakes, making it an ideal “workhorse” for medium-format, higher-thickness parts.
With its 110 ton capacity, 6-axis backgauge and DA-66T control, the HBF 110/2500 is especially suited for:
- Shops bending thicker mild steel and stainless parts in medium lengths with tight angle tolerances.
- Mixed production environments that switch frequently between brackets, frames, panels, and welded assemblies.
- Cells integrating fiber lasers, turret punches, and welding stations in a lean, flow-oriented layout.
- OEMs that must maintain repeatable quality across multiple shifts and operators.
The combination of Bosch-Rexroth hydraulics, a rigid welded frame, and closed-loop position feedback gives the machine the stability required for demanding industrial environments, while the DELEM DA-66T keeps programming and operation approachable for production teams.
Key advantages for US buyers
- 110 ton forming capacity handles thicker gauge mild steel and stainless for structural brackets, frames, and heavier enclosures.
- 2500 mm (98.4") bending length supports standard sheet widths, medium-length parts, and multi-station staged tooling setups.
- Full 6-axis CNC backgauge (Y1, Y2, X, R, Z1, Z2) enables complex geometries, asymmetric bending, and flexible finger positioning.
- DELEM DA-66T touchscreen with graphical programming, 2D/3D simulation, and bend sequence optimization reduces setup time and scrap.
- Bosch-Rexroth hydraulic components deliver stable pressure, smooth ram motion, and long service life in harsh production environments.
- Servo-driven backgauge ensures fast, precise X/R/Z repositioning for high-mix/low-volume as well as repeat runs.
- Heavy welded, stress-relieved frame minimizes deflection for consistent angles across the full 2500 mm length.
- Automation-ready design with Ethernet, fieldbus, and I/O interfaces for robotic tending and conveyor integration.
- Standard 480 V / 3-phase / 60 Hz electrical service fits US industrial power without special transformers.
- Integrated safety package (light curtains, guards, dual-hand control, e-stops) aligned with US press brake safety practices.

The machine is equally at home running prototype parts, short batches, and medium-volume repeat orders. High-mix shops benefit from the combination of quick changeovers, programmed job recall, and staged tooling, allowing multiple part families to run on the same brake with minimal downtime.
Implementation, integration, ROI & support
Implementation starts with pre-install planning: foundation review, power checks, and layout planning to align the brake with upstream cutting and downstream welding or assembly operations. With proper site preparation and rigging, many US shops can move from delivery to production in a matter of days.
Operator and programmer training covers DELEM control use, part programming, material handling, basic maintenance and safety procedures. Training can be conducted on-site or at regional facilities, and is supported by digital and printed documentation.
Return-on-investment calculations typically show payback periods driven by reduced setup time, fewer scrap parts, improved angle consistency, and the ability to bring more complex work in-house. The machine’s automation-ready design provides a path to further productivity gains as volumes grow.
