Overview & positioning for US shops
The UmproTech HBF 70/2500 represents the next generation of CNC press brake technology for North American fabrication. With 70 tons of forming force and a 2500 mm working length, it targets shops that need high precision, short setup times and complex part capability more than extreme tonnage.
It is ideal for:
- Job shops running high-mix, low-to-medium volume work with frequent changeovers.
- OEMs producing repeat parts that demand tight angles, consistent flange lengths and clean cosmetics.
- Automation cells where the brake must interface cleanly with robots, conveyors or part positioners.
Typical users include aerospace component manufacturers, heavy equipment builders, architectural metalwork fabricators, defense contractors and contract manufacturers. The DELEM DA-66T graphical CNC provides intuitive, visual programming while the heavy, stress-relieved frame and precision ways maintain accuracy in multi-shift, continuous production.
