UmproTech HBF 90/2500 – 90 Ton 6-Axis CNC Press Brake, 2500 mm
The UmproTech HBF 90/2500 is a 90 ton, 2500 mm 6-axis CNC press brake engineered for US job shops, OEMs and fabrication cells that run high-mix, high-precision work all day. With a DELEM DA-66T graphical controller, full 6-axis backgauge and a rigid welded frame, it is built to handle heavier gauges and more demanding part geometries than light-duty brakes – while keeping setup time and scrap under control.
Capacity: 90 ton · Bending length: 2500 mm · Axes: 6 (Y1/Y2, X, R, Z1, Z2) · Controller: DELEM DA-66T CNC
Overview & positioning for US shops
The UmproTech HBF 90/2500 sits in the “sweet spot” for many North American fabrication and OEM plants: more tonnage and stiffness than light 40–50 ton brakes, but still compact enough for flexible cells and short-run, high-mix work. Its 90 ton capacity and 2500 mm working length are sized for heavier-gauge stainless and mild steel parts, structural brackets, base frames, and thicker enclosure components.
It targets shops that:
- Run high-mix work in mild steel, stainless and aluminum up through heavier thicknesses.
- Need tight angles and repeatable flange lengths on parts that are too heavy for light brakes.
- Rely on staged tooling and 6-axis backgauge positioning to minimize changeovers.
- Want an automation-ready brake that can drop into robot cells and networked production environments.
The DELEM DA-66T graphical CNC gives programmers and operators a visual, simulation-driven workflow; the heavy, stress-relieved frame and precision ways keep the machine in tolerance through multiple shifts and years of production.
Why US buyers choose the HBF 90/2500
- 90 ton forming window: covers heavier gauges and higher-strength materials than 50–70 ton brakes, ideal for structural brackets, thicker panels and heavy-duty components.
- 2500 mm working length: supports medium-format panels, cabinets, frames and structural components with minimal repositioning.
- True 6-axis backgauge (Y1, Y2, X, R, Z1, Z2): supports asymmetric parts, staged tooling and complex bend sequences with fewer setups.
- DELEM DA-66T control: touchscreen HMI with 2D/3D programming, bend simulation and collision checks to cut down on trial parts.
- Servo-driven backgauge: high-speed, precise positioning for tight-tolerance production and high-mix, low-volume work.
- Heavy welded, stress-relieved frame: minimized deflection and long-term geometric stability even at higher loads.
- Automation-ready architecture: standard fieldbus and Ethernet interfaces for robotic loading/unloading and cell integration.
- High-resolution linear scales: direct feedback on ram position for closed-loop angle and flange control.
- Quick-change tooling system: supports American and European-style tooling to match your existing tool crib.
- Integrated safety package: light curtains, guards, e-stops and dual-hand controls aligned with US practices.
- Energy-optimized hydraulics: variable displacement pump reduces power consumption and heat load.
- Standard 480V, 3-phase, 60 Hz: plugs into North American industrial power without special transformers.

Extended technical FAQ
What facility requirements should we plan for?
You’ll need a reinforced concrete floor or foundation, 480 V / 3-phase / 60 Hz power, a clean compressed air supply, and enough overhead and side clearance for material handling and crane or lift access. Detailed foundation and utility data are provided with your order.
How difficult is it to program and run?
The DELEM DA-66T interface is designed for production shops, not just programmers. Operators with basic CNC experience typically become productive in a few days, and the graphical interface helps standardize best practices across shifts.
How does the 6-axis backgauge improve accuracy and throughput?
Independent Y1/Y2, X, R and Z1/Z2 control allow precise finger positioning, automatic adjustment for different flange heights and full support for staged tooling. This reduces part handling, manual gauging and rework, especially on complex parts.
What maintenance routines are recommended?
Daily checks (fluid levels, visual inspections), weekly lubrication and inspection of moving components, periodic hydraulic filter and oil checks, and an annual in-depth service by qualified technicians. Maintenance schedules and checklists are included in the manuals.
Can the HBF 90/2500 be integrated with robots or part handling systems?
Yes. Standard automation interfaces and I/O, plus experience with common robot platforms, make it suitable for automated or semi-automated cells. Integration details are clarified during the project phase.
What setup times should we expect between jobs?
Depending on part complexity and tooling changes, most shops see changeovers in the 5–20 minute range. Tooling strategies, staged tools and job memory within the DA-66T help keep setups short and repeatable.
What standards and safety concepts does the machine follow?
The brake is designed with reference to ANSI B11.3 principles for press brakes and uses CE-marked safety components. Safety and compliance documentation can be supplied for your internal reviews.
What uptime can we expect?
With proper maintenance and operation within its rated envelope, the HBF 90/2500 is engineered for 95%+ uptime in continuous production environments, backed by regional service and parts availability.
How does it manage different materials and thicknesses?
The DA-66T control supports material libraries and custom material profiles. Combined with accurate hydraulic pressure control and CNC crowning, this allows consistent bends across different gauges and alloys, once parameters are dialed in.
