Start with what the machine is doing
Choose the problem affecting your shop.
Your selection carries into the service request. Add the machine identity and what changed when the problem began.
Bend angles keep changing
Angles vary from part to part, across the bend, or after a tooling or material change.
Request bending accuracy reviewCNC or drive alarm
A controller, servo drive or axis alarm interrupts the job. Include the exact displayed code.
Send a CNC alarm requestBackgauge will not position
The backgauge does not move, misses position, loses reference or gives inconsistent flange lengths.
Request backgauge serviceHydraulic problem
Report an oil leak, pressure warning, overheating, or slow and uneven ram movement.
Request hydraulic serviceOlder control or worn gauge
Review whether repair, a controller replacement or a backgauge upgrade fits the existing machine.
Request a retrofit reviewMake the first conversation useful
Show us the machine.
Show us the fault.
A nameplate, controller model and clear description give the service team a practical starting point. Include the information you already have.
- Identify it. Brand, model, serial number and controller model.
- Describe it. Exact alarm, symptom, when it began and any recent changes.
- Locate it. Service ZIP, best contact and whether the machine is down or still running.
A defined service process
From reported fault to an agreed service scope.
Understand the machine
Review the machine identity, reported symptoms, available records and production impact. Confirm what evidence is still needed.
Define the next evaluation
Determine whether remote evidence review, component identification or an on-site evaluation is appropriate for the case.
Confirm the work
Agree on the proposed service scope, required parts, travel and testing before scheduling repair work.
Repair & modernization
Give an older press brake a considered upgrade path.
If the control or backgauge is limiting useful equipment, request a machine-specific retrofit review. The existing mechanics, hydraulics and feedback system determine what can be integrated.

Press brake repair questions.
How do I start a press brake repair request?
Send the machine brand and model, controller model, reported fault and service ZIP. Add a serial number, nameplate photo, alarm screenshot and existing fault video when available. Tell us whether production has stopped or the machine still runs.
Can you review a press brake from another manufacturer?
Send the nameplate and control model. The service path depends on the exact machine, its documentation, control architecture and parts access. Brand name alone does not confirm compatibility or service availability.
Do you offer on-site press brake service?
On-site service requests are evaluated by machine, issue and location. Travel, scope and technician availability are confirmed before a visit is scheduled. Include your ZIP code and production impact in the request.
What determines the repair estimate?
The scope of diagnosis, machine condition, replacement parts, labor and travel requirements determine the estimate. A description of the symptom starts the review; it does not establish the failed component or final repair scope.
Can an older press brake get a new controller or backgauge?
A retrofit starts with a review of the existing control, mechanics, hydraulics, feedback devices and required work. Controller selection, axis scope and compatibility are confirmed for the specific machine before a retrofit is quoted.
Where do I send photos and video?
Email info@umprotech.com with your machine brand and model in the subject. Attach the nameplate and alarm-screen photos you already have, and include an existing video or a link to it. Add your ZIP and whether the machine is down.
Put the fault in front of the service team.
Machine model. Reported problem. Service ZIP. Start with those details and include the evidence you already have.
Planning pathway
Connect the requirement to the complete machine project
Application and capacity
Define material, geometry, thickness or capacity, production volume, quality, workflow, and future work.
Machine and facility
Compare configuration, controller, options, utilities, extraction, footprint, access, unloading, and placement.
Ownership and support
Confirm price path, delivery, startup, training, warranty, service, parts, financing, rental, used, or trade-in options.
