Capabilities & typical applications
This box and pan brake is a workhorse for light-gauge forming in job shops, HVAC contractors, and custom fabrication cells. Its segmented design makes it ideal for high-mix, low-volume runs and prototyping.
- Forming boxes, pans, trays, and enclosures up to 48 in wide
- Ductwork, electrical cabinets, and small chassis
- Prototype and repair work for general fabrication
- Suitable for mild steel up to 20 gauge; also works with aluminum and lighter stainless (with reduced capacity)
- Integration in bending/forming cells alongside shears, saws, or turret punches
Implementation & support for US shops
We work closely with US job shops, HVAC contractors, and OEMs to ensure the right fit before purchase. Our team can review your parts, material types, and thicknesses to confirm suitability and recommend the best clamping configuration.
We assist with setup, finger arrangements, and basic bend sequences so your team is productive from day one. If you need to integrate with back-gauges or other shop equipment, we can advise on workflow and layout.
- Pre-installation consultation for floor space, power, and material flow
- Guidance on finger setup and bend strategies for your parts
- Training and handover support available
Next step: Send us a few sample part drawings or photos, and we’ll confirm fit and recommend the right configuration for your shop.
