Description
Umprotech Box & Pan Brake – 60 in, 14 ga, Segmented Fingers
A robust 60 inch box & pan (finger) brake engineered for US job shops, HVAC, and fabrication teams working in mild steel up to 14 gauge. Designed for versatility and repeatable bends on complex parts, this brake is a proven performer for forming boxes, pans, and ductwork.
Working length: 60 in · Capacity: 14 gauge mild steel · Segmented fingers: 1–4 in mix
Key advantages for US buyers
- 60 inch working length supports a wide range of part sizes for panels, boxes, and ductwork.
- Handles 14 gauge mild steel (less for stainless), ideal for HVAC, electrical enclosures, and light fabrication.
- Segmented finger set (1–4 in mix) enables forming of complex shapes, return flanges, and tight boxes.
- Adjustable apron and angle stop ensure repeatable bends and consistent results across production runs.
- Counterbalance springs reduce operator fatigue, especially on longer or heavier panels.
- Back-gauge ready design for improved part positioning and accuracy.
Key technical specifications
Working length: 60 in
Accommodates most common panel, box, and duct sizes used in shop fabrication.
Maximum capacity: 14 gauge mild steel
Suitable for forming typical HVAC, electrical, and light structural parts. For stainless, capacity is reduced.
Segmented fingers: 1–4 in mix
Allows for custom finger setups to form boxes, pans, and parts with return flanges or narrow profiles.
Adjustable apron & angle stop:
Dial in precise bend angles and repeat jobs with confidence.
Counterbalance springs:
Assist with lifting and reduce operator effort on longer or heavier bends.
Back-gauge ready:
Prepared for optional back-gauge installation to improve repeatability and throughput.
Capabilities & typical applications
This 60 inch box & pan brake is a workhorse for standalone forming, prototyping, and production in fabrication shops. It’s a strong fit for shops that need to form a variety of part shapes and sizes without switching tooling.
- Boxes, pans, and enclosures with return flanges or narrow sides
- Ductwork, HVAC parts, and architectural sheet metal
- Electrical cabinets, trays, and custom prototypes
- General job shop and contract fabrication work in mild steel up to 14 gauge
- Short run, high-mix production where flexibility is key
