Description
Umprotech 72in 14ga Box & Pan Brake – Segmented Finger
Heavy-duty box & pan brake with segmented fingers, 72 inch working length, and 14 gauge mild steel capacity. Designed for US fabrication shops handling ductwork, panels, and custom prototypes.
Working length: 72 in · Capacity: 14 gauge mild steel · Finger set: 1–4 in mix
Key advantages for US buyers
- 72 inch working length for full-size duct panels, enclosures, and cabinets
- Handles 14 gauge mild steel (less for stainless), suitable for most HVAC, job shop, and prototyping needs
- Segmented finger set (1–4 in mix) supports complex box, pan, and channel shapes
- Adjustable apron and angle stop for repeatable bends and precise setups
- Counterbalance springs reduce operator fatigue on larger parts
- Back-gauge ready for improved part consistency and workflow integration
Key technical specifications
Working length: 72 in
Accommodates sheet sizes up to 6 ft, ideal for forming panels, ductwork, and large boxes.
Material capacity: 14 gauge mild steel
Forms most common shop materials; for stainless, expect reduced maximum thickness.
Segmented fingers: 1–4 in mix
Allows custom setups for forming boxes, pans, and channels with return flanges.
Adjustable apron & angle stop
Supports repeatable bending angles and quick changeovers between jobs.
Counterbalance springs
Assist with lifting the apron, reducing manual effort on larger or heavier sheets.
Back-gauge ready
Prepared for back-gauge installation to streamline part positioning and accuracy.
Capabilities & typical applications
This box & pan brake is a versatile forming solution for standalone fab cells or as a complement to CNC lasers, shears, and welding stations. Its segmented fingers and 72 inch length make it a mainstay for custom and production work.
- Forming boxes, pans, channels, and custom ductwork
- Production of panels, enclosures, and cabinetry
- Prototype and short-run jobs for job shops and contract fabricators
- HVAC, metal fabrication, and general manufacturing
- High-mix/low-volume work where flexibility and quick setups matter
Implementation & support for US shops
We work closely with US job shops, OEMs, and contractors to ensure a smooth setup. Our team can review your parts, materials, and floor space to confirm the right fit before purchase. We provide guidance on finger setups, bend sequences, and safe operation for your team.
Next step: send us a few sample parts or drawings, and we’ll help confirm capacity, setup, and the best clamping configuration for your workflow.
