Description
Umprotech Box & Pan Brake – 96 in · 12 ga Segmented Finger Brake
Heavy-duty segmented finger brake built for US job shops and fabrication cells handling 96 inch panels and 12 gauge mild steel. Designed for forming boxes, pans, and ductwork with flexibility for prototypes and short runs.
Working length: 96 in · Capacity: 12 ga mild steel · Segmented fingers: 1–4 in mix
Key advantages for US buyers
- Full 96 inch working length handles large panels, doors, and duct sections common in HVAC and enclosure work.
- 12 gauge mild steel capacity covers a wide range of fabrication needs; suitable for lighter gauge stainless with reduced capacity.
- Segmented finger set (1–4 in mix) enables forming of complex boxes, pans, and custom profiles without tool changes.
- Adjustable apron and angle stop support repeatable bends and high-mix part production.
- Back-gauge ready for improved accuracy and productivity on repeat jobs.
- Choice of manual, foot, or hydraulic assist clamping to match shop throughput and ergonomics.

Capabilities & typical applications
This box & pan brake is a core tool for forming sheet metal parts in job shops, HVAC contractors, and OEM fabrication cells. It excels in high-mix, low-volume runs and prototype work where flexibility is critical.
- Boxes, pans, and enclosures for electrical, HVAC, and general fabrication
- Ductwork sections, cabinetry, and custom panels up to 96 in long
- Brackets, trays, and structural components in 12 gauge mild steel
- Rapid prototyping and short-run production for contract manufacturing
Implementation & support for US shops
We work closely with US job shops, HVAC contractors, and OEMs to ensure a smooth installation and transition. Our team can review your part drawings and thickness ranges to confirm fit and recommend the right clamping configuration.
We assist with setup tips, finger arrangements, and basic bend sequencing so your team is productive from day one. If you need help integrating a back-gauge or optimizing your forming cell, we’re ready to support your workflow.
- Pre-installation review of power, floor space, and access
- Guidance on finger setup for your typical part mix
- Operator training and best practices for repeatable results
Next step: Send us a few sample part drawings or photos, and we’ll confirm capacity, setup, and best-fit configuration for your shop.
