The UmproTech HBM 30/1600C is a compact 30 ton CNC press brake with a 1600 mm bending length, engineered for precision sheet metal forming in space-conscious US fabrication environments. With a modern TP10S touchscreen controller, Bosch-Rexroth hydraulics, and a servo-driven back gauge, it is ideal for job shops, prototyping cells, and OEMs that need fast, reliable, and repeatable forming on small to medium-sized parts.
Capacity: 30 ton · Bending length: 1600 mm · Between columns: 1200 mm · Axes: 2 (Y, X) · Controller: TP10S CNC
Overview & positioning
The HBM 30/1600C is positioned as a fast, accurate, and operator-friendly press brake for light-gauge work and smaller parts. It is an excellent fit as a primary machine in compact shops, or as a dedicated “fast-change” cell alongside larger brakes in higher-volume fabrication plants. With 30 tons of forming capacity and a 1600 mm bed, the machine covers a broad range of brackets, covers, enclosures, and small frames without tying up heavier, long-bed equipment.
For US manufacturers focused on high-mix/low-volume production, this model combines the flexibility of a CNC controller with the simplicity of a 2-axis system. Operators can program parts directly at the TP10S touchscreen, store and recall jobs, and switch between part numbers quickly—supporting short runs, prototypes, and repeat orders throughout the day.
Whether you are building electrical enclosures, HVAC components, machine subassemblies, or custom sheet metal parts, the HBM 30/1600C helps reduce setup time, improve consistency between operators, and free up your long-bed brakes for larger or heavier jobs.
Key advantages for US buyers
- 30 ton forming capacity is ideal for light-gauge steel, stainless, and aluminum used in brackets, covers, enclosures, and small frames, providing ample power without oversizing the machine for its typical work.
- 1600 mm (≈63") bending length accommodates a wide range of part sizes—from compact brackets and mounting plates to panels and small cabinets—making it a flexible “all-around” brake for everyday jobs.
- 1200 mm between columns allows generous working access for most small and medium-width parts, while keeping the machine footprint compact for tight floorplans or dedicated forming cells.
- 2-axis CNC with TP10S touchscreen simplifies programming of Y (ram) and X (backgauge) positions, reducing setup time and operator learning curves, and enabling fast job recalls for repeat production.
- Servo-driven back gauge delivers precise, repeatable positioning for flanges and offsets, critical for high-mix part production where consistency between operators and shifts is essential.
- Bosch-Rexroth hydraulic system and Siemens main drive motor provide industrial-grade reliability, smooth ram motion, and easy integration with standard US industrial power systems.
- Compact, cell-ready footprint makes the HBM 30/1600C easy to place next to fiber lasers, turret punches, or welding stations, supporting lean manufacturing layouts and reduced material handling.

Geometry & working envelope
Bending length:
1600 mm nominal bending capacity allows efficient forming of small and medium-length parts, covering many common bracket, cover, and panel sizes without repositioning or multi-stage setups for length alone.
Between columns: 1200 mm
Provides a practical working window for most light-gauge jobs, offering good access for part handling and maintenance, while keeping the overall machine width manageable in tighter shop layouts.
Daylight & stroke (per configuration):
Suitable daylight and stroke support standard upper and lower tools, as well as typical box and channel profiles found in electrical, HVAC, and machinery applications, while preserving ergonomic loading height for operators.
Backgauge range:
The servo-driven backgauge offers travel suitable for short flanges on small parts as well as larger flanges on panels, enabling a single machine to handle a diverse part mix in prototyping and production.
Structure & mechanical design
Frame construction:
A rigid welded steel frame is designed to minimize deflection at 30 ton capacity, providing a stable platform for precision forming. The structural design supports long-term geometric stability under typical production duty.
Ram guidance:
Precision-machined guides and robust ram support maintain parallelism between ram and bed, contributing to consistent bend angles and clean, repeatable results over the full working width.
Tooling interface:
Compatible with industry-standard tooling systems (punches and dies) so existing toolsets can often be reused, and new tools can be selected to match specific bend radii, materials, and part geometries.
Controls, electronics & automation readiness
TP10S CNC controller:
The TP10S touchscreen interface allows operators to enter bend sequences, flange lengths, and angles quickly. Job storage and recall features support repeat production, while clear on-screen prompts help reduce setup errors and operator dependency on handwritten notes or manual calculations.
2-axis CNC control (Y, X):
Closed-loop control of ram depth (Y) and backgauge position (X) ensures that bend angles and flange lengths remain consistent from part to part, even with multiple operators or across multiple shifts.
Servo-driven backgauge:
The servo-driven backgauge offers rapid, accurate positioning between bends, supporting high-mix part runs and allowing you to chain multiple bends into a single, efficient program with minimal manual adjustments.
Industrial electronics:
Siemens motor and industrial-grade electrical components are selected for reliability and serviceability in US manufacturing environments, simplifying maintenance and integration with existing plant systems.
Capabilities & typical applications
The HBM 30/1600C is designed to be your “go-to” machine for light-gauge parts, small to medium panels, and short-run or prototype work. Its compact size and CNC capability make it easy to justify as a dedicated forming cell or satellite machine alongside larger press brakes.
- Brackets, covers, mounting plates, and support angles for machinery and equipment builders.
- Panels and small cabinets for HVAC, control systems, and electrical enclosures.
- Frames, small channels, and profiles for contract manufacturing and job shop projects.
- Prototype and engineering changes, where frequent program edits and quick setups are required.
- Dedicated forming stages in flexible cells with fiber lasers, turret punches, or welding stations.
- Supplementary brake for relieving capacity pressure from larger, long-bed press brakes.
Implementation & support for US shops
We partner with US job shops and OEMs to ensure the HBM 30/1600C is implemented smoothly—from initial evaluation through full production. Before purchase, our team can review your parts, materials, and thickness ranges to confirm that this machine matches your forming requirements and fits your floor plan.
During installation and commissioning, we assist with basic CNC program setup on the TP10S controller, tooling selection, and bend sequence optimization. Training can be delivered on-site or remotely to help your operators achieve fast ramp-up and consistent results.
- Pre-installation review: power requirements, floor space, workflow, and safety considerations.
- Application support: sample part review, tonnage checks, and process recommendations.
- Training and commissioning for operators and programmers on TP10S and best-practice bending.
- Ongoing technical support and guidance as your part mix and production needs evolve.
Next step: Send us representative parts or drawings (DXF/STEP/PDF) along with material types and thicknesses. We’ll confirm fit, estimate cycle times, and recommend the best HBM 30/1600C configuration for your shop.
