Proformer L9716 - 8' 1" X 16 Gauge Industrial Straight Brake

Built to last and to be rebuild able in the real world.  Nose bar, clamp cams, entire clamp assembly, vertical guide assemblies, apron bushings and the apron leaf are all replaceable.

Features:

• Openings at clamp ends allow forming 3 sides of a 2" pan
• All capacities are accurate on a 1-1/2" flange WITH apron angle installed
• Super smooth cam action with near zero "clamp creep" to stay on your mark, even after years of use
• 1/2" minimum reverse bend (1/4" minimum reverse bend may be special ordered)
• 1" beam set back adjustment (Additional set back is optional and will be needed for radii over 1/2")
• 2-1/4" lift of beam at leading edge (EXCEPT: L4816 & L4814 where lift of beam is 1-1/4")
• Six (6) adjustable truss rods for center alignment (EXCEPT: L4816 & L4816: only 4 adjustable truss rods)
• Stop rod for repeat bends included
• All are floor models (EXCEPT L4816 where legs are optional)
• Bolt-on radius bars available for 1/16" through 1/2" radius (1/2" radius = 1" diameter) OR Radius can be added to the leading edge of the nose bar.
• Made in USA
• Three (3) Year Material & Workmanship Warranty
  

Options:  

• Hydraulic Assist for L, U & C Models - The way to form 8' or 10' of 16 gauge or any length heavier gauge up to 10' of 12 gauge mild steel.  $3,500.00 Includes foot switch that can be used from either end of the brake (or deduct $100.00 for frame mounted switch).  You can adjust the speed so that you will achieve a 90° bend in about 8-15 seconds.
• Down Flange - Now you can form down flange shapes including transverse duct by creating openings in apron fingers and table blocks.  Add to the price of any model: 3' & 4' $1,500.00, 5' & 6' $1,900.00, 8' $2,400.00 and 10' $2,700.00.
• Rear Operated Manual Back Gauge - Usable depth of 48", you can bend sheet metal at the same depth time and time again.  Call if you need a depth of more than 48".  Add to price of any model: 3' & 4' $350.00, 5' & 6' $410.00, 8' & 10' $480.00
• Bolt-On Radius Bar 1/16" to 1/2" Radius - 3' &4' $95.00, 5' & 6' $137.00, 8' & 10' $231.00.  Many more radius sizes are available - Call for Quote.  NOTE: Using a Bolt-On Radius Bar requires a Bolt-On Apron Angle if the radius is greater than 1/4" (1/2" Diameter).  See Bolt-On Apron Angle below for availability.  *Bolt-On Radius Bars might not work above 20 gauge mild steel or .050" aluminum.
• Magnetic Radius Bar - Can be used at full rated capacity of the brake and hold themselves on without bolting.  They are also suitable for cutting up into segments for use with finger brakes.  3' $315.00, 4' $368.00, 5' $424.00, 6' $473.00. 8' $578.00 and 10' $683.00
• Radius Fingers - Added to the leading edge of clamp or fingers: 3' & 4' $90.00, 5' & 6' $180.00, 8' & 10' $270.00
• 1/4" Minimum Reverse Bend Apron - If desired, may be ordered and will cost no more on L & U 8' & 10' X 16 Gauge Models.  It is an extra cost on all others: up to 4' $150.00, 5' & 6' $185.00, 8' $245.00, 10' $300.00.  This modification includes machining of the apron to allow 1/4" minimum reverse bends, and a bolt-on insert to build the apron back out to 1/2".  NOTES: The rated capacity of all brakes assumes using all provided inserts and apron angles.  When a brake is used without bolt-on insert, capacity is reduced to 24 gauge.
• Bolt-On Apron Angle - Included on all models except 3' to 6' X 20 Gauge.  For $11.00 per foot you can add a bolt-on apron angle to your 3' to 6' X 20 Gauge Brake.  It will increase the full-length capacity to 18 gauge.  This option will be needed if using a bolt-on radius bar larger than 1/2" diameter on 3' to 6' X 20 gauge models.  All other models already include a bolt-on apron angle.
• Counter Weights - Included on all 16 Gauge, 14 Gauge & 12 Gauge Models and Optional an all others: for 3' &4' X 20 Gauge or 18 Gauge Brakes and 6' X 22 Gauge $50.00 Each, 5' & 6' X 20 Gauge or 18 Gauge $80.00 Each, for 14 Gauge and heavier, Please Call.
• Leg Kit for 3' or 4' X 16 Gauge and Lighter Brakes - (All other models are built-on legs) 55 lbs. $86.00*  EXCEPT: 4' L & U X 16 Gauge Models are available as floor models with welded on legs that weigh 110 lbs. $110.00.
• Special 4" Cut Back Finger - Bends 3/16" mild steel up to 4" wide without adjusting set back or clamp pressure is included with U models and is optional for 16 Gauge BP models.  Up to 14 Gauge $35.00, for 12 Gauge $45.00.
