The Ultimate Fully Automatic Wrap Brake: Boost Your Shop’s Output Today


Modernize Your Duct Work Today

The Ductformer Fully Automatic Wrap Brake (DB-60/72) is built to help your shop work much faster. This smart machine takes sheet metal parts and bends them into ‘L’ shapes, ‘U’ shapes, or full boxes. To begin with, it is important to note that this Brake fits into almost any current Duct Line. Therefore, you can upgrade your shop easily without buying all new gear. As a result, you save money while increasing your capacity.

Simple Setup for Better Results

This machine is a great choice for growing businesses. Specifically, it reduces the need for manual labor on every single bend. Consequently, your team can focus on other tasks while the machine handles the heavy lifting. In this way, you can get more done in a single shift than ever before.

Step-by-Step: How the Machine Works

The process is very simple for any operator to learn. First, a metal section moves onto the Conveyor. Then, the machine pauses so the grip feed can grab the part and square it up. Next, the feed moves the metal into the bending area. At this point, it uses a set program to find the right spot, clamps down, and makes a sharp 90-degree bend.

Flexible Bending Options

Following the first bend, the machine can repeat the steps for a full wrap. On the other hand, it can push the part out if you only need an ‘L’ shape. Because the controls are so simple, your team can learn to use it in no time. Furthermore, this flexibility allows you to switch between jobs quickly.

Top Tier Parts and Advanced Tech

We built this machine to last for years of heavy use. For example, it uses a bright color touch screen that is very easy to read. In addition, it has a strong pneumatic system that keeps the pressure steady.

Reliable Shop Solutions

Because of these features, you spend less time fixing the machine and more time finishing jobs. Moreover, it is designed to run all day without slowing down. Overall, it is a reliable workhorse for any busy shop environment.

Fully Automatic Wrap Brake FAQ

What duct shapes can the DB-60/72 produce?

The Ductformer Auto Brake is versatile enough to produce L-shape, U-shape, or Full Wrap duct sections. It automatically calculates the programmed distance for each 90° bend based on your input.

How does the control system integrate with my current line?

The system features a Fully Functional Independent Control System. It can be integrated into any existing line with ease, featuring color Touch Screen controls and AC Vector Motion Control Drives for maintenance-free operation.

What are the material width capacities?

The DB-60 model handles widths up to 60 inches, while the DB-72 handles up to 72 inches. Both models are optimized for TDFC (44″-56″-68″) and Slip & Drive (48″-60-72″) widths.

Does the machine handle pre-notched and rollformed sections?

Yes. The DB-60 (72) receives pre-notched and rollformed sections via an entrance conveyor. The grip feed then squares the part to ensure every fold is perfectly aligned before the hydraulic bending station engages.
