KAKA INDUSTRIAL Magnetic Pan and Box Brake, 52-Inch Electro Metal Brake Bender, 16-Gauge 6.5-Ton Box and Pan Brake, Bend Boxes or Pans to Any Depth Metal Bending Brake 220V-60HZ-1PH EB-5216 - 173410
KAKA Industrial EB-5216 Manual Magnetic Sheet Metal Brake Overview
The fundamental principle of the Magnetic Bending Machine is that it uses electromagnetic, rather than mechanical clamping system The machine consists of a long electromagnet with a steel clamp bar located above it. The sheet metal is clamped between the two by an electromagnet capable of clamping with a force range of between 3-10 tons. Rotating the bending beam then forms the bend. The sheet is bent around the front edge of the clamping bar They have application in many ways with four various sets clamping bars.
- A strong 6 ton magnet in the bed is activated by foot pedal or push button control to hold down a mild steel clamping bar of almost any configuration across the bed width or bed length.
- The sheet metal is pinned between the magnetic mild steel clamping bar. The bottom bending leaf is lifted to make the bend.
- The steel clamping bar can be made of straight bars (of various widths for tight boxes) for straight bends or segmented clamping bars for box and pan applications of any other configuration such as totally enclosed boxes, triangles, alternate bends on varying planes, round items such as scrolling applications, and much more.
- Great for bending mild steel sheet metal, stainless steel, aluminum, coated materials, and heated plastics.
- The bottom leaf’s bending extension can be removed for the tightest bends. The scaled stroke angle control can be set for repeat bends. Parts supports and adjustable back gauge for production runs, easy to use gap adjustments on the clamping bars for different sheet metal thicknesses.

Maintenance Tips
-
Keep the magnetic surface clean to maintain full clamping strength.
-
Wipe the brake and clamp bars after each use to remove metal dust and residue.
-
Inspect electrical connections and foot pedal regularly for safe operation.
-
Store in a dry, dust-free area to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term reliability.
