KNOW-HOW FOLDING The most common bending techniques are press brake bending and folding. On a press brake, the punch moves into the die. The workpiece has to be followed up with effort. Large parts require two or more operators. A gauging system positions the part to the bend line. The upper beam and lower beam clamp the material. During the bending cycle the folding beam moves up around a pivot point. For machines equipped with bi-directional bending, the folding beam can either move up or down depending on the bending direction. The long flange of the part remains on the Folding sequence: Position...

You will find no scratches on the material surface – ideal Advanced automated folding machines come with an for stainless steel...

BENDING Bending radii A radius can easily be created using a folder with small bending steps. By using small steps the outside of the radius will be very smooth and the individual steps will not be visible. As there are only very slight relative movements between the tool and the material surface, the tooling shows no abrasion wear even after years of use. Bending hems Folding does not require special tools for hemming. Open or closed hems can be created. With folding technology, the folding beam tools touch the outside of the material and move exactly to the programmed angle. This angle reference...

Multibend-Center BENDING CENTERS Office software with one-click programming starting from a STEP, DXF, or GEO file of the part. No expert knowledge required. Fast, safe, precise. The 3D simulation shows the folding sequence and possible collisions. New products can already be evaluated during the design process. Fully automated bending cycles: positioning, rotating, bending, and tool changing The best bending sequences are shown according to the highest 5-star ranking.

Speed and highest productivity characterize the Multibend Center. If you want to bend precision parts, fully automatically, at high speeds, in high quantity, regardless of batch size, with the highest levels of flexibility and total repeatability, welcome to the next level of metal fabrication. Due to highest levels of precision and Scratch-free bending of sensitive mate- repeatability, the parts are suitable rials. No tool wear. Four-sided boxes can be as tall as 203 mm.
