Benefits of Folding

During the folding sequence the blank rests on the sheet support table. A gauging system positions the part to the bend line. The upper and lower beam clamp the blank. During the bending cycle the folding beam moves up around a pivot point. On up-down acting machines, the folding beam moves upwards or downwards, depending on the bending direction.

  • The part rests on the table (no fatigue, short cycle times)

  • The gauging system positions the part to the bend line (operator training finished in no-time)

  • Upright posture, easy operation (no health problems)

  • Usually one operator is sufficient even for large, cumbersome and heavy parts (low labor/parts costs

  • Create a part program automatically.

  • Import a STEP, DXF or GEO file with the part geometry.

  • The software analyzes the STEP file and automatically generates a 3D model. For DXF files, the programmer has to add to the bend angle.

  • Overbend angles for springback compensation are added from material tables.
