Possible configurations

Ease for the operator

Once programmed, these folders can be operated with minimal effort. The operator simply has to load a sheet and position it against a support, without having to support it in whole or in part. Automatic feeding systems are also available.

Requires few tools

Virtually all bend angles and radii can be obtained with a single tool geometry, even a number of crushed bends.

Start-up time

Start-up times are very quick. You can therefore produce smaller batches of parts just in time, gain efficiency and reduce your inventories.

Folding quality

This type of folding offers great precision and excellent repeatability. Additionally, this method produces very little marking on the parts.
