Folding & trimming up to 12,000mm width sheets, with 3mm of thickness

A Long beam folding machine is a specialist machine created for the folding of long products used primarily in the manufacture of building cladding, roofing products, such as single skin profiles, purlins, mounting rail systems, composite panels, twin skin systems etc, where its common to require long fold lengths ranging from 4000 mm up to 12000 mm of steel sheets x 3 mm in thickness

A long beam folding machine uses the simple concept of all folding machines, this being that the sheet material is clamped between the top beam tooling and the lower rotational angle bending beams flat surface, the lower bending beam then is rotated upwards against the clamped material to produce the required bend angle.

This simple bending, folding procedure enables working on delicate surfaces without damaging the product, as is the case with thinner steel sheets, between 0.5 to 0.8 mm, or coated and lacquered steel sheets. long beam folders can work with metal sheets up to a thicknesses, of 3 mm.

Long beam folding machine
Long beam folding machine suitable for the manufacture of cladding, roofing profiles such as: single skin profiles, twin skin systems, purlins, mounting rail systems, composite panels.

Standard Specification:

Profile bend lengths of 4000 mm to 12000 mm, upto 3 mm material thickness
Rotational lower beam offering folding angles to 145°
Material back-gauge of 1070 mm stroke
260 mm open height between top & bottom tools
The standard ‘Simple Touch’ CNC control software is specifically designed for the long beam bending of cladding, roofing profiles, it’s easy to program and operate, ‘Touch screen’ control, make your programs step by step, memorize them for later use
Clamping Pressure In the standard ‘Simple Touch’ controller has a double pressure switch with two defined pressures, 120 bar for normal operations, then 180 bar to close a hem [safe edge],or when folding any max thickness material
The longitudinal sheet cutter is available to make a final
trimming cut of a folded sheet, up to 3 mm thick.
The adjustment of the required gap between the 2 circular cutting blades is made by a simple lever movement
Brush-less motor for backgauge with encoder
Double switch foot pedal
Emergency stop “kick wire”
Safety operating speed 10 mm/sec
