Schröder MAKU 2500 x 2.0 (MAKU)

The motorized folding machine MAKU is the ideal entry into motorized thin sheet metal processing for up to 2.5 mm thick sheet metal. For plumber- and repair workshops this type of machine respresents a very versatile solution – the U in its name stands for „universal“. No other machine on the market offers so much clearances. It is the first machine in the world with a two axis back gauge for automatic conical bending.

Various table and back gauge options

We offer you back gauges and different sheet support table options that are perfect for your requirements. The support plates of the back gauge table can be retracted easily by hand. Thus you create more space. Optionally the back gauge table can equipped with steel balls in order to position the sheet more smoothly. Furthermore, you are able to extend the back gauge with spring fingers. In order to turn the sheet on the table more comfortably we offer you the possibility to lower the back gauge fingers pneumatically.

 

Practical tools and recessed folding beam

The tool system WZS 010 for the MAKU can be acquired optionally and has already been used for many Schröder machines for a long time. The segmented goat’s foot tools enable bending up to 110 mm high boxes. Likewise, a set back folding beam with a cranked folding blade enables new possibilities such as the bending of top-hat and standing seam profiles or trapezoidal sheets.

 

 

Conical bending

The MAKU is also available with a 2 axis back gauge. No matter whether you want to bend parallel or conical! We develop solutions to facilitate your work. So get your MAKU and break new grounds!

Software

nanoTouch

the most clearly laid-out alphanumeric control

 A software invention from Schröder Group and perfect for workshop
and factory application: nano Touch is a modern alphanumeric control that
serves as an optional software for the folding machine MAKU.

“nano Touch”controls the clamping beam and the folding beam using a path measurement
system, and the motorized back stop is controlled via the digitally controlled
frequency inverter. The user interface is clearly laid-out and combines
easy-to-understand icons with text and numerical displays.

POS 2000 Professional

 

the standard for industrial folding machines

The proven POS 2000 Professional makes programming a folding machine fast
and comfortable. The desired program components can be selected from a
comprehensive and expandable catalog, the angle and side dimensions are easily
changed by pressing the monitor.

The control software displays exactly what the machine is doing: The
folding machine, work piece, and tool are displayed schematically and updated
for every bending step. Anyone who programs preparation of the work away from the
machine can test the quality of their program using the bending simulation,
which effectively avoids waste and delays during production.

The software not only controls the machine, but also offers assistance to the user:
all of the necessary operator activities like turning, rotating, etc. are
displayed for each bending step.
