The new motorized folding machine PowerBend Multi (PBM) is the successor to our well-known and tested MPB. It is an allrounder for thin sheet metal processing. It’s hallmarks: easy and fast handling, high production output and versatile equipment.

Funktion conical bending

The new PowerBend Multi folding machine is equipped with the conical bending function. This means that pluggable profiles can be produced quickly, easily and with a high degree of precision. Plumbers will appreciate this new feature. Because parapet or wall copings, roof edge trims, verge sheets as well as claddings that have a slope are just a few examples of applications in which parts are required that do not run parallel.

Small details, big effect

With the PowerBend Multi, the accuracy of workpiece guidance is ensured via pneumatically lowerable gauge fingers and optional gauge sectors. The rotating clamping beam offers you an alternative machine geometry with new clearances. The gauge table also makes room for you if required: Removable sheet support plates (retractable to 337 mm) create space for counterbends.

Manual central crowning device and folding beam lowering

In order to achieve a consistent bending result over the entire working length, it is important to be able to adjust the folding beam. You can achieve this with the optionally available central crowning, which can be quickly adjusted in just one step. It is also possible to switch between different sheet thicknesses without manual intervention. And thanks to the troublefree adjustment of the folding beam (optionally motorized), processing times can also be shortened.

Set-back folding beam and clamping beam

The set-back folding beam with the cranked folding blade opens up new possibilities such as the folding of top-hat or standing seam profiles. In combination with the option of the rotating clamping beam, it is possible to set back the clamping beam and clamp the sheet. This makes it possible to fold hems in only one working step. The biggest advantage here is the high stability during folding compared to the traditional squeezing with the clamping beam.

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.

nanoTouch

the most clearly laid-out alphanumeric control

The latest software invention from Schröder Group and perfect for workshop
and factory application: nano Touch is a modern alphanumeric control that
serves as the standard software for the folding machines MAK V,
and MAKV S.

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.
