Extremely long machines for extremely long profiles

Long machines

This press brake, which was installed in September 2005, produces construction extension profiles up to 10 m long for roofs, walls, and facades. Because only thin sheets are bent, the machine suffices with press tonnage of "only" 400 t. The rear upholding device for the sheet and the front support brackets prevent the long, thin sheets from slacking. This guarantees careful and precise machining and also enables safe handling.

Long profiles

The upholding device must not collide with the backstop. A special backstop construction is used for this purpose which provides for sufficient freedom of movement.
