Clamping beam

• Clamping beam package: one-stage clamping beam drive for 130 mm tool height, including clamping and adapter rail (clamping rail from standard configuration dropped).

Classic Bend – NC Programming

The most clearly laid-out alphanumeric control

We developed the modern Classic Bend alphanumeric control as the standard software for craftsmen and industrial manufacturers who use folding machines like MAKU and PowerBend Universal.

Classic Bend controls the clamping beam and the folding beam using a path measurement system, and the motorised 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.

Do you need unified bending programs for metal sheets of different quality? Special programs no longer need to be created in case of material-dependent deviations when using Classic Bend. The option to enter corrections to settings for the clamping beam and the folding beam is available for each bend.

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 catalogue, 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, workpiece, and tool are shown schematically and updated for every bending step. Anyone who programs the 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.

MAKU is the ideal entry point for motorised thin-sheet metal processing up to 2 mm thick. For plumbers and repair workshops, this type of machine represents a very versatile solution—the U in its name stands for „universal. ” No other machine on the market offers so many clearances. It is the first machine in the world with a two-axis back gauge for automatic conical bending.
