Details
The Ultimate Solution for Deep Boxes and Complex Profiles.
Applications & Best Uses
- Complex Box Forms: Perfect for fabricating boxes, cassettes, and trays that require bending on all four sides.
- Detailed Architectural Profiles: Used extensively in roof and facade construction for custom flashings and chimney caps.
- Custom Metalwork: Ideal for automotive chassis work, switch boxes, and prototypes where precision joining is required.
The UKF advantage
- Segmented Versatility: Unlike standard folders, the UKF features segmented tools on all three beams (clamping, lower, and bending), offering “XXL” free space for complex geometries.
- Patented Quick-Clamping: Equipped with the original Schechtl quick-clamping system, allowing operators to change and position segments in seconds without the need for additional tools.
- Highly Adjustable: Features quick, tool-free adjustment for clamping pressure and bending beam lowering to easily adapt to different material thicknesses.
- Hands-Free Operation: A convenient foot pedal controls the clamping beam, leaving both hands free to align and secure the sheet metal precisely.
- Maintenance-Free: Built with durable steel welded frames and maintenance-free bearings for long-term industrial reliability.
Standard configuration:
- Quick Clamping System: Patented tool-free adjustment for segments on the clamping, lower, and bending beams.
- Quick, tool-free adjustment of the clamping beam clamping pressure.
- Tool-free adjustment for lowering the bending beam.
- Foot Pedal: For hands-free clamping and operation.
- Bending Angle Limitation: A mechanical stop for consistent, recurring bending operations.
- Segment Radius: Standard segments on the clamping beam come with a 1.1 mm radius.
- Clamping beam segments of 160mm, Bending and lower beam 120mm.
- Storage Box: Includes a practical storage box for accessories and tools that doubles as a sturdy sheet support during operation.
Tools/Options
- Higher Segments: Upgrade to 180 mm-high segments on the clamping beam for massive box clearance.
- Universal Backgauge Table UA125: A mobile support table for handling larger sheets.
- Window Sill Inserts: Standard (3x) or Variable (6x) versions for specialised architectural work.
- Radius Segments: Exchangeable 2.0 mm or 3.0 mm radius tools for bending sensitive materials without surface damage.
- Castor wheels: make it mobile and roll it into position when needed.
