Schechtl KSV

Details

Widely considered the global bestseller for sheet metal work. Built as a mechanical, hand-operated swivel bender, its primary advantage is providing exceptional bending capacity and versatility without requiring electrical power.

Applications & Best Uses

The machine’s spacious bending clearance surrounding the clamping beam ensures seamless fabrication of intricate geometries and profiles with extra-long limbs.
Manual Fabrications: up to 1.50 mm mild steel and 2.00 mm aluminium or copper
Hemming and Edge Stiffening: Creating perfectly flat, straight closed hems and stiffening beads (using the optional beading device) to reinforce the strength and safety of sheet metal panels.

The KSV advantage

Superior Rigidity & Hemming Power: features reinforced steel lower and bending beams paired with a solid rolled-profile clamping beam. This advanced structural design maintains absolute rigidity over the full working length without centre crowning deflection.
Industry-Leading Geometry Clearance: It easily clears extended, complex profiles (like deep hat channels or Z-flashings) that would physically crash into the frame of other machines.
Dual-Eccentric Drive & Weight Balancing: The mechanical advantage drastically reduces the physical effort required to lift and clamp, ensuring comfortable, safe, back-friendly operation all day
Perpendicular Clamping System: The KSV features a true perpendicular vertical clamping motion operated by a massive, extra-wide foot pedal, maintaining 100% dimensional accuracy without slipping.
Maintenance-Free: Every single pivot point, bearing, and guideway on the KSV is permanently sealed and maintenance-free.

Standard configuration:

Quick, tool-free adjustment of the clamping beam pressure and folding beam height.
Foot Pedal: For hands-free clamping and operation.
Clamping beam tooling with a 20° sharp rail and 1 mm radius edge.
Clamping beam with a standard opening height of 80 mm.
