Schechtl UKV

Details

The UKV is a “multi-talent” strong specialist for small batches and one-off production.

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 UKV advantage

Segmented Versatility: Unlike standard folders, the UKV features segmented tools on all three beams (clamping, lower, and bending), offering “XXL” free space for complex geometries.
Patented Quick-Clamping: Rearrange or remove segments in seconds without any tools or screws, drastically reducing setup times between different profiles.
Stronger Construction: Compared to the UK series, the UKV features reinforced beam elements, allowing it to handle thicker materials (up to 2.0 mm steel) over longer working lengths.
Hands-Free Operation: Includes a standard foot pedal for clamping, allowing the operator to use both hands to position the sheet accurately.
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.
Storage Box: Integrated tray/box for segment storage, which also serves as a workpiece support.

Tools/Options

Higher Segments: Upgrade to 140 mm, 160 mm, or even 180 mm high segments for the upper beam for massive box clearance.
Backgauge Systems: Options for Aluminium T-slot (60–500 mm) or Spur Rack (60–500 mm) for precise repeatability.
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.
