Schroeder ASK II

Details

Designed for professionals who handle more than just simple bends.

Applications & Best uses

Box and Pan Folding (Cassettes)

The defining feature of the ASK II is its fully segmented tooling on the clamping, bottom, and folding beams. This allows for gaps between tools, enabling you to:

Four-Sided Bending: Easily create boxes, covers, trays, and façade cassettes.
Pre-Bent Flanges: Fold complex parts without damaging existing bends.

Architectural Metalwork

A staple in the architectural trade for custom exterior building components:

Window Sills: Form watertight sills with complex crushed folds or safety edges.
Flashings & Profiles: Create roof flashings, wall copings, and chimney claddings.
Guttering: Fabricate specialised brackets and custom end-caps with ease.

The ASK II advantage

Patented Quick-Clamping System

Schroeder’s patented eccentric quick-clamping device on both the clamping and folding beams allows you to change tools or adjust your setup with a single hand movement, resulting in a near-zero re-equipping time and a seamless workflow.

Hands-On Performance:

Two-Stage Clamping Drive: Instantly adjust for different tool heights.
Ergonomic Foot Pedal: Keeps your hands free to position sheet metal with 100% accuracy.
Precision Pipe-Guided Beam: Maintains absolute alignment even when folding high-strength steel.
