Schroeder MODULAR

Details

The Combinable, High-Performance Long-Profile Manual Folder for Workshop and On-Site Specialists.

It’s the ultimate evolution in flexible sheet metal processing, designed for precise folding of extra-long sheet profiles. By allowing two or more individual modular machines to be connected in seconds.

Applications & Best uses

The machine’s application flexibility comes down to its modular scalability and expansive free space.

Long Architectural Flashings & Roof Profiles: Specifically engineered for plumbers, tinsmiths, and roofers to produce continuous, extra-long ridge caps, valley flashings, and edge trims without seams.
Facade & Wall Cladding Panels: Easily bend long exterior panels on-site, eliminating shipping damage and transportation challenges associated with pre-folded long parts.
Complex Profiles & Reverse Bends: Generous free space behind and around the bending beams enables complex profile geometries that would collide with standard folding machinery.
On-Site Slicing, Hemming & Seaming: With optional multi-function tooling, operators can shear sheets straight on the machine and close standing seam edges cleanly without needing separate tools.

The MODULAR advantage

Modular Linkage System

Schroeder’s quick-coupling design allows you to connect two or more basic modules (available in 2,000 mm or 3,000 mm lengths) into one continuous, perfectly aligned long folding machine. Use them individually in the shop, or link them together when job specifications call for extreme lengths.

Hands-On Performance:

Jobsite Mobility & Stability: Heavy-duty, lockable steering castors (4 or 6 per unit depending on length) allow the folder to roll smoothly across shop floors or site environments and lock rigidly into place.

Precision Repeat Stops: Two horizontally sliding stop arms featuring T-slots, integrated millimeter scales, and tipping finger stops ensure exact, repeatable positioning for fast production runs.
Integrated Slitter & Seam Closer: Optional cutting heads shear sheet metal cleanly while clamped. An optional multi-function head combines cutting, profiling, beading, and edge-closing in one continuous pass.
Deep Insertion Clearance: A standard inserting depth of 670 mm across the entire length provides maximum material support when handling wide sheet coils.

Standard configuration:

Capacity: Bends up to 0.8 mm (Steel St37) / 1.0 mm (Copper / Aluminum, 250 N/mm²)
Clamping beam stroke: 55 mm
Inserting depth: 670 mm over the complete machine length
Angle indicator: Integrated on the right side (additional left-side indicator optional)
Mobility: Mounted on 4 or 6 lockable steering castors

Technical Data

FRIBESCO’s reasons:

Why Choose the MODULAR folder?

✅ Seamless Modular Linkage: Connect two or more base modules (2,000 mm or 3,000 mm) to fold extra-long continuous profiles
✅ Extended 670 mm Insertion Depth: Full-length insertion depth provides maximum material support and stability when working with wide sheet coils.
✅ On-Site & Workshop Mobility: Heavy-duty, lockable steering castors allow you to roll the machine smoothly into position and lock it rigid for high-precision bending anywhere.
✅ Precision Repeat Stops: Dual T-slot stop arms with integrated millimetre scales and tipping finger stops ensure fast, exact repeatability on complex profiles.
✅ Integrated Cutting & Finishing: Shear sheets cleanly and close standing seams directly on the clamping beam using optional slide-on multi-function heads.

The Schroeder folder gives professional roofers the edge: faster throughout, consistent accuracy, and long-term reliability.
