Bending & Folding Machine — Bend, Fold and Tear Testing
A testing machine rather than a fabrication one. It bends and folds steel specimens and tears samples, so plate can be proved before it goes into service. The bed and tooling are built to suit the plate rather than to a fixed working length, and a specimen can be folded right back on itself through 180 degrees.
Every Bending & Folding Machine is engineered to your process at our Pithampur works near Indore and supplied to plants across India. Capacity, stroke, opening and control scheme are fixed against your material and your cycle time before fabrication begins, and the machine is trial run at the works before despatch.
