Electromagnetic Sheet Metal Bending Brake
- Magnabend
Magnabend offers performance characteristics no
conventional bending brake can match. The unique electromagnetic
design of the keeper clamping system allows you to form many complex
shapes not possible before. Plus, Magnabend can handle all regular
shapes in light ferrous and non-ferrous sheet metal (up to 4'
wide, 18 ga.) in a simpler, less time consuming and efficient
manner.
The rugged simple construction of the Magnabend
brake has incorporating only one moving part assures low maintenance
and versatility for all light duty forming requirements.
A wide variety of complex shapes can be formed with Magnabend.
These include rolled edges up 330°, partial length bends,
closed shapes, unlimited depth for boxes and heavier material
bends (up to 10 ga.) in shorter widths.
Design Features Assure Quality
Simplicity is evident in Magnabend's electromagnetic brake design
which eliminates a conventional upper beam and more complex finger
arrangements. Keepers (clamping members) are simply positioned
over the workpiece and are clamped in place electromagnetically
when the bending beam is raised. Keepers self-adjust for material
thickness as the apron moves.
- Electromagnetic Design Magnabend Designed to eliminate the
hindrance of an upper beam with the introduction of an elongated
electromagnet and keeper system.
- Self Locating A simple and effective method of locating the
full length keeper is achieved by spring-loaded steel locator
balls.
- Triple Hinge System Three hinges allow Magnabend to have a
lighter bending beam without limiting durability and reliability.
- Bend-Angle Gauge Convenient bend angle gauge features adjustable
stop for precise, efficient repeat bends.
- Back Gauge Production efficiency in repeat bends is provided
by adjustable back gauge.
- Safety Features The safety button engages a light magnetic
force on the keeper. As well as a safety device, this force
is a convenient way to stabilize the work piece for precise
measurement before you activate full clamping power.
