The last 6 months have been tough on nearly every sector with latest figures confirming the UK is officially back in a recession. Now more than ever your bending machines need to produce accurate bends first time, on time but obsolete or inadequate controls can seriously hinder the ability of many older bending machines to do so.

As is often the case, a client presents with a specification request that is outside of the normal limits of available technology. In this instance, the client needed to bend very tight radius profiles which limited the diameter of the top roll.

Plate Bending Machines for sheet metal are increasing in size every year. To meet the new demands of the market, SweBend has designed and built a new 3-roll plate bending machine with BlueTooth control delivering 1700 ton in prebending force and a rolling capacity of 4050x105mm.

Often the mechanics of a machine will outlast the electrics many times over which means controls can become obsolete or inadequate. This can cause serious limitations to both production rates and the precision performance of your bending machine.
