Standard Features
- Profile bend lengths from 157″ to 472″ (4000mm to 12000 mm), up to 11 ga. (3mm) material thickness
- Rotational lower beam offering folding angles up to 145°
- 42″ material back gauge
- 10″ opening height between top and bottom tools
- Standard simple touch CNC control software is specifically designed for the long beam bending of cladding, roofing profiles, its easy to program and operate. Touch screen control makes your programs step-by-step allowing for simple repeatability
- Clamping pressure in the standard simple touch controller has a double pressure switch which two defined pressures, 120 bar for normal operation, then 180 bar to close a hem (safe edge), or when folding any max thickness material
- Material slitter comes standard allowing you to make final trimming out of a folded sheet, up to 11ga. 3 mm thick
- Brushless motor for back gauge with encoder
- Double switch foot pedal
- Emergency stop “kick wire”
- Safety operating speed 10 mm/sec
Optional Features
- Command CNC EliteBender – Raise the bar to a higher level with Command CNC EliteBender software. Enable your operators to quickly program parts; simple to complex. Connect the controller to the web for remote assistance anywhere, anytime.
- Safety Laser – Increase the speed of production with finger laser protection. The laser descends without requiring a safety stop.
- Tapered and servo motor back gauge – Produce tapered profiles for gutters, add a servo motor on each finger to make tapered cuts. Increase speed with high precision servo motors.
- Cutting Line LCA1,5 – Cut sheets up to 59″ (1500mm” in width with the cut line. Automatic production by electronic positioner and encoder. Add slitting discs for longitudinal cutting and roller unit for pre-straitening of sheet metal.
- Manual decoiler DC6 – Welded structure decoiler with 6 ton capacity. The decoiler can manually expand the mandrel and regulate speed with a brake.
Production Speeds
With the Stefa long sheet metal folder, tool configuration times are greatly reduced, making it easy for the operator to start the machine and obtain an excellent finished products in less time. These characteristics make this long folder ideal to produce several profiles in small batches.
With the depth of work that this Stefa long sheet metal folding machine can achieve, doors open to handling much larger sheets. Positioning becomes an uncomplicated task since the large part of the sheet is supported on trays and “inside” the machine which frees up the operator and reduces fatigue.
Regardless of material thickness, radius, angle, or sheet quality, there is no need to pre-set tools in a folding machine. Non-use of tools avoids maintenance costs and the purchase of new ones. The geometry of the clamping beam allows you to perform rounds, hems, ‘tear drop’ hem, or open hem without the tooling costs.
2 Machines in 1
The Stefa Long Folding Machine comes standard with an automated cutting sheer. The flexibility to cut the entire length of the machine with a single piece of equipment reduces your overall cost per part. The two laminar slitting disks allow for smooth and burr-free cuts every time.
Just In Time Manufacturing
Need to produce a part in a hurry? With the simple CNC controller, just draw your measurements and you are ready to start running the job. The machine automatically performs material development calculations, and the operator can begin prepping the next job.
Safety
As with any piece of equipment, operator safety is top of mind. The Stefa long sheet metal folding machine ensures that the operator is always alerted to any crushing or other injury risk, with automatic safety alerts: the machine does not allow automatic movements without the operator’s prior input.
Stefa long metal folding machines redefine efficiency, precision, and safety in managing a wide range of materials. They offer unmatched versatility, accommodating various lengths and thicknesses with ease. The machines come equipped with unique features that ensure superior product quality, reduced tool maintenance costs, and enhanced operator safety. With this equipment, you’ll enjoy exceptional results with every work piece.
