High performance, semi-automatic folding for high accuracy of complex profiles
Features
The SPB Evolution with universal tooling gives you total flexibility from a single tool set, drastically reducing tool change, with greatly increased part profile capabilities. Eliminate part flipping, part whip, and multiple operators with bi-directional folding and ergonomic automation. Since material variance has virtually no impact on part accuracies, you get parts with superior quality, and automated operation removes operator influence over part quality. If you want the capability to go from part to part to part in today’s demanding environment, Schroeder is a great choice.
Schroeder has been leading the industry with innovative advancements to folding for decades. They were the first to introduce bi-directional folding back in 2004 at EuroBLECH in Hannover Germany. In 2008, the introduction of the EVOLUTION series of bi-directional folder began recasting folding technology as we know it.
Minimum inside bend radii (IBR), short flanges, strokes and open heights, and speed, were all factors that prevented companies from adopting folding as standard shop-floor technology. The EVO evolved past those limiting factors. It is the first folder that allowed for an IBR of less than material thickness, flange lengths of 3x material thickness or less, offered standard stroke and opens of 33-1/2”, and up to 63-1/2” as an option, all while achieving bending speeds up to 150° per second, and clamping beam speeds approaching 300 IPM. Servo driven planetary drives and ball screws driving 13 axes bring unmatched speed and precision to a market hungry for lean, innovative bending technology.
