Improve work ergonomics and increase quality
The PRO model of CIDAN’s power metal folder is the full package. With 100% duty cycle of forming 9ga at 122″, it is possible to replace two operators with one and still produce parts up to four times faster and with better accuracy compared to a press brake.
Type: Folder Lengths: 102”, 122” or 161” Capacity: 9 gauge
*Machine is rated at 100% full duty cycle in mild steel at 122” in length
Sturdy and intelligent
The CIDAN MEGAPRO metal folding machine has many intelligent functions like automatic adjustment of sheet thickness, folding center, and crowning. MEGAPRO also has an automatic tool locking-system as a standard feature.
Type: Folder Lengths: 122” or 161” Capacity: 1/4"
*Machine is rated at 100% full duty cycle in mild steel at 122” in length
A full-package machine
CIDAN’s FORMA Z model is foremost the most flexible and diverse machine in the CIDAN lineup. FORMA Z folds both up and down to eliminate the need for an operator to flip the material. This provides excellent opportunities for time-efficient folding of complex parts with one operator. While designing the FORMA Z, CIDAN had the priority of making the most complete up/down machine on the market. With the capacity to fold both directions while maintaining the ability for up acting front operation for small batch runs, this machine is proven to be the complete package for sheet metal shops.
Type: Up-down Folder Lengths: 126” or 161” Capacity: 11 gauge
*Machine is rated at 100% full duty cycle in mild steel at 122” in length
High speed and precise
CIDAN’S robust PRO Z is a highly rated up-down metal folding machine for industrial applications. This metal folding machine is foremost for folding complex profiles and heavy material. PRO Z eliminates the need for an operator to flip the material providing opportunities for increased time efficiency.
Type: Up-down Folder Lengths: 126” or 161” Capacity: 9 gauge
*Machine is rated at 100% full duty cycle in mild steel at 122” in length
Our different back gauge systems feature automatic stop units and support heavy material during the metal bending process so the operator doesn’t have to — reducing the risk of injury.
Our flexible PROLINK W software allows for remote offline programming and our universal tooling system eliminates long tool set-ups for operators.
During the metal bending process, our machines won’t leave marks on even the most sensitive material such as stainless steel.
With the Combi beam, our metal folding and bending machines can automatically change between straight and box tools within a few seconds.
One set of universal tooling purchased with the machine will last the lifetime of the metal folder.
Our PROLINK S control system automatically calculates the folding sequence, selects the best tools for selected profiles, and detects collisions.
