Description
The HR 50 is a compact tabletop thermoplastic bending machine with a 500 mm working length, designed for precise bending of thin sheets in workshops, labs and small production runs. It features a single-line lower heating filament, an adjustable parallel backstop and independent controls for heating temperature and working height.

Overview
The HR 50 delivers repeatable, clean bends for materials from 1 to 6 mm thickness. Its single-line bottom heater is height-adjustable to adapt to different material types and thicknesses. Electronic temperature control ensures consistent results across series production and prototyping tasks.

Applications

• Custom signage and POS displays: precise angled folds for display elements.
• Prototyping and design: test models in PC, PMMA and similar thermoplastics.
• Acrylic furniture and decorative items: accurate folding for small-format pieces.
• Light industrial production: short to medium runs of small plastic components.
• Educational and training workshops: practical bench-level bending equipment.

Operation
Operation uses a single-line lower heating filament whose height is adjustable to control heat transfer. Temperature is regulated electronically via an integrated control unit. The adjustable parallel backgauge and two positioning rulers enable repeatable alignment and consistent bend placement without manual recalibration of each part.

Construction and options
The working surface is heat- and scratch-resistant for repeated thermal contact. Compact tabletop footprint (640 × 560 × 105 mm; 18 kg) for easy integration in benches and labs. Optional special bending profile for very thin sheets increases precision. Compatible with a range of BERMAQ accessories to tailor the machine to specific production needs.
