Electric swivel folding machine SBS series

automatic

The SBS Series incorporates a twin motor (Left and Right) direct drive system for the folding beam. This allows the system to be fast and extremely accurate. The twin motor design is capable of bending speeds up to 90 degrees per second. This design also eliminates torque build up commonly found on competitor’s chain drive folders. Torque build on a chain drive design will lead to uneven or “fade out” bends. The “fade out” is especially noticeable, on chain drive machines, when forming radius profiles. The SBS result, straight more even part production. Another advantage to this system is maintenance. Unlike with a chain drive folder, there are no adjustments needed to the SBS drive system. For maximum hemming capacity, a strong feature of the Tennsmith SBS Series is the center drive of the clamping system. The placement of the motor in the center of the machine maximizes power while reducing torque loss through the drive shaft. The twin support legs of the SBS provide positive resistance to the floor enhancing machine rigidity. The center placement of the clamping motor also benefits the forming of radius profiles. To achieve consistent radial shapes, it is very important to have even clamping pressure. Equal clamping pressure will ensure the part is formed evenly throughout the entire profile. The SBS Series come standard with crowning system. This crowning system gives owners the most complete adjustment of any standard sheet metal folder on the market today. Gone are the days of shimming your machine to achieve straight bends. The crowning system is easily adjusted and has a scaled face plate that reads 0 to 0.030”.
