Nesta Equipment, proven sales partner of the Schröder Group, exhibited a Schröder folding machine with remarkable features at Global Industrie. From March 11 to 14, 2025, a PowerBend Professional UD was on display at booth 6G63 at Euroexpo Lyon. The machine is very popular with both industrial and trade users. At the trade fair in Lyon, it is fully equipped and at the same time representative of a range of innovative technologies from the Schröder Group.
The Schröder machine exhibited by Nesta Equipment at Global Industrie 2025 bends 2.5 mm thick sheets over a working length of 4040 mm. Thanks to the up-and-down folding beam, counter bends can be made without turning the sheet. This makes operation much easier, especially with large sheets. In conjunction with the suction plate stop, this also enables partial automation. Once the sheet has been bent, all bends on one side are carried out automatically without any further manual intervention.
Motorized central crowning for the folding beam, motorized folding beam adjustment and bending center point adjustment as well as high-quality drives ensure precision and high repeat accuracy. The 3D graphic control POS 3000, which is operated via a 19″ TFT touch screen color display on the swiveling arm, offers several advantages to make the production process more efficient.
In addition to the semi-automatic processing of bending programs, the so-called radius step bending function is also impressive. Here, curves are created by the upper beam pressing the sheet in any number of fine steps against an angle created with the bending beam. With a stroke of 540 mm, the upper beam offers plenty of space.
On show at the trade fair: The version of the rotating upper beam, which allows you to switch between two tool stations in no time at all.
