USED ROPER WHITNEY AB1016E2 AUTOBRAKE NEW ARRIVAL!! STILL IN THE PROCESS OF GOING THROUGH THE MACHINE.
Folding machines are used to bend, crease and form sheet metal and other flat materials into precise angles and profiles. They range from simple manual folder brakes to CNC-controlled bending centers and production folding lines, supporting varying material thicknesses and lengths. Industries use them for ducts, enclosures, panels and boxes; choose by capacity, tooling, accuracy and cycle speed to match your production needs.
Check rated capacity (material thickness and length), condition of tooling and back gauge, hydraulic or electrical systems, straightness of the bed and ram, control functionality, and maintenance records.
Yes — request a live demo using material similar to your job. Watch for consistent bends, repeatability, control responsiveness and any unusual noises or leaks.
Drain fluids, lock or brace moving parts, protect tooling and controls, crate or block the machine to prevent movement, and use a carrier experienced with heavy sheetmetal equipment. Check dimensions and weight for permits.
Regularly change hydraulic oil and filters, inspect seals and hoses, lubricate guideways and pivot points, check and re-sharpen tooling, verify back gauge alignment and perform control software backups.
