The two folding rails

CIDAN F have the narrowest folding rail on the market which gives you precision, finish and flexibility, even for very fine gauge measurements. With keyholes for fast changes.

Opening height

The machine is generously designed with opening height of 150 mm and the large recesses in the clamping beam, 49 mm high and 57 mm wide, allowing greater flexibility. The height behind the straight rail is also well sized to make room for already folded details.

XSPACE

CIDAN XSPACE gives you far greater freedom to design and fold your profiles. XSPACE is the folding beam with an indented angle below the folding point giving you extra space around the tools.

You can now easily make profiles that were previously difficult or impossible to fold and without risk of collisions. The 15 mm extra space below the folding beam rail allows you to fold trapezoid profiles, z-profiles and hat profiles. There is no need to “force” the material into the machine, ergonomics are improved and safety increased. You get higher precision with no effort. All the machine’s features function as normal. The XSPACE-beam is of course equipped with crowning for zero angle deviations for long profiles. All machines in the F-serie can be equipped with XSPACE and there are three different folding beam rails: 10, 12 and 25 mm. Enjoy greater freedom with extra space around the folding beam, XSPACE gives you all the space you need.

Motorized backgauge BASIC

The backgauge is designed to position the material so that exact measurements are achieved on the folded part.

The BASIC back gauge is a cost effective back gauge without the customization capabilities of the FLEXIBLE system. Designed specifically for the F, FS and FX, the BASIC 26 is equipped with 8×2 stop units, BASIC 32 with 10×2 stops units and BASIC 41 has 12×2 stop units. First row stop units are made of spring steel as standard and solid steel as an option. The back gauge has one servo motor and belt drives on both sides and it takes two seconds to get an exact position between 3 and 1050 mm (.12″–41.34″). All the stop units can drop down automatically to avoid collision when the material needs to be rotated on the table, (ball transfers are available as option).

Steel ball transfer

Steel ball transfers in the back gauge table for easier moving and positioning of larger sheets, and at the same time minimizes the risk of scratches to the material. (Standard on FLEXIBLE and option for BASIC.)

Brushes in the table

Brushes on the back gauge are ideal when positioning sheets of sensitive material such as aluminum and stain less steel. (Option for FLEXIBLE).

Moveable foot pedal on rail

Allows the operator to move the foot pedal quickly and smoothly along the folding area. Appropriate when folding is done with several folding stations. Especially recommended if the machine is equipped with Multifold. This option is considered a great safety feature when bolted to the floor. When operator engages foot pedal, they are away from the upcoming folding beam.

Roller shear (F41)

The shear is installed on the upper beam and is easy to mantle and dismantle. This is how it works: You program the control system how wide strip/strips you would like to shear off. Then you load the flat sheet on the back gauge that pushes it out to the right position and you clamp the sheet. You push the roller shear sideways shearing the strip off. After a few quick hits on the pedal the sheet is moved out to the next position, clamped and ready for roller shearing or folding.

XTAP – conical bending

CIDAN FLEXIBLE is our new back gauge that is now available with angled gauge positioning for conical bending, XTAP. With a back gauge fitted with XTAP gauge, positions can be set automatically using the nuLink control system – perfect for fast and efficient production of cappings and other details without parallel sides or for profiles with easy and optimal overlap and no trimming. Just enter your values in the nuLink control system and your profiles will have perfect angles and results totally automatically! Faster, smarter and what is more, with higher quality all included!

Manual conical bending

CIDAN back gauge can also be equipped with two special fingers for conical bending. These adjustable fingers are placed at the edges of the back gauge and facilitate manual conical bending.
