CIDAN folding machine FX PLUS

CIDAN folding machine FX PLUS is powerful, precise, and virtually indestructible. Equipped with fully welded side frames, clamping beam with eccentric drive, and robust lower beam, the FX PLUS is optimized for maximum productivity, low maintenance costs, and trouble-free operation year after year. The ProLink W control system on CIDAN folding machine FX PLUS makes programming easy, intuitive, and fast. Thanks to this, you get precise control, better overview, easier program storage, and faster operating. Through the panel, you control not only the machine’s operations but also the sheet thickness setting and adjustment of the bending center. This means you can always achieve perfect radius and an almost unique precision for angles and measurements.

Combi beam – rotable upper beam

With the combi beam, which you find on the FX PLUS, it takes only 6.3 seconds to rotate from the straight rail to the segmented tools. The combi beam provides increased flexibility, allowing nearly all profiles to be bent. The opening height of 150 mm applies to both the combi beam and the straight rail.

Adjustable crowning

Adjustable crowning always provides perfect bending results regardless of the length of the workpiece and material thickness.

Big cut-outs in the beams

49 mm in height and 57 mm in width, significantly simplify bending, especially when you need to account for end panels.

Opening height

The machine offers very generous spaces. The opening height of 150 mm and the large Cut-outs in the beams, 49 mm in height and 57 mm in width, provide great flexibility. The height behind the straight rail is also ample to accommodate already bent parts.

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 ProLink 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 ProLink 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.

Motorized backgauge FLEXIBLE

This back gauge is just as the name indicates, flexible, and expandable up to 4200 mm working depth via modules. The base unit has a depth of 1550 mm. The modules then make it possible to change a standard FLEXIBLE to an L-, J-, T- or U-shaped format from scratch or as needed.

The modular system enables a variety of combinations of back gauge tables, so today a tailored back gauge is quite possible. The back gauge is equipped with dual servo motors, ball screws and linear guides for maximum precision. All positions will be exactly the same, time after time. FLEXIBLE back gauge are supplied as standard with 12, 14 or 16 gauging rails, depending on the length of the machine. The back gauge speed enables the productivity to increase and at the same time, decreases the costs of your forming operation. The front stop units are made of spring steel as standard. The stop units can be dropped down automatically in every program row, which prevents any collision with the stop units when the sheets needs to be rotated.

Motorized backgauge BASIC

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).

Ball transfers

Ball transfers on the back gauge assist with the positioning of larger, heavier parts and reduce the risk of scratching the material.

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.

Safety floor scanner

The safety scanner provides extra safety with two modes when operating machine from folding side or gauging side. The scanner prohibits any person to enter the working area where a collision with the folding beam is possible.

OPTION

Segmented radius rail

Segmented Radius Rail (R = 1.5 mm)

OPTION

Tool cart

Safely store the divided tooling for your CIDAN folder. The tool cart is recommended to decrease the risk of damaging tools and misplacing tools during tool changing. It is possible to store divided rails on the cart and there is room for hand tools for the operators and machine instruction manual. The cart is equipped with lockable wheels and pull handles. Especially recommended if the machine is equipped with the Multifold tooling system.

OPTION

Custom tooling

Custom tooling is available for applications requiring large radius work, more workspace clearance, etc.

OPTION
