Thalmann double folder TC
Meet “Big Mama” – Thalmann TC double folder
The Thalmann TC double folder is synonymous with size, strength, and power. With the VFD design principle, offset geometry of the bending beams, fully automatic gripper system, DFT drive unit, and zone-based crowning for the bending beams, it sets a new standard in double folding.
The ultimate proof of quality and precision
The precision of “Big Mama” is derived from details such as rotary encoders directly on the torsion shaft. The torsion drive shafts eliminate the “twisting” that typically occurs over time. This means that the TC double folder will produce a part with 60 bends with an incredible final deviation of 2 mm!
This powerful machine is ready to handle the most challenging sheet metal processing projects. If you are looking for reliability and performance, the Thalmann TC double folder is the obvious choice. Take the step towards more efficient production with “Big Mama”!

Dynamic folding technology
Significant cost reductions can be achieved through faster bending processes. This is accomplished by having multiple machine axes in motion simultaneously. This innovation is designed to speed up the bending process without losing bending dynamics or accuracy. Dynamic folding technology is the cornerstone of increased productivity and enhanced capacity utilization in every bending operation. The technology with simultaneous movements ensures that stops in the bending process are minimized.
Synchronized drive shafts
Thalmann’s torsion shaft drive system produces bent parts with outstanding precision and reproducibility, unmatched and unique to Thalmann’s bending machines.
The synchronized power transmission is the core of Thalmann’s design concept and is comparable to the mechanical control in modern aircraft. The shafts’ movements are controlled by pulse counters with 5000 positions per revolution. No other bending machine can produce parts with the same accuracy that this technology offers.
Fully automatic gripper system
To further increase the range of possible profile dimensions, a Thalmann TD can be equipped with grippers of different designs. Spring steel back gauge fingers are automatically activated when the minimum back gauge dimension with grippers is undershot.
Multi-Zone crowning of the bending beam
Precisely bent profiles with the same angle along the entire length are what you expect from a good long folding machine. The crowning system with graduated scales on all dials enables quick and accurate adjustments. A Thalmann machine is known for its high accuracy and minimal need for crowning, but when required, angle deviations are adjusted in no time with this innovation.
CNC control system with graphics and touchscreen
10-axis control system from Beckhoff with a 21.5” touchscreen in 16:9 format. The TD’s DS3000 control system can be operated in three modes: manual, semi-automatic, and automatic. In the control system, you can draw your profiles and view them in 3D. The sketch is converted into a bending program with optimal bending sequence calculation and simulation with collision control. It is also possible to load profiles in DXF format and from nuIT. The capability for offline programming on another computer is also included.

Double grippers
With the help of double grippers, it is possible to bend parts down to a length of 200 mm. A second gripper is easily placed next to one or more of the existing grippers.
Spring steel back gauge fingers, which are automatically activated, are advantageously placed on one or both sides of the double gripper.
