Tool cart

Safely store the divided tooling for your CIDAN folding machine. 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.

Safety light

The safety light on the folding side increases the security when operating the machine from the back gauge side. The safety light prohibits any person to enter the working area where a collision with the folding beam is possible.

Rail for foot pedal

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.

C-shaped high divided tools

With C-shaped tools you can fold deeper profiles than with standard tools or straight rail.

Height adjustable backgauge

Our robust back gauge system AGS can be supplied with height adjustment as an option. This is perfect for gauging reverse z-flanges on the back gauge.

Ball casters or brush tables

In the standard execution the backstop tables are equipped with steel ball casters.

Sensitive surface or prepainted material without plastic foil protection might require a brush table (option) instead of the ball caster solution. Smooth to the surface, simple to clean.

Different backgauge configurations

For large applications like panels, doors and cabinets, we recommend a J-shaped or U-shaped back gauge. With the expandable back gauge table, the operator can choose to work either at the folding or gauging side of the machine. Even 3 and 4 m parts can easily be handled by one operator. A standard AGS back gauge table can be expanded to a J-, L-or U-shaped back gauge table afterwards.
