UpDown Folders

Up/down folding machines for precision parts, large sheet, and two-sided work without flipping.

For Your Shop

Bend up and down without flipping the sheet. One program, repeatable parts, and an operator who does not have to be your most experienced hand.

What This Solves

Built for shop-floor problems

The old way

With RAS

Every panel goes back and forth on the press brake, flip, re-square, bend, flip again. Big sheets take two people and still come out inconsistent.

✓

RAS UpDown folding bends both directions without turning the part over. Automated gauging and suction-bar positioning handle the sheet so one operator runs large panels start to finish.

Cut handling steps and second-person lifts on large panels

Complex parts depend on my best brake operator. When he is out, quality drops and the schedule slips.

✓

Bendex programming and one-click setup turn a complex fold sequence into a repeatable program any operator can run, the machine holds the angle and gauging, not the person.

New operators run complex parts at consistent quality

Thick or oversized sheet metal fights my press brake, I either tie up the big brake or send the work out.

✓

The MEGAbend folds thick, large sheet up to 6 mm mild steel with automated gauging, so heavy panel work stays in-house instead of going to an outside vendor.
