EvoBend Up/Down Folders

The Evobend’s efficiency is achieved in three primary ways:

1. Traditional bending beams are generally equipped with regular bearings – the Evobend, however, is completely ball bearing mounted. The friction coefficient of regular bearings to ball bearing is 1:10, therefore the Evobend prevents energy loss caused by heat generation.
2. Current long folding machines on the market today are all hydraulically operated. The efficiency of a hydraulic system is about 50 %. This means that half of the supplied energy is directly converted into heat. Evobend prevents this energy loss by operating completely hydraulic free and achieving an efficiency rating of 98% with our electric drives.
3. The energy consumption during the bending process is also greatly reduced via the new control unit in combination with special bending tools. With the Evobend you save electricity and money all while working in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.

» Fully electric, no hydraulics
» Reduced heat and friction build-up from ball bearings
» Environmentally friendly and sustainable

From the very beginning, Evobend made sure that their machine was designed to be as safe as possible. Every folding machine user knows the innumerable requirements that arise when purchasing a new machine. Therefore, operator safety is a top priority. This is achieved by fully enclosing the machine, which prevents shearing and crushing hazards.

In addition, the Evobend’s electrically driven safety fences extend while in operation to ensure increased safety for the operator. Once completed, the fences retract to their resting position and therefore don’t take any unnecessary space.

» Fully enclosed machine
» No swinging out of bending beam
» No risk of a hydraulic accidents
» Innovative safety fence technology

By taking spatial planning into account early in Evobend’s developmental stages, we are able to achieve significant space advantages. Compared to traditional long folding bending machines, the Evobend requires considerably less space.

Regularly rising facility expenses are a decisive factor nowadays. The Evobend takes up 30% less space than traditional machines and is optimal for shops with limited space conditions.

» Smaller overall size than traditional folders
» 30 % less space consumption
» Retractable safety fences
» Optimal for limited space conditions

The bearings in traditional folding machines are susceptible to high wear due to regular bearings commonly used in the industry.  In addition, every hydraulic system requires regular maintenance, not to mention annual replacement of various hydraulic hoses. Oil puddles occur quickly, and a costly visit from a service technician is usually the result. Evodend prevents these problems with an all new type of ball bearing. Completely free of hydraulics, the typical problems are a thing of the past.

Thanks to the Evobend’s 4.0 remote capabilities, any setting changes required are possible at any time, and not by way of an expensive service visit – but rather a simple click of a mouse. The machine automatically recognizes the need for preventive measures after continuous operation. When used properly, the Evobend works wear-free, so that no readjusting is necessary.

» Fewer installed parts than a traditional machine
» 4.0 remote troubleshooting and maintenance
» Update your settings at any time
» Hydraulic-free, drastic reduction of hoses, oil, etc.

The Evobend was developed over the course of several years by incorporating customers’ needs and wishes into the construction of the machine.

The Evobend is not just a face-lift or a further enhancement to a traditional long-folding machine, but rather the next generation of folding machines in the marketplace. Evobend is the next generation of folding technology and innovation.
