Simplicity is evident in Magnabend’s electromagnetic design which eliminates a conventional upper beam and more complex finger arrangements. Keepers (clamping members) are simply positioned over the work piece and are clamped in place electromagnetically when the bending beam is raised. Keepers self-adjust for material thickness as the apron moves.
The rugged simple construction incorporates only one moving part assuring low maintenance and versatility for all of your light duty forming requirements. The included tooling allows for a wide variety of complex shapes to be created right out of the box including rolled edges up 330°, partial length bends, closed shapes, unlimited box depths and heavier material bends (up to 10 ga.) in shorter widths.
Magnabend is the only one of its kind manufactured in the USA.

Electromagnetic Design
The Magnabend is designed to eliminate the hindrance of an upper beam with the introduction of an elongated electromagnet and keeper system.
Self-Locating
A simple and effective method of locating the full length keeper is achieved by spring-loaded steel locator balls.
Back Gauge
Production efficiency in repeat bends is provided by adjustable back gauge.
Triple Hinge System
Three hinges allow Magnabend to have a lighter bending beam without limiting durability and reliability.
Bend-Angle Gauge
Convenient bend angle gauge features adjustable stop for precise, efficient repeat bends.
Safety Features
The safety button engages a light magnetic force on the keeper. As well as a safety device, this force is a convenient way to stabilize the work piece for precise measurement before you activate full clamping power.
