Versatile

A Roto-Die hydraulic bender is as simple to operate as a hand brake - but has infinitely more production capacity.

• Merely by shifting the selections lever, one operator can perform all basic sheet-metal forming operations. No dies to change.
• The Roto-Die® hydraulic bender forms full- length ducts, gravel stops, standing lock seams, flashing, and hemming operations accurately and economically.
• The compactness inherent in the cylindrical die design permits acute reverse bends not possible with conventional wide-bed machines.
• The Roto-Die indexes quickly and accurately to all forming stations. Automatic detention assures positive die alignment.
• Centerline machined upper dies are instantly interchangeable in all Roto-Die openings without special stops or adjustments.

Productive

Most sheet-metal configurations can be formed with one handling by one operator.

The ram may be jogged, stopped or returned to “up” position at any point of the stroke. It may also be inched for accurate positioning of the work, reducing material loss and gauge-adjustment time.

Disappearing pins are conveniently located for fast one-man positioning in cross-braking (paneling) and rectangular duct forming. Pin gauges are easily removed and relocated.

Profitable

Roto-Die hydraulic benders are engineered to cut costs – labor cost is reduced while shop productivity is increased.

• The patented Roto-Die principle reduces setup time by as much as 70 per cent, compared with other power-forming equipment. Gauge and clearances are adjusted much quicker than on conventional hand brakes.
• One-man operation cuts labor requirements in half on virtually all hand-brake operations.
• Simple adjustments permit operating speeds up to 50 strokes per minute for maximum production output.
• Multiple handling of sheet stock is kept to a minimum. This allows you to fabricate most commercial ventilating jobs, including the new TDC duct system, in the Roto-Die in one-fourth the time ordinary benders require.
