When the need arises to fold complex parts, the folding direction can change several times. The UpDownBend folding system from RAS Reinhardt Maschinenbau can achieve this task without the need to flip the part. This allows to increase productivity and throughput significantly. The new revolutionary and flexible system has a working length of 3200 mm (126'') or 4060 mm (159.85") and is capable folding mild steel sheet thickness of 4 mm (9 gauge) or 3 mm (11 gauge).
