950110: Guide Rail Bending Machine

From FlexLink Systems, Inc.
 

 
Bend guide rails with high repeatability. FlexLink bending machine 3922963 facilitates bending of guide rails with high quality and high repeatability. The machine can be used in the workshop or at the customer's site. Bending angles up to 180° and radii down to 100 mm can be accommodated. This ensures high flexibility in customizing bends for special applications. Instructions for use: 1) Mark the length of the rail to be bent. Leave approximately 200 mm straight sections at each end. 2) Place the rail horizontally between the top wheel and the lower wheels. 3) Operate the crank to run the rail back and forth while lowering the upper wheel step by step until the desired radius and angle is achieved. If multiple bends with the same radius are to be made: note the final position of the upper wheel indicator scale to ensure correct radius of subsequent rails.
