Twinmatic Pro

automated bending cells for sheet metal fabrication

Features

If you want the absolute best in folding technology and performance, look no further than the Jorns Twinmatic family of totally automated bending cells, a revolutionary combination of engineering and computer automation.

All you have to do is program your part, insert your blank and get out of the way. The dual bending beams bend parts both up and down, and parts are finished with astonishing accuracy and speed.

The EcoTwinmatic is the newest up/down long folder from Jorns and is the most advanced folder in the market today. It is equipped with the new CNC8000 control, which is capable of automatic sequencing of the part’s construction, as well as MetalForming’s patentedOnLink™ system, so you can be sure that this workhorse is never down.

This machine comes in standard lengths of 10, 13, 21, 26, 32 and 40 feet. You can also get the EcoTwinmatic machine in either an 18, 16, or 11 gauge model.

The Twinmatic double bending machines were developed, beginning in 2001, specifically to increase efficiency and throughput. With an upper and lower bending beam, they can fold the sheet either upward or downward. This flexibility reduces the amount of handling required and accelerates the bending process, making Jorns the front-runner in the field of sheet metal folding.

A unique feature is the programmable air gap, which, depending on the operating cycle (top and bottom bending beam), adapts automatically to the sheet thickness. It is another efficiency designed to increase throughput, and it also is representative of the adaptability required to accommodate a wide range of products.

On the automation side of the equation, the CNC 800 controls enable parts design with state-of-the-art drawing software and a parts database to help guarantee you are creating the architectural world’s most accurate parts. And once you have designed the profile, you can test its implementation with a bending simulation program. The program also highlights any potential collisions.

To assure maximum up-time, there is MetalForming’s Onlink remote servicing with live video and voice streaming right in the control.
