Heavy-gauge long folding machine guarantees uniform angle consistency across long parts
Jorns of Lotzwil Switzerland has officially launched the JDB300, a heavy-duty long folding machine engineered for the most extreme forming environments.
Designed to handle up to 11 gauge mild steel in 40' lengths or longer, with uncompromising accuracy and control, the JDB300 combines brute force with intelligent engineering to meet the unique demands of long metal folding.
Built on a rugged triple-plate C-frame structure, the JDB300 features a dual-cylinder drive system that delivers unmatched clamping and bending force, dynamically controlled at each C-frame for precision under any load. Its robust twin linkage system ensures accurate, repeatable bending over extended production cycles, while a dedicated retract isolation dock protects the guide mechanism from forming stress, preserving accuracy and preventing premature wear.
Operators benefit from fully independent Dynamic Positioning (DP) control at each C-frame, programmable by position or pressure, enabling real-time compensation for part variations or material inconsistencies.
Additional mechanical compensation built into the bending tool guarantees uniform angle consistency across long parts, even in thick materials. Together, these features form a machine that doesn't just get by, it redefines what's possible in long folding, according to the company.
To fully automate the JDB300 for maximum labor savings and throughput, the system can be seamlessly integrated with the Jorns JPM automated part manipulator. Engineered for long, heavy, and complex profiles, the JPM enables fully automated part loading, rotation, unloading, and stacking, regardless of part length. This pairing transforms the JDB300 into a fully automated bending cell, eliminating manual handling, increasing consistency, and providing true lights-out production for heavy-gauge long folding applications.
