New Up- and Down Folding Machine – PRO Z

CIDAN Machinery Sweden AB in Götene, Sweden, announces the launch of its new up- and down folding machine PRO Z. PRO Z can be equipped with our patented Optimal Eccentric Drive, OED^{PAT PENDING}, that provides the same high clamping pressure and folding capacity regardless of selected tool height and always gives maximum opening height. The machine completes CIDAN´s already wide range of folding machines and is primarily targeted for industrial applications.

PRO Z is mainly for folding complex parts where the need is high to eliminate flipping of sheets. The PRO Z model folds both upward and downwards to eliminate the need for an operator to flip the material. This, combined with divided tools in both folding- and upper beam provides perfect opportunities for time-efficient production with only one operator. Divided tools are available in heights of 152 mm, 203 mm and 254 mm. The automatic tool locking, internal tool storage and the new tool layout in the updated ProLink Z control allows for an even faster tool change. The folding result will be outstanding in all thicknesses due to automatic CNC controlled sheet thickness and folding center adjustment, without requiring crowning, all thanks to our newly developed folding beam.

Our new PRO Z in combination with the new AGS modular backgauge system eliminates the idea of gauging limitations. The AGS gauging system generates the ability to customize backgauges to specific needs, with the possibility for adding or removing sections when needed. PRO Z proves our philosophy regarding low environment impact as the folding machine has low energy consumption, a low noise level and is designed for maximum serviceability.

PRO Z is available in 3200 mm and 4100 mm working length and has a capacity of 4.0 mm mild steel (valid for PRO Z 30). Production start will be during the winter of 2015/2016, with delivery available in early 2016.

We will exhibit PRO Z in November during following exhibitions:

Blechexpo, Stuttgart, Germany 2015-11-03 – 2015-11-06
Fabtech, Chicago, USA 2015-11-09 – 2015-11-12
