The WDM K series hydraulic initial pinch plate bending machine; models K-5 to K-12 are well designed, robust machines that feature a wedge actuated pinch roll positioning system. This provides for an accurate and parallel pinch roll position. The rear bending roll is positioned with heavy duty master and slave hydraulic cylinder arrangement. The accurately machined rolls turn on sealed spherical roller bearings with extended maintenance period of five years or more, in most cases. The heavy fabricated steel main frame contains a hydraulic reservoir for a quiet integrated hydraulic system. In designing the system, much attention is given to the efficiency of components which results in a cool operation. The Beta 3.2 roving pendant control with pushbutton controls and DRO’s to show position of the rolls comes standard. If however you prefer a more sophisticated machine we offer many options and enhancements in control styles and position indication. If you have a special need beyond this we are glad to accommodate it.
