Jorns TwinMatic-Pro
Jorns AG developed the first double bending machines in 2001 and since then, these models have revolutionised the industry by eliminating the need for rotating and flipping which is both time and energy consuming. The TwinMatic-Pro uses positive-negative bending technology to achieve a precise bend whilst cutting down production times and therefore unit costs. Like the Long Length Slitter Folders, the TwinMatic-Pro features several modular options which lets businesses configure the machinery to suit their manufacturing needs. Some of the features common to all TwinMatic Pro models include:
- Pneumatic clamping finger with changer system
Enables flat sheets to be automatically stopped and folded sheets to be gripped
- Machine safety
Including a light curtain, protective fence and multi-beam laser system to identify hazards
- Hem pretension
For uniform closing of the hem
- Bending beam pretension
Enables each bending beam section to be adjusted as needed
- Material thickness adjustment RH
Compensates for different sheet thicknesses
- Multiproportional hydraulic system
Enables multiple hydraulically driven axes to be moved simultaneously, reducing cycle time
