MAKU
Overview
The motorized folding machine MAKU is the ideal entry into motorized thin sheet metal processing for up to 2.5 mm thick sheet metal. For plumber- and repair workshops this type of machine respresents a very versatile solution – the U in its name stands for „universal“. No other machine on the market offers so much clearances. It is the first machine in the world with a two axis back gauge for automatic conical bending.

Software
nanoTouch
the most clearly laid-out alphanumeric control
A software invention from Schröder Group and perfect for workshop
and factory application: nano Touch is a modern alphanumeric control that
serves as an optional software for the folding machine MAKU.
“nano Touch”controls the clamping beam and the folding beam using a path measurement
system, and the motorized back stop is controlled via the digitally controlled
frequency inverter. The user interface is clearly laid-out and combines
easy-to-understand icons with text and numerical displays.
POS 2000 Professional
the standard for industrial folding machines
The proven POS 2000 Professional makes programming a folding machine fast
and comfortable. The desired program components can be selected from a
comprehensive and expandable catalog, the angle and side dimensions are easily
changed by pressing the monitor.
The control software displays exactly what the machine is doing: The
folding machine, work piece, and tool are displayed schematically and updated
for every bending step. Anyone who programs preparation of the work away from the
machine can test the quality of their program using the bending simulation,
which effectively avoids waste and delays during production.
The software not only controls the machine, but also offers assistance to the user:
all of the necessary operator activities like turning, rotating, etc. are
displayed for each bending step.
