Thalmann – TD Double Folder
Advanced Double Folding for Precision Metal Work
The Thalmann TD Double Folder offers versatile folding capabilities, high speed, low costs, and precision – done automatically, fast, and flawlessly. With bidirectional folding (up and down) and Thalmann’s unique kinetic control shaft, it powers through with perfect force distribution.
The TD Double Folder series is ideal for a wide range of applications, from architectural metalwork to industrial production. Its dynamic folding technology (DFT) ensures faster folding processes while maintaining exceptional accuracy, making it a top choice for metal fabricators.
Key Features and Specifications
Efficient Double-Folding Capability: The Thalmann TD Double Folder allows precise folding in both upwards and downwards directions within a single operation. This dual-folding feature simplifies complex tasks, eliminates the need for manual material flipping, and enhances efficiency across various metalworking applications.
Dynamic Folding Technology (DFT): This innovative technology synchronises multiple machine axes for faster folding cycles without compromising precision, ensuring smooth and accurate results with every fold.
High Precision and Versatility: Delivering folding accuracy up to ±0.5°, the machine is suitable for intricate architectural designs and heavy-duty industrial applications. It can handle sheet thicknesses up to 2.50 mm at 400 N/mm² and is available in lengths from 3.2 metres to 12 metres, accommodating both small and large-scale projects.
Exceptional Flexibility: The 15° tilted and 35° offset bending beam provides greater clearance compared to competitors, significantly increasing operational flexibility.
Compact and Space-Efficient Design: Despite its powerful capabilities, the Thalmann TD is compact and space-efficient, making it easy to integrate into workshops with limited space while maintaining high performance.
Advanced Automation Options: Equipped with modular, fully automated sheet handling systems—including loading, flipping, and unloading devices—the machine maximises productivity while reducing manual labour and setup time. User-friendly controls further enhance efficiency, making it an excellent solution for high-efficiency, large-scale production environments.
