CIDAN FX Plus Series | Short Folding Machines
High-Precision Folding & Advanced Automated Tooling
The CIDAN FX PLUS is a high-performance short folding machine built for fast, precise sheet-metal folding. Designed for roofing, flashing and architectural fabrication across Australia and New Zealand, it combines Swedish engineering quality with advanced automation for superior productivity and accuracy.
With its upgraded rotating Combi beam system, the FX PLUS delivers quick tool changes and flexible folding options in a single machine. This reduces handling, improves workflow efficiency and increases throughput, helping fabricators cut labour time and speed up project delivery.
Its ProLink W or nuLINK CNC control platform offers intuitive graphics supported programming, automatic sheet thickness adjustment and precise folding sequences. This ensures consistent bending accuracy, eliminates costly rework and prepares every folded part for installation the first time.
Built in Sweden and supported by CIDAN Machinery Group’s long-standing heritage, the FX PLUS sets the benchmark for quality, durability and performance in short folding machines across ANZ, establishing a reliable standard in metal processing equipment.
Key Features and Capabilities
- Advanced Combi Beam Folding: Rotating upper beam with straight rail and divided box tooling delivers fast tool changes and flexible folding of simple bends, deep trays and complex architectural profiles.
- Reinforced Steel Frame: All welded steel construction with strengthened side plates ensures excellent rigidity, stability and repeatable precision in high-demand short folding applications.
- Flexible Capacity: Handles steel material thicknesses from around 2.5–2.0mm and working lengths approximately 2600–4100mm, ideal for roofing, flashing and architectural fabrication across ANZ.
- High Precision CNC Control: ProLink W or nuLINK provides graphics supported programming, automatic folding sequence design and accurate material adjustment for consistent folding accuracy.
- Efficient Automated Operation: Improved working height and streamlined tool change processes reduce manual handling, increase throughput and allow operators to manage multiple production tasks with consistent reliability.
