CIDAN PRO Z | Up And Down Metal Folding Machine

The CIDAN PRO Z up-and-down metal folding machine is a high-capacity precision folding solution designed for accurate sheet metal processing. Engineered for architectural, façade, cladding, and roofing applications across Australia and New Zealand, it combines Swedish engineering with advanced up-and-down folding technology to handle steel thicknesses up to 4.0mm.

With the ProLink CNC control system and intelligent up-and-down operation, the PRO Z ensures uniform folding angles and stable pressure throughout working lengths of up to 4100mm. This precision-driven design significantly reduces manual handling by eliminating the need to flip material, shortening cycle times and improving overall production efficiency.

Its rigid machine construction uses eccentric drive technology to maintain consistent pressure and parallel movement during each fold. The result is smoother folding, reduced rework, and high-quality parts that are ready for installation the first time.

Manufactured in Götene, Sweden and supported by the CIDAN Machinery Group’s 118-year engineering heritage, the PRO Z sets a benchmark for durability. Backed locally by Total Rollforming, it provides fabricators across ANZ with a dependable solution for advanced sheet metal folding.

Key Features and Capabilities

• Up-and-Down Folding Technology: Enables precise folding in both upward and downward directions without repositioning the sheet. This eliminates the need to manually flip heavy material, significantly improving ergonomics and production efficiency.
• High-Precision Folding Control: Powered by the ProLink CNC control system, the machine ensures consistent folding angles and uniform pressure across the entire working length for accurate, repeatable results.
• Synchronised Folding Motion: The Rotating Combi Beam and rigid frame design maintain parallel movement and balanced force distribution. This delivers smooth operation and reliable accuracy, even on complex profiles requiring multiple tool changes.
• Versatile Capacity: Supports working lengths of 3200–4100mm and material thicknesses up to 4.0mm. This capacity makes the PRO Z ideal for long panels, façades, and architectural sheet metal applications across ANZ.
• Advanced Control System: Intelligent options, including 3D import and a folding side operation package, streamline programming and operation. This allows a single operator to manage complex folding tasks with confidence and consistency.
