Thalmann TC Series | Heavy Gauge Double Folding Machines

The Thalmann TC Double Folder is a high-performance double folding machine built for heavy-gauge, long-length sheet-metal processing. Designed for architectural, industrial and roofing applications, it combines Swiss engineering with advanced automation to deliver exceptional rigidity, accuracy and throughput for demanding fabrication environments.

With patented Dynamic Folding Technology (DFT) and a powerful dual-beam configuration, the TC performs up- and down-folding automatically in a single sequence. This reduces handling, shortens cycle times and boosts output, helping fabricators cut labour costs while maintaining consistently high precision on every profile.

Its robust double-gripper system securely positions heavy or complex materials throughout each fold, ensuring repeatable accuracy and minimising rework, even on long panels, thick materials and complex shapes that typically challenge conventional folders.

Built in Switzerland with over 70 years of Thalmann expertise and supported by the CIDAN Machinery Group’s 118-year heritage, the TC Series delivers benchmark reliability, durability and performance in heavy-gauge sheet-metal folding, setting a new standard for productivity in large-scale metal processing.

Key Features and Capabilities

• Powerful Double Folding: High-strength dual-beam folding enables rapid up- and down-folding in a single cycle, increasing productivity and reducing manual handling for heavy-gauge materials.
• Advanced Gripper System: Multi-section, high-capacity grippers securely hold and position material through each folding motion, maintaining precision and stability on long or thick profiles.
• Heavy-Gauge Capacity: Handles material thicknesses up to 3.0mm and working lengths up to 12,200mm, making it ideal for industrial, architectural and large-format metal applications.
• High-Performance Automation: Intelligent control and synchronised folding systems reduce operator involvement, allowing one operator to manage heavy-gauge production tasks with consistent accuracy.
