Thalmann TC Series | Heavy Gauge Double Folding Machines
Precision Double Folding for Heavy-Gauge Sheet Metal
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.
Safety and Ease of Use
Operator Safety Features
- Laser monitored clamping: Safety laser on the clamping beam provides continuous protection during folding operations.
- Emergency stops and interlocks: Integrated E stops and safety interlocks help prevent unintended movement and improve operator safety.
- Safe service access: Clear access points and guarded service zones support routine checks without interrupting production.
Comprehensive Safety Features
- Guarding and fencing: Fixed and movable guards with compliant safety interlocks support safe and reliable operation.
- Status and diagnostics: On screen alerts and guided prompts assist with safe set up, fault identification and corrective actions.
- Standards aligned design: Built to European machine safety principles and supported by Total Rollforming service expertise.
Ergonomic and User Focused Design
- User friendly interface: The intuitive CNC control with graphics supported programming simplifies complex folding tasks.
- Adjustable control panel: Tilting and swivelling operating screen improves visibility and reduces operator strain.
- Efficient workflow: Intelligent motion control and programmable sequences reduce handling and streamline production.
