Thalmann TD Series | Long Folding Machines

The electrical slitter unit integrates precision cutting directly into the folding machine – eliminating the need for a separate cutting station. This automation reduces manual handling, minimises setup time, and prevents surface scratches or dents on delicate sheet-metal materials – ensuring cleaner, more accurate results.

The modular tool design with a curved lower clamping beam maximises free space and supports 1:2 aspect ratio bends – expanding folding capability for complex sheet-metal profiles and boosting flexibility across diverse industrial and architectural applications.

Equip your TD200 or TD150 with HARDOX 400 steel beams for maximum durability in heavy-duty bending. These wear-resistant clamping, base, and folding beams enhance stability, maintain accuracy, and deliver long-term performance – even under continuous industrial use.

The side loading device automates sheet loading – boosting production speed and reducing labour costs. With a height-adjustable, heavy-duty table capable of handling multiple parts, sheets can be fed directly from a stack or de-coiler. Compact and efficient, it enhances safety and enables continuous folding with minimal supervision, particularly when paired with the flipping device for full automation.

The automated extending handling table for TD200 and TD150 enables a single operator to process multiple or oversized sheets with ease. It reduces labour costs by up to 50% when paired with loading and flipping systems – while automated positioning enhances repeatability, accuracy, and operator safety.

The integrated flipping device automates part rotation – reducing manual handling and operator fatigue. It ensures precise positioning for the next bend, increasing speed, accuracy, and safety. When combined with the side loading system, it delivers a fully automated folding solution that maximises throughput and minimises labour costs.

This option streamlines complex handling tasks by enabling precise sheet positioning in fully automatic mode – particularly effective for parts with flanges exceeding 38mm in height. It increases operational speed and enhances safety by eliminating manual part adjustments, allowing for more efficient and ergonomic production workflows.

This feature automates the backgauge positioning process – eliminating manual adjustments and the need for gripper offset. It enables smooth and efficient loading of narrow strips as small as 75mm in automatic mode and significantly increases backgauge speed after part flipping – supporting fully automated profile creation with minimal operator input.
