Thalmann TD with Automation: Cutting-Edge Long Folding
High-Efficiency Automated Folding for Large-Scale Metal Fabrication
The Thalmann TD with Automation is an advanced long folding solution engineered for high speed, high precision sheet metal production. Designed for industrial, architectural and roofing applications, it combines Swiss engineering with fully integrated automation to maximise throughput, reduce manual handling and deliver consistent accuracy across every profile.
With automated material loading, unloading and handling sequences, the system optimises every stage of the folding process. Automated rotation, positioning and transport reduce cycle times and streamline workflow, helping fabricators improve productivity and cut labour costs while maintaining precise, repeatable results.
Its intelligent robotic and logistics modules manage complex profiles smoothly through each fold, ensuring uniform quality and eliminating rework. By reducing manual intervention, the TD with Automation achieves fast, continuous operation suited for large scale, high volume production environments.
Built in Switzerland with over 70 years of Thalmann expertise and supported by the CIDAN Machinery Group’s 118 year heritage, the TD with Automation sets a new benchmark for efficiency, reliability and performance in automated long folding technology.
