Fully automated production line for integrated manufacturing of profiles and trims CIDAN Forstner BASE (Bending And Slitting Engine)


CIDAN Forstner BASE is a modular automated installation designed for combined sheet metal processing: slitting and bending on one bed. The system allows you to effectively combine the cycle of unwinding the rolled material, pre-slitting, bending and preparing the part for further processing. Thanks to its compact modular design, BASE is suitable for both serial production and flexible small batches, saving space and reducing changeover time.

Features and Advantages  
  • Combination of two operations in one machine — Cutting and bending on a single platform reduces logistics and the time required for moving workpieces.
  • Modular Architecture — The user can select the necessary modules (coil feed, slitting, bending, unloading) according to the production task.
  • High Changeover Speed — Standardized clamps, interchangeable dies/rollers, and programmable parameters allow for quick adaptation to a new thickness or profile.
  • Compact Dimensions — Reduced metal load, small installation footprint, allowing setup even in workshops with limited space.
  • High Processing Quality — Precise positioning, control over cutting and bending ensures stable product geometry, minimum scrap, and improved productivity.
  • Production Flexibility — The ability to change configuration for different materials, thicknesses, and product types, reducing downtime between batches.
  • Automation Readiness — The BASE system easily integrates with subsequent modules (auto-feed, unloading, marking) to create a comprehensive line.
  Standard Equipment  
  • CIDAN Forstner BASE working station with a modular frame: coil feed, slitting module, bending module.
  • Automatic sheet metal feeding system from the coil to the slitting module.
  • Slitting module with programmable number of knives/rollers and adjustable slitting pitch.
  • Bending module with a programmable back-gauge and interchangeable bending rollers.
  • Control panel with a graphical interface, parametric recipes for various material types and thicknesses.
  • Basic safety systems: guards, photocells/light barriers, emergency stop, operator area protection.
  • Cable trays, integrated lighting for the working area, basic preparation for installation.
  Options  
  • Extended Feed Module + Automatic Coil Stacker — Allows processing of longer coils without operator intervention.
  • Auxiliary Rollers and Dies for Special Bends — For example, for profiles with flanges or large heights.
  • Material Thickness Measurement and Quality Control System — Automatic determination of sheet thickness before processing.
  • Automatic Tool Change for the Bending Module — For different radii/types of bends.
  • Unloading/Outfeed System for Finished Parts — Conveyor, stacker, or robotic manipulator.
  • Integration with ERP/MES systems for automatic launch of specified processing programs.
  • Auxiliary Lighting/Part Marking — When additional logistics or product recognition is required.
