Thalmann TZ is a long-format folding machine that combines a robust, rigid design with Thalmann’s signature technologies: Vertical Force Drive (VFD) for vertical, uniform clamping force directly in the bending zone, and Control Shaft Technology for synchronous force distribution across the entire bed length. This ensures high repeatability, minimal force loss, and excellent profile quality even on large workpieces. The machine is ideal for architectural facades, gutters, roofing elements, and the production of complex profiles with significant insertion depths.
Features and Advantages
Vertical Force Drive (VFD): Vertical application of clamping force directly in the bending zone provides more efficient and uniform pressing along the entire length of the workpiece.
Control Shaft Technology: Mechanical synchronization of the drives, ensuring consistent accuracy and reproducibility of profiles.
Large Throat Depth: Insertion depth of up to 1250 mm, allowing for the production of deep box profiles and large workpieces without the need for additional manual flipping.
Modular Tool Geometry: Three upper tool shapes—Straight Rail (standard), Goat’s Foot (curved), and Nose Tool—provide design freedom for both "high" and "deep" flanges.
Hydraulic Automatic Thickness Adjustment: Automatically adjusts the "gap" between the folding tool and the upper pressure beam for an ideal radius and bend quality when changing material thickness.
Adaptive Crowning: Compensates for the "banana effect" in the folding beam, ensuring consistent angles across the entire profile length.
Standard Equipment
VFD Mechanism: Vertical clamping system and kinematic control shaft.
Tooling: Standard flat tilt 35° upper rail and basic segmented tools.
SBG Backgauge: Motorized backgauge with a 1250 mm stroke, featuring stop-fingers and floating/removable support plates with ball transfers for easy positioning.
Energy Efficiency: Hydraulic drive system with Stop-Start logic and a low-noise pump unit.
Ergonomics: LED lighting of the working area under the clamping beam and basic safety measures (laser/light zone indicators).
Optional Equipment
Specialized Upper Tools: Goat’s Foot and Nose Tool for specific facade and roofing profiles.
Set-back Folding Beam: Cranked tool providing an additional 15 mm of clearance above the bend line for complex geometries.
Hemming & Roll-former Unit: Modular units for performing hems or calibration in a single pass.
Slitter Unit: Electric longitudinal slitting head that can be detached from the beam, allowing for strip cutting during the bending process.
Wear Resistance: HARDOX 400 tool beams for increased durability during heavy-duty operations.
Advanced Gauging: Automated tapering (conical bending), additional gauge sectors, and vacuum suction systems.
M-Guard: Secure remote access for updates and service diagnostics.
