Rotodie Model #15 10′ x 14-gauge Hydraulic Brake

Roto-Die Hydraulic Benders are engineered to cut costs. The patented Roto-Die principle reduces setup time by as much as 70 %, compared with other power-forming equipment. With a Roto-Die Hydraulic Brake, gauge and clearances are adjusted much quicker than on conventional hand brakes . One-man operation cuts labor requirements in half on virtually all hand-brake operations.

SUPERIOR IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE

Roto-Die is four metal precision forming tools in one. Merely by shifting the selection lever, one operator can perform all basic sheet-metal forming operations. No die to change. The Roto-Die Hydraulic Bending Brake forms full-length ducts, gravel stops, standing lock seams, flashing and hemming operations accurately and economically. The compactness inherent in the cylindrical die design permits acute reverse bends not possible with conventional wide-bed machines. The Roto-Die Hydraulic Bender indexes quickly and accurately to all forming stations. Automatic detention assures positive die alignment. Centerline machined upper dies are instantly inter- changeable in all Roto-Die openings without special stops or adjustments. A Roto-Die Hydraulic Brake is as simple to operate as a hand break – but has infinitely more production capacity.

STROKE ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM

The Roto-Die Hydraulic Brakes give you the speed, accuracy and reliability to increase production by reducing set-up time and material handling. The back gauge (which is an optional feature on Roto-Die’s Hydraulic Sheet Metal Bending Brake) enables precise settings and reliable repeatability to improve forming accuracy through 31 inches of gauge travel. Rear operated modification is also available when it is desired to eliminate the front handle extension.

Capabalities:
