Shannon Bending Machine AFF-D Series

AFF-D allows thin thermoplastic materials to be machined without rippling, boat-like effects. The bending line with AFF, is always perfectly straight and repeatable, regardless of the number of cycles performed. The bending machine allows two bends to be made in one process, where each bend can have any angle (from 0 to 180 degrees) and the desired working width can be set. AFF-D is equipped with 2 heating contact swords, the temperature and contact time of these Teflon-coated swords are very precisely regulated electronically.

BENDING PROCESS: The process itself from pressing the pedal takes a few seconds, making the bender
AFF D 135 unrivaled on the market. The bending process is carried out by lowering the arm with heating strips, which, coming into contact with the material perfectly in a straight line, give off the temperature, resulting in a straight and sharp bending line even over the entire maximum working length (135 cm).

Vacuum PUSH: allows bending of even small individual parts without loss of quality and repeatability, prevents material movement during bending.

MODULAR TABLE: which allows any arrangement of bending fins relative to each other. With this solution, the AFF version D becomes a leader in the process of bending thin materials, such as in the production of price tags. The working area of the device allows processing of individual parts up to 135 cm wide.

Also available version of the device for bending materials from 1.5 mm to 5 mm - ABM-D 135

The ABM-D 135 and AFF-D 135 are expanded versions of the basic AFF 135 bender model. The unit is equipped with 2 adjustable upper and 2 lower heating profiles with 4 digital temperature controllers and 2 vacuum systems to hold the material in place along with 2 clamping bars in the upper frame, which has increased the unit's capability to automatically bend a whole range of thermoplastic materials up to 5 mm thick.

Advantages and features:

• Electronically regulated heating element (allows control of the bender during operation),
• high-quality interchangeable Teflon strip from 2 to 10 mm (it is possible to make a strip of other dimensions)
• A built-in protractor that adjusts the bending angle of the material,
• The upper frame equipped with an adjustable clamping strap,
• Suction system to hold the workpiece during heating, bending and cooling,
• Table made of durable material with adjustable stop,
• Easy and fast replacement of heating strips,
• blowing cold air to speed up the cooling process of the material.

The use of a compressor is necessary for the operation of this bending machine.

The bending machine can be upgraded with additional accessories available on our website:
- heating strip - interchangeable dedicated strips with a range from 2-10mm
- protractor, guide - cooling at a specific angle
- compressor - required to operate the device

The device allows processing of most thermoplastic materials such as:

• PMMA (plexiglass)
• PC (polycarbonate)
• PS (polystyrene)
• PETG (polyester)
• PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
• Price tags, badges, hang tags
• etc.
