SCHECHTL: “From the Practice, for the Practice”

Schechtl, a German manufacturer founded in 1910 and based near Munich, is the European leader in design and construction of light-gauge sheet metal equipment. With a global reputation for high-tech, high-quality design, manufacturing and engineering of machinery for the metal building, architectural sheet metal, and sign industries, Schechtl has installed thousands of metal folders around the world.

For easy material handling, the SMT and MSB shear models come with a unique, full-length telescoping front sheet support that makes it a breeze for one operator to handle even 5’ by 10’ sheets. This clever system moves in with the sheet as it is cut.

THE NEW SHAPE OF MODERN METAL FOLDING

Metal folding is the most-advanced, technically superior and cost-efficient approach to metal bending in the world today. And the revolutionary Schechtl SpectraFold MAX3100 sheet metal folding systems are unmatched for increased productivity, versatility, cost savings, and the competitive edge. 
Seeing is believing! Through Schechtl’s real-time, interactive, intuitive graphic programming process, the number of shapes programmable on the exclusive SpectraFold CNC Control, with its industrial-grade touch-screen computer, is unlimited. What you see is what you get, on-screen and on the machine, automatically!
Schechtl software’s natural programming operates the way a sheet metal worker thinks. The endless number of designs you can envision are exactly the shapes you also can produce, only with Schechtl SpectraFold.
And now, with 2D and 3D display technology, anyone can efficiently and safely produce perfect parts with a minimal amount of training. The breakthrough 3D feature provides depth of each part and bend in true graphic scale.
The machine control can store 9,900 different graphic part programs in its RAM memory, and 220 more shapes on computer disk. Compare that flexibility with other icon-driven controls, which store just 24 shapes before you have to change disks.
As you program, everything happens on-screen. And as you run the part, the interactive graphics show each piece being oriented properly and each fold taking place, so the operator knows a perfect part is being made and when to manipulate the piece.
Because of the intuitive process of Schechtl software, you can put complete trust in your purchase of a computer-controlled machine. It’s much easier to understand, much easier to learn, and much more flexible. And with less than a day of training, anyone can work the simple computer controls.

 

Schlebach Slasher with Guillotine Shear (GS)

Still the best knife design in the industry. Still the unbeatable solid heavy frame and massive slitting shafts. But now, the Slasher GS takes Slasher RS technology to a higher level of speed, strength and stacking ease with a 13 gauge guillotine shear for exit shearing.

  • Massive guillotine shear addition reduces exit
    shearing cycle speed by 70% – down to
    1.2 seconds!
  • Guillotine design enables effortless, worry-free
    stacking.
  • 13-gauge guillotine exit shear.

 

RBM 25.38 Standing Seam Panel Curving Machine

Take architectural sheet metal to new levels with the RBM offering special proficiencies in curving standing seam. This is the only reliable, repeatable, affordable panel curving system in the world. Easy-to-use RBM 25.38 produces convex curved panels to your unique specifications.

  • Forms radius in 1" and 1.5" standard mechanical lock panel.
  • Curves convex standing seam and U-panels at heights of 1" and 1.5".
  • Curves straight or tapered panels at widths from 8" to 30".
  • Offers convex arch bending of metal shapes for dormers, domes, arched or vaulted roofs.
  • Comes with 2 stainless steel exit rolls.

 

Bend-Boy

The Bend-Boy Curver completes the Schlebach Profile System accessory line, producing convex curved sheets with repeated passes as necessary. Special Bend-Boy engineering allows curves of 900 flanges up to 2" in height. The roller system works material uniformly while protecting integrity. It also can be used on color-coated pieces.

 

Schlebach Quadro-Plus Rollformer

A marvel of German engineering and American practicality, Quadro-Plus eliminates frustrating, time-consuming conversions. And its high-quality manufacturing guarantees clean, straight finished panels.
