Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an MSM sheet metal beading machine and a DR/EBM woodworking edge bander?
MSM beading machines (250, 300, 400, 500 C) are for sheet metal beading: they create a folded edge on cut sheet metal edges to eliminate sharp edges and stiffen the panel. DR/EBM/PEB machines are for wood: they apply PVC, ABS, or wood edges to chipboard and MDF panels. Completely different operation — not interchangeable.
What sheet metal thicknesses can the MSM series process?
Bernardo MSM beading machines typically work with steel sheet metal up to 1.0–1.5 mm, aluminum up to 2.0 mm. Check specific limits in the model's technical data sheet. Thicker sheets require hydraulic beading machines or press brakes.
Is the MSM C beading machine manual or motorized?
The suffix C indicates a version with motorized feed — the sheet metal is automatically pulled through the beading rollers at an adjustable speed. Versions SM 180 S, SM 200, SM 470 are manual: the operator guides the sheet through the rollers by hand.
