Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an MSM sheet metal beading machine and a DR/EBM wood edge banding machine?
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 edge banding machines are for wood: they apply PVC, ABS, or wood edges to particleboard and MDF panels. Completely different operation — not interchangeable.
What sheet metal thicknesses does the MSM series work?
Bernardo MSM beading machines typically work 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. For thicker sheets, hydraulic beading machines or press brakes are needed.
Is the MSM C beading machine manual or motorized?
The suffix C indicates a version with motorized feed — the sheet metal is automatically fed through the beading rollers at an adjustable speed. The SM 180 S, SM 200, SM 470 versions are manual: the operator guides the sheet through the rollers by hand.
