Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an MSM sheet metal beading machine and a DR/EBM wood beading machine?
MSM (250, 300, 400, 500 C) beading machines are for metal sheet beading: they create a folded edge on cut sheet metal edges to eliminate sharp edges and stiffen the panel. DR/EBM/PEB beading 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 process?
Bernardo MSM beading machines typically process steel sheet metal up to 1.0–1.5 mm, aluminum up to 2.0 mm. Check the specific limits in the model's technical table. For thicker sheets, hydraulic beading machines or press brakes are needed.
Is the MSM C beading machine manual or motorized?
The C suffix indicates a version with motorized feed — the sheet metal is automatically pulled 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.
