Bernardo TB 1020 Flex Folder with Segmented Blades
The Bernardo TB 1020 Flex folder is a professional-grade universal machine suitable for plumbers, repair shops, and advanced artisanal work. Equipped with segmented upper, lower, and bending blades, it offers endless processing possibilities: the combination of inserts allows for the easy creation of boxes, cases, and complex profiles with opposing bends. The tall upper blade enables the creation of tall bent profiles, while the large flat guide ensures precise and consistent movements. An auxiliary cylinder supports the bending process, reducing operator effort. With a working length of 1020 mm and a capacity of up to 2.0 mm thickness (400 N/mm²), the TB 1020 Flex guarantees robustness, precision, and maximum flexibility, making it suitable for those who use a professional folder with an excellent quality-price ratio.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between SB, TB and TBM in the Bernardo folder range?
SB: folder with integrated cutting rails — cuts and bends in the same position on thin sheet metal (up to 1 mm). TB: manual folder with segmented blades — for standard and angled bends on sheet metal up to 1.5–2 mm, interchangeable blades for U-profiles and boxes. TBM: motorized version of the TB — same capacity, motor-driven lever for less strenuous continuous production.
What is the maximum thickness for aluminum and stainless steel?
The nominal capacity refers to S235 steel (400 N/mm²). On aluminum, it increases by 30–50%. On AISI 304 stainless steel, it decreases by 30–40%. On copper, the behavior is similar to aluminum.
Are segmented blades included as standard?
Yes — segmented upper, lower, and bending blades are included as standard equipment on Bernardo TB and TBM folders. They allow bending U-profiles and boxes where the sheet metal must pass through the clamp.
