Frequently Asked Questions
What sheet metal thickness can it bend?
See "Bending capacity" in the technical table: typically up to 3-6 mm on mild steel.
The capacity refers to nominal S235 steel. For stainless steel or high-strength steel, the actual capacity may drop to 60-70% of the stated value.
What usable length does it offer?
The bending length is indicated in the technical table (typically 1,000-3,000 mm).
The usable length determines the maximum size of the workpiece that can be bent in a single pass. For longer pieces, larger machines are needed.
What bending angles are possible?
Typically from 0° to 135° with a standard V-punch. Check the technical sheet.
For 90° bends or specific angles, dedicated punches and dies can be used. Krollit supplies original Bernardo bending tools.
Does the machine have CNC control?
Professional models offer CNC control for automatic angle positioning and back gauge.
CNCs reduce setup times in series production and offer repeatability for the finished product.
What power supply does it require?
Hydraulic bending machines require a 400 V three-phase power supply; see "Motor power" for the precise data.
Verify the presence of an adequate three-phase line and size the cables according to the nominal power of the hydraulic unit's motor.
