Bernardo Folding Machine with Segmented Upper Blade TB 2060
The Bernardo TB 2060 manual folding machine is a universal machine designed for plumbers, repair shops, and artisan workshops. Equipped with a segmented upper blade, it allows for a wide range of bending possibilities, including boxes and complex profiles. Thanks to the foot pedal for upper blade adjustment, the operator has their hands free to correctly position the workpiece. The bending process is supported by an auxiliary cylinder that reduces effort, making bending smoother and more precise. The high upper blade allows for the production of high bent profiles, while the bracket handle ensures quick and ergonomic bending. With a working length of 2065 mm and capacity up to 1.2 mm thickness (400 N/mm²), the TB 2060 offers robustness, versatility, and excellent value for money.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the TB series and the SB series in the Bernardo folding machine range?
The TB series (like this TB 2060) has a segmented upper blade: the segments are interchangeable and individually removable, allowing for openings in the blade to create boxes, deep U-profiles, and pieces with high edges without interfering with the machine's structure. The SB series has integrated cutting rails — more suitable for cutting + bending thin sheet metal in a single station. TB: complex shapes. SB: cut and bend in sequence.
How are the interchangeable segments of the TB 2060 used?
To create a box: remove the segments in the positions corresponding to the side walls of the box (where the already bent sheet metal must "pass through" the blade during subsequent bends). The segments can be assembled and disassembled without tools. This operation transforms the TB 2060 from a simple folding machine into a tool for complex three-dimensional shapes — the main functional difference compared to folding machines without a segmented blade.
What is the maximum thickness for aluminum and stainless steel with the TB 2060?
The nominal capacity of 1.5 mm refers to S235 steel (400 N/mm²). For aluminum, the capacity increases by 30–50% — approximately 2.1 mm. For AISI 304 stainless steel, it decreases by 30–40% — approximately 1.0 mm. For thicknesses near the limit, always verify with a test piece before series production.
Can the TB 2060 replace a press brake for artisan work?
For sheet metal up to 1.5 mm and lengths up to 2065 mm, the TB 2060 covers the vast majority of artisan work in sheet metal fabrication, light carpentry, and workshops. Press brakes (AKPL) are necessary when: thickness exceeds 3 mm, production is in series with high volumes, millimeter repeatability is critical (the TB 2060 has manual precision). For artisan production and maintenance, the TB is the correct choice for its cost/performance ratio.
Are blades, segments, and spare parts available?
Upper blades, interchangeable segments, and original Bernardo spare parts available with 3–5 working days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
