Bernardo Folding Machine with cutting rails BM 2020
The Bernardo BM 2020 folding machine is a versatile and robust machine, designed for bending sheet metal up to 2020 mm in length and 2.0 mm in thickness (400 N/mm²). Equipped with cutting rails and a flat guide for precise upper blade movement, it offers simple and efficient use. The bending angle, manually adjustable via a scale, allows for the creation of various profile types up to 135°. The large 124 mm opening allows working on tall pieces, while the large locking lever ensures secure material clamping. Thanks to the bracket handle, bending is easy and fast. The BM 2020 is made of welded steel, suitable for intensive use, and can be integrated with an optional backgauge for series production. With its 1010 kg weight, it ensures stability and precision even in the most demanding jobs.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between BM (manual), TBM (motorized), and SB (with rails)?
BM: manual lever folding machine — suitable for low-volume artisanal production. TBM: motorized version of the BM — same capacity but lever operated by motor, less fatigue in continuous production. SB: folding machine with integrated cutting rails — allows cutting and bending sheet metal at the same station without moving the piece.
What is the maximum thickness for aluminum and stainless steel?
The nominal capacity refers to S235 steel (400 N/mm²). For aluminum, the capacity increases by 30–50%. For stainless steel, it decreases by 30–40%. Copper behaves similarly to aluminum.
Are segmented blades included as standard?
Yes. Interchangeable segmented blades are included as standard equipment on BM and TBM folding machines. They allow bending U-profiles and boxes where the sheet metal must pass through the presser.
Are replacement blades available?
Yes. Original Bernardo replacement blades and segments are available with 3–5 business days shipping.
Is assistance available?
Original Bernardo spare parts available with 3–5 business days shipping. Customer support in Italian available.
