Overview
Frame bending the operator can follow
The SBK frame bending machines bend flat bulbs, T-bars and angle bars for ship frames. Their open construction gives the operator a clear view of the bending process, so the inverse curve sprayed on the frame by the frame cutting line can be followed and the required radius checked.
A vertical clamping cylinder prevents twist and keeps the web flat, and hydraulically adjustable bending shoes make the machine easy to operate. The main cylinder is available from 275 to 500 ton pressing power.
The SBK series is a long-lasting, field-tested design that has been updated with recent technical improvements, and automatic frame transport is available.
Applications
Profiles bent on the SBK
The SBK shapes the profile sections that form a ship's frames.
Flat bulbs
Flat bulb profiles bent while the vertical clamp keeps the web flat.
T-bars
T-bar frames bent without twist thanks to vertical clamping.
Angle bars
Angle bar frames bent with hydraulically adjustable bending shoes.
