Haeusler FLEX 3-Roll Plate Bending Machine

Haeusler FLEX 3-Roll Plate Bending Machine

The HAEUSLER FLEX is a high-performance 3-roll plate bending machine built for flexibility, speed, and safety. Featuring the intelligent BENDtronic® control system and a Traction Controller® that ensures constant clamping, it lets you form plates in a single pass—even with complex geometries or varying materials. Designed for high throughput with minimal setup, it delivers repeatable results whether or not you have years of bending experience.

Key Features:

  • High Rounding & Pre-bending Capacity – up to 205 mm rounding and 186 mm pre-bending for the heaviest plates.
  • Versatile Configurations – 3m or 4m roll widths to suit different production needs.
  • Exceptional Efficiency – optimised design for faster setup and reduced material handling.
  • Precision Forming – consistent results across varying plate thicknesses and widths.
  • Scalability – multiple series (1100–3300) for light to ultra-heavy applications.

The FLEX machines are engineered to deliver maximum output with minimal downtime, making them the preferred solution for workshops demanding both performance and adaptability.

The FLEX bending machine from HAEUSLER is engineered for manufacturers who need both precision and productivity. With its 3-roll design and intelligent BENDtronic® control, the FLEX system automatically calculates optimal bending schemes, roll settings, and load distribution—delivering consistent results even with less experienced operators.

Its Traction Controller® system ensures the plate is clamped throughout the bending process, eliminating slippage and improving safety. The robust closed frame structure absorbs process forces internally, reducing foundation requirements and installation time. Symmetrical adjustment cylinders and low-wear roll guidance yield smooth operation, minimal maintenance, and high availability.

Ideal for industries like silo construction, tank manufacturing, wind power, shipbuilding, and pressure vessel fabrication, FLEX bends thin or thick plates, simple or complex geometries—all in just one pass.
