Key features and capabilities of the Autofold 516 I-Fold include:
Versatile Coil Handling: With the ability to accommodate coil widths up to 1500mm and a maximum coil thickness of 1.6mm (1mm for stainless steel), this machine can handle a wide range of coil sizes, providing flexibility in duct manufacturing.
Duct Size Options: The I-Fold can effortlessly produce ducts of various sizes, starting from a minimum of 120mmx120mm, ensuring compatibility with different project requirements.
Duct Configurations: This machine is capable of manufacturing fully wrapped ducts, as well as “L” shape, “U” shape, and flat sheet ducts, with or without beading applied. It offers comprehensive options for meeting diverse ducting needs.
Hydraulic System and Controller: Powered by the reliable Bosch Rexroth hydraulic system, the I-Fold is equipped with a dedicated controller specifically designed for Autofold machines. The machine-mounted touch screen controller features user-friendly software, enabling easy operation and efficient control of the manufacturing process.
Software Capabilities: The integrated software not only facilitates smooth machine operation but also includes built-in machine monitoring features. Additionally, it can read Autodesk Plasma software as standard if required, allowing seamless integration with design software via USB.
Efficient Duct Production
The machine offers quick duct input through a shortcut function, allowing for rapid setup and production. Programmable jobs can also be saved for later manufacturing, streamlining workflow and increasing productivity. On average, the I-Fold can manufacture a duct in approximately 20 seconds, though actual speed may vary depending on the duct size.
Coil Holder Capacity
The machine comes with one “A” frame coil holder as standard, but additional coil holders can be easily added at any time. Each coil holder can accommodate coils weighing up to 5 tonnes, with a maximum width of 1550mm, ensuring efficient coil handling and uninterrupted production.
