The Schechtl MAX is the single most popular selling folder in North America. But that was not good enough for the engineers at Schechtl. Introducing the MAX-F and MAX-I. Everything you have always loved about the MAX; reengineered to bend faster, hem better, and increase flexibility. The legendary strength of the MAX has been improved with a redesigned clamping, bottom, and folding beam. The clamping and bottom beam is stiffer for superior hemming, and more clearance between the gauge table and the clamping beam. The folding beam, driven by the new electric direct-drive system is more efficient, with faster bending speeds, and better bending consistency. Couple this with the newly designed dual servo-drive gauge system for lightning fast gauging, and you have a machine unrivaled by anything in the industry.
The MAX comes in two configurations. The MAX-I comes with standard folding blade tooling. Several different blade thicknesses are available, with 3/8” being the industry standard.
The MAX-F series has Schechtl’s new ‘F’ shaped folding blade geometry. This additional clearance provides a huge amount of free space to accept the part during the forming sequence. Eliminates operators need to deflect the part for the next fold. Less labor, greater flexibility, safer, and more productive. Hat channels, corrugations, drip edge for sloped roofs, the applications are endless.
