This wing bender is used to produce a side, back, side “U” shaped file cabinet. The Cabinet is semi-automatically loaded into one end of the wing bender via a rollformer. The operator locates the cabinet within the machine using two side guides and one end stop. Once located, he depresses a foot switch which turns on an electromagnet in the center of the machine which holds the part in place.

The two forming heads automatically move out to the first bend position with a pair of left and right hand ball screws and servo motor. Two bends are made simultaneously on both ends of the part to make the front of the finished cabinet. The form head then moves towards the center of the machine to perform the last two bends which makes the back of the cabinet. Both heads then unclamp the finished part and the conveyor in the center lifts the part up and conveys it out the front towards the operator.
