SAF adds machine for bending complex metal profiles

Atlanta-based SAF, a global metals distributor, fabricator, and finisher, has invested in a new double bending machine to augment its fabrication capabilities. The Jorns JDB-200, installed at the company’s Villa Rica, Ga., location, is a fully automatic double-beam architectural metal forming machine for bending complex metal profiles, such as roof components and corrugated, tapered, and lap siding wall panels.

The machine’s servo-technology allows for automatic loading/unloading and bending of materials. It also features independent finger clamping to allow operation by a single technician. The machine can be programmed to recall previous shapes and profiles to aid in the fabrication of replacement parts or for multiphase construction projects.
