Quick guide from the manual
The Elmag SBM 1270x2.0 HSS is a manual swivel bending machine designed for precision metalworking. It features a working length of 1270 mm and can handle sheet thicknesses up to 2.0 mm. The machine utilizes a foot pedal for clamping, allowing for hands-free material feeding and efficient operation.
Product Overview
The machine is equipped with high-alloy, ground special steel bending beam segments. These segments can be removed and moved to accommodate different bending widths, ranging from 25 mm to 270 mm. The upper beam and bending beam are adjustable to adapt quickly to different material thicknesses. The system uses eccentric technology for effortless bending apron activation and is supported by powerful tension spring cylinders for smooth, controlled operation.

Operational Features
- Foot Pedal Operation: Allows for convenient closing and locking of the upper beam, keeping both hands free for material positioning. The pedal is covered with non-slip rubber for safety.
- Automatic Lifting: The upper beam lifts automatically upon opening, facilitating easier material removal.
- Adjustability: Precise adjustment of the upper and bending beams allows for quick adaptation to various material thicknesses.

Practical help
Common problems
Check that the bending beam segments are correctly aligned and that the upper beam adjustment is set properly for the specific material thickness.
Ensure the foot pedal mechanism is unobstructed and the upper beam is free of debris. Verify that the material thickness does not exceed the 2.0 mm limit.
Before use
- Verify the material thickness is within the 2.0 mm limit.
- Ensure the workspace is clear to accommodate the 1270 mm working length.
- Check that the foot pedal is unobstructed and functions smoothly.
- Confirm the bending segment configuration matches the required bend width.
- Ensure the machine is placed on a stable, level surface.
