FLEX bending machine│A true all-rounder
ENGINEERED FOR CHALLENGES.
BUILT FOR RESULTS.
FLEX stands for flexibility, speed, and safety – making it an indispensable tool in a wide range of manufacturing processes. HAEUSLER’s new bending machine forms workpieces in a single pass. A wide variety of components, materials, and geometries can be processed with precision and repeatability – even without years of in-house bending experience! The new Traction Controller® system on the 3-roll bending machine automatically ensures constant clamping of the plate during the entire bending process. This guarantees maximum safety, as it is impossible for the plate to slip. A machine system for those who don’t need a second try.
Advantages
at a glance

Reliable safety in the process
Maximum intelligence in control
A technological edge
that pays off
The FLEX bending machine combines the best of modern bending technology in a single system. A wide variety of geometries, materials, and plate thicknesses can be processed in just one pass – all while meeting the highest safety standards. The intelligent BENDtronic® control system automatically calculates and executes the optimal bending scheme, ensuring precise, reproducible results – even with less experienced operators.
BENDtronic® control
HAEUSLER’s intelligent control system automatically generates the optimal bending scheme and process – enabling precise and repeatable bending without any prior operator experience or specific bending knowledge.
Robust construction
The front and rear columns are made from a single piece. The closed frame structure absorbs all process forces internally – reducing foundation requirements, shortening installation time, and saving space.
Low operating costs
High-quality components, a low-maintenance design, and reduced downtime lower operating costs over the machine’s entire service life. Automatic central lubrication and easy access to key components further simplify maintenance and servicing.
Symmetrical adjustment cylinders
The symmetrical adjustment cylinders ensure smooth operation and reduce the need for adjustments – delivering greater efficiency and operator comfort.
Low-wear roll guidance
Our systems deliver consistently precise results with minimal maintenance requirements. This ensures reliable performance and high availability in daily operation.
FLEXIBILITY
CAN PRODUCE ANYTHING
FLEX adapts to a wide range of requirements: whether thin or thick, simple or complex – the machine bends a variety of geometries and materials automatically at its performance optimum. With the right accessories, it is suitable for virtually any industry. Whether for onshore or offshore wind turbines, silo and machine construction, or tank manufacturing – the FLEX masters the challenges of these industries like no other, and all at competitive prices!
SPEED
BEND IN ONE GO
Thanks to its unique bending technology, a workpiece can be formed in a single pass. You bend on the inlet side, round the weft and finish bending on the outlet side in one go. This saves time, reduces process steps, and significantly increases productivity. The BENDtronic® control system takes care of the entire process and makes bending possible without years of experience!
TRACTION CONTROL®
THE PLATE IS CLAMPED CONSTANTLY
The new Traction Controller® system automatically ensures constant clamping of the plate during the entire bending process. This reliably prevents slipping and minimizes the risk of bending errors or accidents – for greater process safety and peace of mind during operation.
PRODUCT RANGE
GEOMETRIES, PLATE THICKNESSES & MATERIAL VARIETY
The FLEX bending machine thinks ahead. Thanks to the innovative BENDtronic® control system, bending is not only precise but also intuitive. The system automatically handles complex calculations – including bending schemes, roll settings, and load distribution. This protects the machine from overload and keeps the process permanently within the optimal performance range. Whether working with changing materials, demanding geometries, or cone bending, BENDtronic® adjusts all parameters via software – for precise and repeatable results without the need for prior experience. Even less trained personnel can achieve reproducible, top-quality results.
