MC400 Planetary-Style Roll Bender

The MC400 is a heavy-duty industrial horizontal bending and forming machine designed for shaping flat bar, round bar, square bar, tube, and structural sections through controlled bending and forming operations. It is intended for fabrication and production environments that require higher forming capacity, improved profile control, and tighter radii than mid-range machines can deliver.

Built around a reinforced welded steel frame and a high-capacity industrial hydraulic system, the MC400 delivers increased forming force and stability during bending operations. The machine is compatible with optional planetary-style rollers, allowing improved control when forming tube and structural profiles where deformation or surface marking must be minimized.

- Designed for horizontal bending and forming of profiles and structural sections.
- Provides higher forming capacity for heavier sections and tighter radii.
- Supports optional planetary-style rollers for improved profile control.
- Hydraulic forming system delivers smooth, controlled bending force.
- Suitable for continuous-duty fabrication and production environments.

* Optional rollers required.

Planetary-Style Rollers:
The MC400 supports optional planetary-style roller systems designed to improve control when bending tube and structural profiles. Unlike fixed rollers, planetary rollers rotate around the section during the bend, maintaining continuous contact and distributing forming pressure evenly.

Planetary rollers are particularly beneficial when forming thin-wall tube, square tube, and architectural profiles where deformation, flattening, or surface marking must be minimized. By supporting the section throughout the bend radius, these rollers help maintain cross-section geometry and improve consistency on tighter or longer-radius bends.

- Improves profile control on tube and hollow sections.
- Reduces deformation and surface marking during bending.
- Enhances consistency on tighter radii and longer arcs.
- Recommended for repeat fabrication and production work.
