Optional extras

Installation and commissioning

The machine should be connected to a 400, 420 or 480V, 3-phase, 50/ 60Hz power supply form a wall mounted or cable drop with an isolator.

Continuous compressed air supply of 3 to 5 bar is required for the encoder deployment. Some automation accessories require additional air supply, this will be noted on the shop drawing.

We highly recommend the machine installed and commissioned under consultancy and supervision of Inductaflex engineers. We offer turnkey installation & commissioning, maintenance service to secure specification and operation of machine

Shipping

We are willing to handle the shipment in accordance with the requested term under Incoterms 2020

Warranty

The warranty period for goods is within 3 years from the date of BL/AWB for any broken, damages, defects be caused to the Goods by quality of Goods and for reason attributable to the Seller.

In case the Goods need to be repaired / replaced within the warranty period, the execution time shall be the minimum reasonable required time from the Buyer and Seller’s agreed date.

The Seller shall be relieved of its obligations under this Warranty to the extent that:
– The Buyer has modified the machines. The damage to the Goods has occurred during transit, or is due to improper storage, unloading, handling or operation by the Buyer

– Wear and Tear parts are excluded from warranty.

In the case of a turnkey project, warranty will commence once the installation is completed.

Aerospace Bending Technology Redefined

Bend Complex Profiles Without Stretch Forming

Our system bends U-, T-, Z and custom-shaped aluminum extrusions that traditionally require stretch forming. Using servo-driven rollers and controlled support tools, we form intricate fuselage components—faster, cheaper, and without heat or multiple stage setups.

Anti-Twist Multi-Axis Forming

Traditional roll benders twist asymmetrical profiles. Our machine uses Z-axis and real-time torsional correction to ensure profile integrity. Aerospace stringers, longerons, and frames come out accurate and twist-free, even on 3D multi-plane curves.

EXAMPLE BENDS

Faster, More Flexible Aircraft Frame Production

One-Tenth the Time of Conventional Methods

Form a full fuselage frame in minutes—not hours. Our CNC system processes complex variable radii bends up to 10× faster than stretch forming, eliminating the need for re-fixturing, annealing, temperature control or custom dies.

Zero-Die Production Changeovers

Switch from one part design to another by loading a new CNC program. There’s no need to manufacture, store, or change out hard tooling. Perfect for prototyping, low- to mid-volume builds, and fast design iterations.

Aerospace Quality, Proven Performance

±0.5 mm Tolerances on Aircraft Parts

Our machines hit aerospace tolerances every time. Using feedback-controlled bending and re-bending, we produce structural frames, bulkheads, and stiffeners with ±0.5 mm precision—meeting the strictest fuselage frame specs.

Trusted by Tier 1 Suppliers and Electric Aviation

Tier 1s like Heart Aerospace trust Inductaflex for critical fuselage parts. Our machines are built for aircraft programs in the USA, ensuring high repeatability and low part rejection.

Machine Integration and Support

Industry 4.0-Ready CNC Interface

Integrate our machine with CAD/CAM workflows using DXF or STEP files. Set up jobs, monitor parameters, and log QC data—all from a simple touchscreen CNC interface engineered for aerospace manufacturing.

Scalable, Low-Maintenance System

Our servo-electric drive system reduces energy usage by up to 70% and eliminates hydraulic leaks. Designed for shop-floor simplicity, the machine includes remote diagnostics, training, and support for long-term uptime.

FAQs

Common Questions About the Aerospace Fuselage Bender . Contact us with any questions that you may have, or review some of the commonly asked questions that our sales team receives below:

Why is this machine better than others?

Our machine has the most advanced software in the world for aluminum profiles. Moreover, this—coupled with the variable shaft centres that allow bending with wide centres—makes the machine the most suitable on the market.

What industries is this machine best suited for?

Aluminium Extrusion Roller Bending Machine is ideal for forming complex aluminium frames used in:

Guitar-shaped case frames
Railway carriage connectors (bellows)
Architectural features and sculptural profiles

How large of a profile can the machine bend?

We can bend profiles from 1/4 inch high up to 36 inches tall shapes, and widths ranging from 1/4 inch up to 20 inches.

How does the machine ensure bend uniformity?

It includes bar pre-stress rollers that apply controlled force before the main bend, reducing deformation and improving consistency across complex shapes.

Can it handle asymmetrical or thin-wall profiles?

Yes. The machine is designed for high-precision handling of both asymmetric profiles and lightweight extrusions, making it a great fit for aluminum case and enclosure manufacturers.

Is the machine suitable for use in automated production lines?

Absolutely. Its single-pass, bi-directional bending and compact footprint make it perfect for robotic loading and integrated manufacturing cells.

What kind of training and support is offered in the U.S.?

We provide remote setup assistance, U.S.-based service support, and video training. Custom training packages are also available for in-house teams.

How is the bending program handled?

The machine can operate in both manual and automatic modes. There are two programming methods available:

Manual input of curve parameters (such as radius, length, angle, and speed)
Automatic programming by uploading a .dxf file via a USB port, which the machine processes into a bend sequence.

The bending program is user-friendly and does not require skilled operators. Most users can become proficient in programming curves within just a few hours of training.

How is machine maintenance handled?

The machine is built with a robust design, featuring a rigid frame and high-quality, reliable components from well-known brands. It is engineered for long-term operation with minimal need for repairs or overhauls.

Additionally, the control software includes a built-in maintenance management feature that allows users to schedule, track, and log maintenance activities easily, helping to ensure consistent performance and longevity.

What is Inductaflex’s after-sales service?

Inductaflex offers a 3-year warranty on all machines. For full details, please refer to the warranty terms provided on this page.

Customers are welcome to contact us at for any concerns or support requests — we are committed to responding within 24 hours.

Additionally, to extend the machine’s service life and ensure optimal performance, we offer three technical service packages tailored to suit various operational needs.

Can your machine bend LED light frames?

Our machines are favoured by all the leading LED manufacturers. We can bend 1 and 3 piece housings for various styles. We can also supply complete cells including laser welding units and cabinets.
