Schechtl Max 310 CNC Folding Machine (2021)

Schechtl Max 310 CNC Folding Machine (2021)

Core Capacities & Performance
Working Length (Bending Width): 3,100 mm (approx. 122 inches / 10 feet)
Max Material Thickness Capacity:
Steel (St. 37 / Mild Steel): 1.5 mm (16 gauge)Aluminum: 2.0 mm
Stainless Steel: 1.0 mm
Bending Beam Speed: 80° per second (allows rapid production sequencing)
Clamping Beam Opening Height: 140 mm (approx. 5.5 inches)
Upper Beam Speed: 50 mm per second
CNC Control & Software Features
Control Interface: Typically equipped with the Schechtl CNC Touch Control or S-Touch / iFold Graphic Controls.
Programming: Features a "drag-and-draw" touchscreen interface where operators can sketch profiles directly in real time.
The software automatically calculates and sequences the optimal bend orders.
Simultaneous Movement: The upper beam begins opening while the bending beam is still lowering, allowing the operator to reposition the sheet metal smoothly for the next step.
Precision Backgauge & Safety
Motorized Backgauge: Features a CNC-controlled backgauge to position the sheet perpendicular to the clamping face, preventing material from slipping forward and maintaining tight tolerances.
Accuracy: Features a high repeatable precision tolerance of approx. ±0.004” to 0.008”.
Foot Pedal System: Includes a movable multi-pedal foot switch for hands-free clamping and operation, which enables safe single-operator handling of full 10-foot sheets.
Common Variations (MAX vs. MAX-F)Depending on the exact build ordered in 2021, you may encounter the standard MAX or the MAX-F variation:
Standard MAX: Features traditional beam geometry ideal for high-speed standard profiles.
MAX-F (F-Geometry): Built with specialized folding beam geometry providing 14 mm of clearance behind the pivot point. This "free space" is critical for avoiding workpiece collisions when executing steep pitches, tight bends, or complex profiles like Omega and hat channels.
If you are planning to purchase, service, or sell this machine, let me know if you need information regarding power requirements (voltage), specific backgauge range options (e.g., 750 mm or 1000 mm), or available tooling accessories like a roller shear.
