Line benders







Formech FLB500 line bender (120V US spec)
The FLB500 line bender enables users to form an accurate bend in a sheet of plastic up to 500mm / 19.7 inches wide. Typically used for POS materials like menu holders and leaflet holders, as well as storage folders and packaging, desk tidies and furniture. Bending a sheet of plastic means one piece can be used to form the required shape, without gluing or attaching a separate pieces.
Precise heating control
An Incoloy heating element (replacing the previous Quartz element), known for strength at high temperatures, provides consistent heat over the whole 500mm length. An adjustable heating gap allows for precise bends.
Accuracy every time
A printed measurement grid helps ensure correct alignment and a built-in, standalone timer signals the end of the desired heating period for precise and repeatable production runs. Operating solely as a guide for the user, the timer does not control the heating operation nor is required to use the machine.
Safety
A guard protects users from the heating process and securely clamps the plastic sheet.
What's included?
- A 500mm cooling jig, which features a fully adjustable 180° range designed to maintain the desired angle of the heated, bent plastic whilst cooling
- Electric plug
Optional extras
Optional extras include a 3mm width reducer if you require a particularly sharp bend in thicker material or to create an accurate sharp bend in material of less than 1mm and a matching adjustable fence to ensure exact positioning of the sheet each time. Additional 500mm cooling jigs are sold separately.
