- CNC-controlled crowning of folding beam
- CNC folder that folds up and down, no need to flip the material.
- 150 mm movement of the folding beam, to move outside the material on the folding side.
- The Combibar is equipped with 203 mm high divided tools and a straight rail.
- Standard features include multiple tooling, CNC-controlled sheet thickness and bending center adjustment.
- The folding bar can be used as a front stop up to 150 mm.
- Add vacuum grippers to make work even lighter, more precise and automated!

Operating System ProLink
The FORMA Z features the ProLink operating system and a 21.5-inch touchscreen.
The ProLink software was developed by CIDAN itself for CIDAN typesetters.
Windows-based operation is easy and quick to learn and use.

The CIDAN Setting Bench FORMA Z is CIDAN’s most flexible and versatile sheet folding machine. Thanks to its ability to set both up and down, the material stays in place and does not have to be turned over. This allows one operator to set complex parts quickly and efficiently.
Combi beam rotation between two tool positions and unique geometry create an unmatched workspace. Automatic tool locking speeds up tool changes and increases ergonomics.
The folding bar adjusts automatically with crowning, setting center correction and sheet thickness adjustment, ensuring superior setting quality in all thicknesses and over the entire setting length. A large number of vacuum grippers hold plates – large or small, single or several at a time – securely on the backgauge.
The backgauge is available in various designs, giving you maximum freedom of choice in work direction and machine operation.
Last but not least, the FORMA Z works at lightning speed – more production in less time!
The controls are easy and quick to learn; navigation guides the operator step by step through the programming procedure.
Interactive graphics are displayed with instructions such as rotating or tilting the part, which is a prerequisite for producing complex details correctly.
Each bending line is displayed with the selected tool and the corresponding bending situation.
Collisions are indicated and the operator then decides whether to produce the part.
The typesetting settings are based on material data tables and calculate the bending allowance.
A large number of programs can be stored in the CNC controller.
Each program can be saved with a graphic icon and a name and is easily found in the library.
