About HAEUSLER
HAEUSLER AG is a Swiss mechanical engineering company headquartered in Duggingen (Canton of Basel-Landschaft) specializing in the development and manufacture of bending machines for plate and profile forming. The portfolio includes 3-roll and 4-roll plate bending machines (including HDR, RMS, SPBM, FKB, FLEX, EVO, VRM, VRM NEO), profile bending machines (HPR, PRV, BB, RBA, SFBM), straightening, re-rolling and tack-welding machines as well as expanders for pipe expansion. In addition to individual machines, the company supplies linked production lines with semi- or fully automatic workflows, including complete LSAW pipe mills and system concepts for wind tower manufacturing. The AI-assisted BENDtronic control enables autonomous bending from the first plate. The machines are used in industries such as onshore/offshore pipework, wind energy, structural steel construction, shipbuilding, aerospace, tank and vessel construction, power plant engineering, automotive, boiler and tunnel construction and are in operation in more than 70 countries. A second production plant has existed since 1958 in Rheinfelden-Herten (Germany); sales and representative offices are located in the USA, Thailand and China.

Materials & Processes
Steel
Base material for plate and pipe forming, among other things in pipe production with the RMS.
Stainless steel
Used, among other things, in machines for heat exchanger manufacturing and in accessories.
High-alloy, non-surface-hardened forged steel
Roll material of the bending machines, forged close to the final contour for maximum service life.
BENDtronic (process/control)
Patented, AI-assisted closed-loop control for autonomous bending from the first plate.
