About schmale Maschinenbau
schmale Maschinenbau GmbH is a manufacturer of automatic wire bending machines and tube bending machines based in Menden. The company builds modular forming systems in which various metal forming units are combined. The systems integrate NC bending heads, servo presses and bending slides with a fast servo-electric transfer system, delivering customer-specific solutions for the automation of manufacturing processes. The portfolio includes, in addition to standard machines such as the SPEEDMAX and X2000NC, special-purpose machines, assembly automats, testing stations as well as presses and press lines with servo-electric or hydromechanical drives. Typical applications include the manufacture of retaining rings, rail clips, chain links, door closing straps and headrest frames. In addition, schmale offers research and development, maintenance, optimization and training services; the website is available in German and English.
