STANDARD SFF-2x1270mm Foot Lock Type Box and Pan Folder:
A Box and Pan Folder with Foot Lock is a metal bending machine used for creating box-like structures and pans from sheet metal. The machine is made up of several components, including a bending bed, clamping system, bending fingers, and bending leaf.
The bending bed is the flat surface where the sheet metal is placed and bent. It is typically made of steel and has several slots to accommodate the bending fingers. The clamping system, which is controlled by a foot pedal, secures the sheet metal in place during bending.
The bending fingers are a set of adjustable metal pieces that fit into the slots on the bending bed. These fingers are used to create the bends in the sheet metal and can be adjusted to accommodate different sizes of sheet metal.
The bending leaf is a metal plate that is attached to a hinged arm on the machine. This leaf is used to create the actual bends in the sheet metal. It can be adjusted to different angles, allowing for precise and accurate bending.
The Foot Lock feature on the Box and Pan Folder allows the operator to use their foot to activate the clamping system, leaving their hands free to hold and position the sheet metal during bending. This feature provides a safer and more efficient way of working with the machine.
Using a Box and Pan Folder with Foot Lock involves positioning the sheet metal on the bending bed, adjusting the bending fingers and bending leaf to the desired shape, and using the foot pedal to clamp and release the sheet metal as needed during bending. With practice and experience, operators can create precise and complex shapes with this machine, making it an essential tool for sheet metal fabrication.

A Foot Lock Type Box and Pan Folder is a metal bending machine that is commonly used in sheet metal fabrication. It is designed to create bends in sheet metal, and it is especially useful for creating complex shapes such as boxes and pans. Here are the steps for using a Foot Lock Type Box and Pan Folder:
Preparation: First, make sure that the machine is set up correctly and that you have the necessary tools and materials on hand. Adjust the bending fingers to the appropriate width for the sheet metal you will be bending.
Insert the Sheet Metal: Place the sheet metal onto the bending bed of the machine, making sure that it is aligned with the back gauge. Use the foot pedal to clamp the sheet metal in place.
Make the First Bend: Adjust the bending leaf to the appropriate angle for the first bend, and use the foot pedal to lower the leaf onto the sheet metal. The bending leaf should be positioned so that it just touches the sheet metal. Then, use the foot pedal to raise the leaf and create the first bend.
Make the Second Bend: Adjust the bending leaf to the appropriate angle for the second bend, and use the foot pedal to lower the leaf onto the sheet metal again. This time, position the leaf so that it is touching the first bend, and then use the foot pedal to raise the leaf and create the second bend.
Repeat as Necessary: Continue making bends in this way until you have created the desired shape. You may need to adjust the bending fingers or the bending leaf as you go to accommodate the shape you are creating.
Remove the Sheet Metal: Once you have finished bending the sheet metal, use the foot pedal to release the clamps and remove the sheet metal from the bending bed.
Overall, using a Foot Lock Type Box and Pan Folder requires careful attention to detail and a good understanding of metal bending techniques. With practice and experience, however, it can be an extremely useful tool for sheet metal fabrication.
