Penta Tandem

The Penta Tandem press brake is a powerful high-capacity hydraulic bending solution developed for forming large, thick, and extended metal components with exceptional precision and strength. Engineered for superior durability and performance, it is perfectly suited for intensive applications in sectors such as heavy fabrication, construction, and shipbuilding.

Designed to handle demanding production environments, the Penta Tandem Machine offers outstanding bending versatility for oversized and complex parts. Available in tandem and tridem configurations, it enables synchronised multi-machine operation for processing extra-long workpieces while maintaining consistent accuracy and control.

Key Production Advantages

  • Handles thick and high-strength materials 
  • Supports very long workpieces with tandem/tridem setups 
  • Maintains accurate bends over large lengths 
  • Suitable for high-volume and heavy-duty production 
  • Reduces setup limitations for complex or oversized parts

 

USE CASES
  • Shipbuilding and Marine Fabrication: Forming heavy steel plates, hull sections, structural reinforcements, and marine components. 
  • Structural Steel and Construction: Bending beams, columns, brackets, panels, and architectural steel components used in commercial and industrial construction projects. 
  • Heavy Equipment Manufacturing: Producing large machine frames, chassis parts, support structures, and thick plate components for mining, agricultural, and earthmoving equipment. 
  • Energy and Power Industries: Fabricating parts for wind towers, transformers, power distribution systems, pipelines, and industrial energy infrastructure. 
  • Transportation and Rail: Manufacturing railcar sections, trailer components, truck frames, and large transport structures requiring long and accurate bends. 
  • Pressure Vessel and Tank Production: Forming thick materials for tanks, silos, pressure vessels, and storage systems. 
  • Defense and Industrial Fabrication: Producing armored panels, industrial enclosures, and heavy-duty fabricated assemblies with high material thickness requirements. 
  • Large Custom Metal Fabrication: Ideal for job shops handling oversized or custom projects that require flexible tooling setups and multi-machine synchronisation.
