Swivel Folding Machine Market: Introduction
- Swivel folding machines are metal forming machines that are used to bend or fold sheet metal work piece. The swivel folding machine consists of a bracket, worktable, and clamping table. The worktable is placed on the bracket and consists of a base and pressure plate. The coil placed in the seat shell and covered with a cover plate is energized by wire and pressure is generated by the pressure plate, which clamps the metal sheet between the pressure plate and the base. Use of electromagnetic force enables the bending and folding of the metal sheet, depending upon the requirements. Swivel folding machines are utilized to make different types of products such as electrical cabinets, metallic doors, light fixtures, HVAC, lifts, metallic furniture, catering equipment, household appliances, and industrial cooling equipment.
- The global swivel folding machine market can be segmented based on machine operation type, price, folding length, folding capacity, application industry, and distribution channel
