Morgan Rushworth ESR Folding Machine
The Morgan Rushworth ESR CNC folders deliver fast, accurate folding, with bending lengths from 2M to 4.2M. All models feature a 0.75M powered back gauge, with optional U- and L-shaped configurations. The integrated back gauge and support table allow single-operator handling of large sheets.
The advanced 2D touch screen CNC manages clamping, folding beam, and back gauge movements, with programming on the machine or an office PC. The CNC calculates job feasibility, developed length, and bending sequence. ESR models include a straight rail and optional high divided tools for box and panel work.

Morgan Rushworth ESR CNC Folders: Precision and Efficiency Redefined
The Morgan Rushworth ESR range of CNC folders is engineered to deliver fast, accurate, and consistent folding results, catering to the needs of modern manufacturing and fabrication industries. Designed with versatility in mind, the range is available in bending lengths from 2 metres to 4.2 metres, ensuring a solution for various sheet metal applications. These machines are built to provide exceptional performance while reducing labour requirements, making them an efficient and cost-effective addition to any workshop.
Advanced Back Gauge and Support Table
All ESR models are equipped with a powered back gauge that starts at a minimum length of 0.75 metres, with optional longer configurations available. These include U-shaped and L-shaped back gauges, allowing for greater flexibility in handling larger sheets or more complex folds. The back gauge is integrated with the rear support table, which supports the weight of large sheets, enabling a traditionally two-operator job to be performed by one person. This feature not only improves productivity but also reduces operating costs, making the ESR range ideal for workshops that handle large and heavy materials.
Intelligent CNC Control System
At the heart of the Morgan Rushworth ESR range is an advanced 2D touch screen CNC control system, designed for ease of use and enhanced efficiency. This control system manages all aspects of the machine, including the upper beam clamping, folding beam movements, and back gauge positioning. Programming can be conducted directly on the machine or on an office PC, allowing operators to prepare jobs in advance and streamline production processes.
The system enables operators to draw the job on-screen, enter angles and dimensions, and select tooling from the integrated library. Once the design is complete, the CNC control automatically calculates:
- Feasibility of the job
- Developed length of the material
- Optimal bending sequence
- Material handling requirements, including when to turn the material over or around
This intelligent programming ensures minimal errors and maximises efficiency, making it easier for operators to achieve consistent, high-quality results.
Versatile Tooling Options
All ESR models are supplied with a straight rail as standard, providing the versatility needed for various folding tasks. For more specialised applications, optional high divided tools are available. These tools are particularly useful for box and panel-type operations, offering the flexibility to handle more intricate folds and designs. The ability to switch between different tooling configurations quickly and easily further enhances the machine’s adaptability to diverse production requirements.
Productivity and Cost Efficiency
The Morgan Rushworth ESR CNC folders are designed to optimise productivity while reducing operational costs. By integrating advanced automation and support systems, these machines minimise the need for additional labour, enabling a single operator to handle tasks that would typically require two. The intelligent CNC control system reduces setup times and ensures that jobs are completed accurately on the first attempt, reducing material waste and increasing overall efficiency.
The range is particularly suited for businesses handling large sheet metal projects, as the support table and back gauge simplify the handling of heavy materials. This makes the ESR range an excellent choice for industries such as:
- Aerospace
- Automotive
- Construction
- General metal fabrication
User-Friendly Design
Ease of use is a key feature of the ESR range. The intuitive touch screen interface and advanced CNC control system ensure that operators can quickly learn and operate the machine, even with minimal prior experience. The ability to program jobs on a PC allows for better workflow management, enabling operators to focus on production rather than spending excessive time on machine setup.
Durable Construction
As with all Morgan Rushworth machinery, the ESR CNC folders are built with durability and reliability in mind. Their robust construction ensures minimal deflection during operation, maintaining precision even under heavy loads. This durability makes the machines a long-term investment for businesses looking to improve their sheet metal folding capabilities.
Customisation Options
To meet the varying needs of different industries, the Morgan Rushworth ESR range offers a variety of optional features and configurations. These include longer back gauges, specialised tooling, and additional programming capabilities, allowing businesses to tailor the machine to their specific requirements. This level of customisation ensures that the ESR range remains a versatile and future-proof solution for growing production demands.
Conclusion
The Morgan Rushworth ESR CNC folders combine precision, efficiency, and versatility to meet the needs of modern fabrication. With bending lengths from 2 metres to 4.2 metres, advanced CNC control, and optional tooling configurations, these machines are designed to handle a wide range of applications. Features such as the integrated back gauge and support table reduce labour requirements, while the intelligent programming system ensures consistent results and minimises waste.
