Morgan Rushworth MBR Manual Sheet Bending Rolls

The Morgan Rushworth MBR Manual Sheet Bending Rolls are designed to deliver exceptional performance in heavy-duty sheet metal bending applications. Built to handle materials with thicknesses ranging from 1.0mm to 3.0mm and with a maximum bending length of up to 2050mm, the MBR range is engineered for precision, reliability, and versatility. These machines are particularly suited to workshops and fabrication environments that require consistent, high-quality results for a variety of bending tasks.

The rugged cast iron frame is a standout feature of the MBR range, providing unmatched durability and ensuring a long working life. Designed to withstand the stresses of daily use, even in demanding industrial settings, the frame offers a stable base for accurate and repeatable bending operations. The MBR machines are not only built to last but also to maintain their precision over time, making them a reliable investment for any metalworking facility.

Advanced Design for Superior Results

At the heart of the MBR range is an asymmetric roll configuration, a design choice that significantly enhances the machine’s functionality. This configuration enables precise pre-bending of materials, which is essential for minimising flat spots at the edges of metal sheets. By pre-bending the material before the rolling process, operators can achieve cleaner, more uniform cylindrical shapes. This feature is particularly useful for industries where precision and aesthetics are crucial, such as automotive, aerospace, and decorative metalworking.

The top roll slip design is another key feature that sets the MBR range apart. This mechanism allows the top roll to be easily removed or adjusted, enabling the smooth extraction of finished cylindrical components. Whether working on fully closed cylinders or complex curved shapes, this feature streamlines the workflow and reduces downtime. The combination of pre-bending capability and top roll slip functionality ensures that the MBR range is both versatile and efficient, meeting the diverse needs of modern workshops.

Wide Range of Applications

The Morgan Rushworth MBR Manual Sheet Bending Rolls are suitable for a variety of applications across multiple industries. Their ability to handle thicker materials makes them ideal for tasks such as:

  • HVAC Systems: Rolling parts for ducting, piping, and ventilation systems.
  • Construction and Structural Work: Forming curved beams, panels, and decorative elements for buildings.
  • General Fabrication: Creating cylindrical, conical, or curved shapes for custom projects or repair work.

The MBR range’s versatility ensures that it can meet the requirements of both large-scale production facilities and smaller workshops. Its ability to handle materials of varying thicknesses and lengths makes it a go-to solution for businesses that need reliable performance across different projects.

Ease of Operation

Despite their advanced features, the MBR Manual Bending Rolls are designed with simplicity and usability in mind. The controls are intuitive, allowing operators of varying experience levels to use the machine effectively. Clear markings and adjustable settings make it easy to configure the machine for different tasks, ensuring consistent results every time.
