“KURIMOTO” Variable Press Brake Bending Roll simplifies metal forming and enhances productivity and versatility. Founded in 1909, KURIMOTO provides a uniquely engineered bending roll machine that completely and precisely fabricates near-perfect cylindrical parts, including end-bending, every time! Just load the plate metal, enter four variables, and the CNC accurately pinpoints the roll position. By simplifying the art of plate metal bending, KURIMOTO saves costly scrap and labor, while improving quality. The robust simplicity allows you to utilize your semi-skilled workforce for what once was a skilled position.
KURIMOTO has the only bending roll on the market that utilizes Horizontal Top Roll Motion. This exclusive “KOHO MAGE” (Back Bending) design eliminates secondary operations including laser or plasma cutting the flat ends, removing the pre-bending operation on a press brake results in one-third of the operating time. This “New to America” technology has been proven successful and the preferred bending roll in Japan and throughout Asia for over 40 years!
KURIMOTO calls the YK Balancer an "Ergo Safety Hinge” because it efficiently and effectively reduces the weight of tank lids and manways by up to 80%, minimizing strain on the biceps, shoulders, and backs, as well as operator fatigue. This product decreases injuries and workers comp claims from repetitive lifting. Additionally, it is designed to prevent pinch-point injuries. A safety pin ensures a secure, mechanical means during loading, unloading, and cleaning operations.
The spring-assisted YK Balancer is adjustable, accommodating various ranges of weights for each size unit, from 13-220 Lbf in total. No external power source is necessary: such as electricity, pneumatics, or hydraulics. The waterproof design is proven food- and pharma-safe and constructed from materials to meet sanitary requirements. More than 25,000 units are installed, protecting workers worldwide!
KURIMOTO is a renowned large-scale equipment manufacturer of industrial forging and forming equipment, specializing in automotive vehicles, construction machinery, maritime vessels, and the fabrication of ASME tanks.
